One more payment (this month!) and I will be the proud owner of my 1996 Geo Tracker with nearly 180,000 miles on it.
Then...the instant the check is deposited... it will come completely apart.

I've been in my little ol Cutlass but I got into a bit of a scrape on sunday and now the front is a bit smashed up, still drivable but I need to salvage a few parts and panels.
Image
Because the Cutlas is unsafe with it's non attached hood I was luckey enough to get to borrow this. (I dont have a real photo bu this is basically it.) A 3.2L Intrepid, I love that car, one day when I will make it mine!
Image
And this is my ultimate goal! I dont know why I like these things. Its partially the look and the power... and I am actually able to sit in this vehicle and fit. Unless you are 6'6" you have now idea how good it feels to actually fit properly in a car. Anyway I almost had one but the insurance company was like "Your young and male therefore if you want this $3000 car you will need to pay us $4000 a year!" So yeah... someday...

Richie every time I see your camaro, I want it more, then remember with gas being so expensive, I couldn't afford to drive home. ;D

Drake, I must admit I love the intrepid, has a very sleek look to it, its a shame its not avaliable in the UK, although the new peugot is a copy of its design. just bigger.

LOL, yeah-just as I put a new motor in it the gas jumps up.  Oh well, it doesn't matter that much.  I actually only drive it a few hundred miles a year and therefore the gas mileage doesn't make that much of a difference.  Right now its still not running as the engine swap is taking longer than expected and I am so busy with school applications (which take priority unfortunately  :'().  But, I hope it will be running by the end of the summer.  I does look a bit different now though, that pic was taken last summer at a car show.  It currently has a cowl induction hood on it which isn't painted blue (its a primer black) and should get painted this winter.  I'd post a newer pic but its in the garage under a cover at the moment.

But, there is a possibility I will be getting another car in the near future.  I have always wanted to build a car for the 1/4 mile drag races and have finally decided that I should.  I went up to a major amature drag racing event last weekend (I had been to other events smaller events in the past) and watched one of my best friend's and his father race.  Anyway, I decided that I should build a car.  I'm in the process of looking for a cheap 1978-80 Camaro (hopefully under $500).  I want a V8 car but the motor can be blown since I have a 350 V8 sitting in my garage just begging for a home.  I figure drop $200 into that motor and it'll make 300hp-perfect for a beginner's race car.   8)

Shakes from the engine or while driving? It may be out of alignment, me old culass had a problem with the shakes around 78mph and then after a little crash I got it aligned and now its fine up through about 92 with a little rattle between 82 and 87.
