  1. Lustworthy....although I have a question...was the 455 HO ever built as a convertible, or are those clones?
  2. i always did like the look of those. A nice CJ 7 raised on 33" Tires, looked great....
  3. Very true....! Well, it is black and Does run on Rattle juice....
  4. Sweet! For a guy like me who loves sports cars, seeing the renewal and rebirth of the sorts car is awesome!
  5. Reality is challenging at times.... The Chinese want to move into the future with clean energy. We should follow their example.
  6. 1982 CJ8 Scrambler - $9500 (Orlando) condition: good 1982 Jeep CJ8 manual transmission title : clean 1982 Jeep Scrambler. If you are looking for a short description of the beast pictured here, I can offer you two words "MEAT & POTATOES". This is the All American chariot of the free world. This is no ordinary cookie cutter Jeep. This thing was forged from a single block of Tungsten Steel. I wasn't looking for a rice burning hatch back, a solar powered liberal mobile, or even a Hyundai crossover, this beast is a piece of red white and blue Americana Machinery. This baby's pulse is pumping uncensored raw fuel through her 4.2 liter straight six nuclear power plant. This is no metro feminine automatic, it has a 5 speed manual shift and no AC. If you want to blow the sweat off your brow you do it the old fashioned way: doors off and top down. "What if it rains?" I don't care about rain, not even skin melting acid rain. This isn't the kind of Jeep that has to be parked in the garage, so the "carpet doesn't get wet and soggy" This thing has drain holes in the floor and rhino lining to let the blood drain out from the buffalo I just killed with my bare hands. This is a ride suited for William Wallace and when it gets dirty, you can leave your "sissy sponge glove car wash kit" in the pink bucket it came in. If need be, I'll spark up a 6000 psi heated pressure washer on the dually trailer from my man cave, cause I can pressure wash this truck on the inside or outside. She's even got roll cage in case that buffalo comes back to life while I'm doing 80 over some mountain pass or flooded river. And forget about putting one of those "It's a Jeep Thing. . .You wouldn't understand" stickers on this machine cause when I'm spotted in this American Classic there will be no questions, no further explanation required, people will understand and get out of my way. . . . .real quick. So get ready for some changes, cause this will be happening. What will be happening? Glad you asked. . .. 1. More chest hair. 2. Grow a beard. 3. Meat only diet. 4. T-Rex for an indoor pet. 5. Fianlly taking a job at the lumber mill. 6. A Jeep that carries five kegs. 8. Catch more fish. 9. Wire bristled toothbrush. 10. All male offspring. 11. Chiseled jaw line. 12. Not giving a damn. 13. Counting to infinity 14. Chuck Norris. 15. Building stuff out of stone, with your bare hands. 16. Riding a grizzly bear through a car wash 17. Bar fights. 18. Ron Burgandy pool party And that's gonna be on a slow Tuesday. Other particulars: 35 inch tires, lifted really damn high, brand new full soft top, original half soft top, original soft doors, original seats in great shape, a little rust in the floor board (see pic), mechanically sound and I'll be happy to talk to you about the things I planned to do this spring on it. Economy took it's toll, lost my job 4 months ago and haven't found anything yet, my loss is your gain. do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers post id: 4389533696 posted: 2 months agoupdated: 19 days agoemail to friend ♥ best of [?] Avoid scams, deal locally Beware wiring (e.g. Western Union), cashier checks, money orders, shipping.
  7. Nothing will help them at this point. Their corssover ahs sup par reliability, the novelty is wearing off of the brand, and their dealer network is not what it needs to be. I see them folding within the next five or ten years in terms of North American Sales. As they should....
  8. Not mine, but I love the pic! Not mine either, but cool.....what can you all bring to the table?
  9. Again, huge tax breaks in a way just complcate things. Methinks some kind of national flat tax would work best....
  10. Amazing indeed.....let's see what happens when the $7500 tax credit runs out on these.
  11. The point of this is the 900 plus HP and the astonishing performance, not the fuel economy.
  12. Serious....a Celica...? Ninja-Toyota! The Official Ohio version of the Celica, rare, limited production!
  13. Depends on the VW product, Golf is fairly reliable, Beetle not so much....esp prev. Beetle, current Beetle is somewhat better.
  14. People want confirmation bias and not reality. Pretty much why people remain Cubs fans....
  15. Yes on the Mitsubishi, Mustang II was the right car for the times, as Ford sold a bejillion of them, and it wasn't that bad of a car. Aztek was just GM ahead of the curve (look at the ugly products from BMW, Honda and others that follwoed that were actually much uglier) Vega was well engeneered and poorly executed, Yugo was just plain crap, but it was cheap, Edsel actually had some redeeming value before it became an utter Joke. Pontiac built cars alter with a similar grill to the edsel, and sold a bejillion of them...
  16. ....Into a Toyota dealership and decided to properly test drive a Tacoma. He was even kind enough, as a Loyal C and G member, to videotape the test drive for us! www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8ZOf8xp1no Chris One has to approve of his methodology!
  17. This could be fantastic or could be horrible, the devil is in the details.
  18. I pretty much think that we need to simplify the whole thing, and yes, use gas tax for infrastucture.
  19. Went out with my wife to dinner, took her out for mothers day. Parked between a sweetly detailed C5Z06 dark blue, and a black 500 Abarth Fiat. Had a huge rain storm coming home, followed black C4 through one hellmof a storm back to our subdivision. I really would not mind a Corvette... And I have this silly thing for C4 VETTS....
  20. Seems like the next zr1 Corvette has a lofty target to hit. Now that this car is out....wow, mm whata car!
  21. I have always thought these were cool, but zero crash safety ad near zero acceleration are deal breakers to me.
  22. This would be a great car. However, should the TDI get more reliable wit the new engine, performance update could make me my own GTD.
