I've got an IH with a brand new Black Diamond and I can tell you for pretty sure driving it long distance will suck real bad.

Oh awesome then you definitely know, haha.

The way it would be fun is build it into a camper and then non-highway road trip. It'd be the same as what we called "bus time" when I had my bay. At least double the normal trip time.

Huh. 20Rs weren’t all that fast in the tiny things they came in. That thing has to be abysmal.

With the 460 out of there, it only weighs like 4800lbs though!

If it was a Starlet or something you could just relocate the firewall and the back seat becomes the driver seat. Easy peasy

Dude's really proud of his non-running vehicle with hosed 300TDI engine... that needs to be replaced... but priced like it still runs.

"Cons: Needs new 300 Tdi engine after it overheated (it does not turn over), and I cannot afford to rebuild/replace it"

traded in at a dealership for an effective tiny fraction of what they were asking, but on-paper close to their asking price, because the dealer ran up the numbers everywhere else so it'd come out in the wash, and now they have 84 months of $750 payments on their new 2012 land cruiser

I assume that was a diesel? The Tarago is 4 cyl 2.4 lt petrol, auto, FWD.

After doing a bit of research .......hmmm, NEXT!

quote:

Imagine driving 200,000 miles in a year. That's about 14 times more than the average American driver logs in a year, according to federal government statistics, and it adds up to almost 548 miles per day — if you literally drive every day. Now, imagine doing it for five straight years. Not behind the wheel of a semi truck, but a gray 2013 Hyundai Elantra. All on the original powertrain.

Most likely tourism related, airport and hotel transfers or something like that. Taxis here are pretty much all LPG or hybrids.

Or a courier. A minivan like that with the seats removed could carry a decent amount of small items around, or art objects or something. I've heard of jobs like where someone makes a round trip between two regional offices of a company, carrying inter-office mail, every day for years. Cheaper to employ a person and a minivan than to use a mail carrier and pay same-day mail rates.

Hospitals also do this. I worked a temp summer job driving a focus station wagon all over the county picking up stuff like blood samples and biopsies from doctor's offices. Probably around 200-250 miles a day 6 days a week.

The cars looked like they were in good shape but had around 200k + miles after 3 ish years.

I'm so mad Fiero guy has to do school and real life because those videos were good. I'm glad he got it running before he had to stop for a bit. Also I've been browsing Pennocks Fiero forum because I love malaise era gm apparently. There's two companies that have kits for bolting in c5 front and rear suspension. Apparently you need about 26" of front frame rail area for front and 23" of rear frame rail in back. https://www.progressiveautomotive.com/installations-kits-parts/c5c6-corvettefrontrearkit.html and Dobbertin has it where if you can just weld in some 2x4 metal frame section their kits will bolt to them.
