Sir Tonk posted:The GN only came in black, so he was technically correct. Here is where your logic fails you. Technically he was not correct. Because he metioned turbo's and not GN's. All GN's were turbo's and black. But not all turbo's were GN's and not all turbo's were black. Given SyHopeful's car is a black, GN. But the post you referenced made a comment about turbo buicks in general and not specifically GN's. _firehawk fucked around with this message at 14:10 on Jul 6, 2009 |

DropShadow posted:Somehow I doubt he rode there the whole time. He wasn't there the whole time, we switched positions every few hours. The middle of the bench seat was the worst, since the padding was miniscule there. I liked the bed, unless it was really cold. _firehawk posted:Here is where your logic fails you.

VikingSkull posted:That's a nice Elky, though, my first car was an '82. edit Some more pics:  Bypassing the heater core and refilling.  Dyno testing  Loaded up about to leave the car show.  Fallout3 on the road.  Food break, air shocks kept draining slowly.  Finally got pulled over, I was in the back and got ignored thankfully. We were in Louisiana at this point and they don't care about people in the back of pickups in the South. Got a handful of shots from the car show, if anyone wants to see some classic GM stuff.

 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2"BB and 245/75/16 re-treads Reliable, great in the winter months, and performs good enough off road for the time being. Just gets lovely gas mileage.. But that isnt why I bought it.

But what if mine were a black WE4???  Its a semantical argument that I'd rather not continue but you pretty much said what i was going to say.

Here is my 2008 wabbit after being washed, clay barred and waxed! Ahh lens flare!  I painted my calipers red too.  Here is the good ol' 5 cylinder.  170 HP plus a little oomph with the Carbonio cold air intake.  Would you look at the butt on that...

I'm surprised they didn't gently caress with you about having someone in the bed. Usually LA state troupers are loving assholes about that. Local cops not so much.

I was looking for some parts and bought another Camaro. It's an '86 Z28 5.0 HO, lol high output, 5spd - one of 74 made that year. And i found a pic of the party van i bought for $200.  We mainly use it for playing videogames during lunch and downtime at work but it is pretty fun to drive your living room down the road. It's a 350 one owner conversion van with a ton of records. The original owner bought a new one and was just looking to sell this one and get it out of his driveway.

k one sec...  1987 Buick Regal T Its white. The daily whip:  e: '94 Chevy Blazer K-15, aka "C-Cup" TBI 350, 4x4, 251,000 miles on original 4l60e (knocks on wood).

After a few F-bodies and a Mustang I decided to go a different direction a few months ago. I was looking at C5 Corvettes and 05-06 GTO's, as well as 03-04 Cobras and G8 GT's. Then I saw this little(okay, 4000+ pounds huge) guy right down the street and decided that it would fit my persoanlity better to have a 4-door car that will smoke all the above in a straight line, for the same price(mid 20's). I'ma huge fan of sleepers. I've made about 30 runs at the dragstrip, and the WORST one was a 12.45. Best run to date is a 12.35 @ 114 in the 1/4 mile and a 7.96 @ 89 in the 1/8th mile, BONE STOCK, street tires, 80+ degrees, humid, hot-lapping it, full tank of fuel and a 275 pound driver. I could give a poo poo about going around corners, but it seems to do just as well as my 95 Z-28, which probably isn't saying much. The view most traffic sees  Just a silver 4-door car, pretty boring  14.2" brakes and 8 piston calipers  5.4L, ~9psi, 500 hp(underrated @ 469 hp), 516 lb-ft of torque  How fast you are going and the time are apparantly all that matter  There are a lot of interior and other shots posted in the E55 thread.

And is the rear spoiler missing? yeah thats the holden emblem. i have done almost the full holden monaro conversion. and about a month after buying the car back in 04 I removed the spoiler and had the holes welded up. all I have to do to finish the holden conversion is change the air bag.
