RE: Cars Thread
I have been looking at cars for a while now trying to figure out what I want next. Nothing really excites me though kinda sad really. I think I may go back to Subaru and get a used Forester XT and have fun modding that.

Wow, people usually laugh when I say that. Always wanted one or both myself. I also love the Buick Grand National, but those are harder to come by than a C4 or fox body. Finding a decent one for a price that isn't near that of a new car is hard. Actually, the earlier comment about there being no good American cars after a certain date is one I've heard a lot, but most people forget about the Grand National. Granted, it was just one model and wasn't made that long, which is usually why people don't mention it.

I like both. In fact I'm looking to buy a C4.

RE: Cars Thread
Why would anyone want an LS1 in a WRX? I know they make cheap power, but it kind of destroys the soul of the car. Like swapping a beetle or an RX-7. I dunno, it's probably just me.
Personally, I have no interest in either a transvestite (RWD) or a castrated (FWD) Subaru. [&:] AWD!!!!!!
All the Grand Nationals around here are either ruined DDs or show cars. I've yet to find one in average shape at an average price. It's either a rolling wreck that somehow still runs, or has less than 5000 miles on it and rides around in a trailer.

Because some people find a challenge, and want to make something of it.

Actually considering how far forward the engine sits, ThunderbirdJunkie could see it being done without any major sheetmetal surgery.
He'd like to build a small block Ford powered Audi 80/90 some day when he has more money than brains

I still love the old 84 Bronco, with the 351W in it with the Borg-Warner T-18 tranny.
Oh an a few rebel flags hagin off the back.

That new Citroen is positively disgusting. Hopefully it's just a mockup.
There is someone who has one of the older ones near here, I'll snap a pic if I drive by it.

RE: Cars Thread
i just bought a new truck, but not a rc !
this truck is from the USA,(cluster in MPH) so i think thats why its so clean and rust-free ! 120 000 miles on it and running like a 2010 ! i guess thats why here(canada) cars are all rusted after 3-4 years of running in salty snow !
it will be a lot more usefull to carry my rc trucks to my bashing spots than the dakota i had before
