I'd open the hatch and get two (or three) guys to sit back there and bounce... redline and dump the clutch. Silliest burnouts ever.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:My friend used to drive a Turbo Sprint back in high school. We never did the burnout trick (although that sounds amazing), but we could get a few guys together and turn it sideways in parking lots. My friends pulled that one on me quite a few times. If I parked it with the e-brake pulled but not in gear they'd roll it into a different spot, wheelbarrow style. buttcrackmenace fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Dec 18, 2013 |

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:Why don't you get something that you won't have to change the brakes on, multiple times per year. A bit confused here. Are F-250s known for abnormal brake wear? Haven't had many brake-related issues with the Durango... 3 brake jobs in the ~7 years I've owned it. Kind of a moot point anyway, as the seller never emailed me back. Off to search again.

slidebite posted:keyword Zombie? This. Parts availability has become an issue as well as the model's limited sales run means that many of the SVX specialty parts are p much NLA. I also wanted one. Back in 1998 or so I was searching for something else and stumbled across an SVX for sale. The kicker? This was the very same car which was featured in Car & Driver's June 1993 El Coupe Comparo ! (BTW I think I still have a copy of this issue of C&D in storage. That particular comparo was a great read.) I had a long talk with the owner. His father-in-law bought it from C&D's holding company then gifted it to him as a wedding present. Claimed to have the documents to prove it. Known problems? "The mofflers and catalytic converters are rusted, need to replace. The aire no work, I no fix because I do no drive this car in the summer. The windscreen has crack. It have a little rust in the back. Is easy fix!" I thought the ~$16K asking price was a bit on the high side. "is a collectors' item! car is famous car! they no make these any more!" Did some more calling around. $900+ to service the A/C? $1200 for a new windshield? $1500 "and up" for new mufflers and cats? gently caress no. those were the parts & labor prices for those items in the late '90s. They must be nearing Ferrari price levels by now 1500quidporsche posted:What made me sell mine was the $800 MAF. I got ridiculously lucky and it was just the connections burnt out but that was the eye opener. That engine has a ton of one off stuff that is going to run up the bill pretty quickly if you can't find a way to fix it. ayup buttcrackmenace fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Dec 10, 2015 |

One of these would make an outstanding home-to-work-and-back vehicle - and the narrow track would mean no more needing to squeeze into my assigned spot... where should I start looking for these? generally i'd buy a car in the states and have it shipped down, but since Customs considers us to be international i might just consider bringing one in from asia.

Holy poo poo. My godfather had the exact car - same model year, same two-tone paint, same white interior.. when we were kids he'd pay my brother and I $5 to wash it, then he'd take us for icecreamcones if we did a good job I don't recall us ever finishing the job in less than 5 hours. This is a big car.

I decided to add "rare" to my searches, because people always seem to equate it with "valuable." dat mileage in the early 80's there was a used-car dealer here that decided to break into the booming discount car-rental business they imported a fleet of 40 or so Le Cars - which basically evaporated due to the salt air. ~ two years later they tried again - with a fleet of Yugo GVs. With hilarious results. The cars (and the company) no longer exist.
