Had a 93 rx7 tt, but I just sold it this weekend. New r1 will be on the way very shortly!!!

Anyway, I am now left with my trusty old 94 Grand Prix with 150000 miles. Probably going to buy a pick em up truck when my prixer dies so that I'll have something to haul my bikes with.

'89 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer edition. I bought it for $1500, fixed it up, and it drives like a champ. Great in the snow/mud/sand (4x4) pretty good mileage (20's), looks good considering age and such, cheap so I have more money to spend on my next bike. It even has a towing package 4.10's and a limited slip so I can hook up a trailer and throw a couple dirt bikes or a quad in it and go.

The hell with a car, I drive a truck. I am able to load my beloved one up in the truck and take it on long vacations with me (unless I ride). If I get stuck somewhere I don't have to call for a tow (expensive). When I want to bring it to the shop for some goodies, load her up, drop off, get in truck and I am on my way..

Got to have a truck. :fact

Jim out :thumbup

1966 Ford Galaxie 500XL convertible.

-Baby blue paintjob
-Shaved hood ornament, removed rear quarter trim
-Custom white & baby blue seats
-Matching baby blue console
-White dash (really looks sweet!)
-Chrome aircraft style seatbelts (didn't have belts when I bought it)
-White top w/ glass rear window (didn't have a top either!)
-Dual-line brake system (still manual drums though)
-Rebuilt drums front & back
-Chrome American Racing Tailgunner rims (wider than stock)
-Raised white letter Uniroyal Tiger Paw GTS tires (wider & lower profile than stock)
-K&N/Edelbrock air filter
-High perf radiator
-390 cubic inch FE iron block (~300something hp, 427lb/ft torgue)
-C6 heavy duty automatic tranny
-9" differential
-Dual exhaust with burnt-out glasspacks (good rumble while cruising, roaring angry as all hell under full throttle. doesn't sound at all like a beater truck if that's what you're thinking)

The engine & gearing is stock. Haven't gotten into the souping up yet. Just been restoring & rebuilding with my dad. Bought it when I was 16, been restoring it ever since (18 now). It was trashed when I bought it. Now I take it to shows and local cruise nights. Might just save the money I'd have spent mods to buy an R1. Just not sure if I can quite afford it.

And drive her in the rain?! Hell no!!! Did once though, got a burnout through all three gears up to redline. In the rain I drive an '88 Thunderbird.

If anyone wants, I could get some pictures up here probably. Just gotta figure out how.
