remember these
. i had one back in my younger years fire engine red with a bigger engine of course i went through tires and brake pads like no tomorrow
. you come watch us sometime we race some crazy shit. we race everything from fart cars all the way up to the mclarens
and it's a blast!!! though i always think it's funny passing a fart car and peeling there sides off
. this is funny our neighbors kid works and he wants an enzo i was like how are you going to afford one. he was like it's not that expensive. so i priced one out and he crapped his pants when he seen the price tag of 2 million bucks and 37 k a yr for insurance
and lets not forget maintance as he will be going through tires and break pads. i'm really considering a lambo adventador for my next toy

i did like mine, 2WD, V-6, (3.0), but it sucked up the gas faster than a cheap crack ho in Philly.

Sarcastic remark goes here
My 1989 Ranger has a 2.9 V6 with a 5 speed stick.
It gets about 25 on the highway.
I want to put the 4.0 engine in it. Not the early pushrod one, but the OHC version.
And I want to go to the junkyard & take everything from the spindles outward from a 1997 Ranger. It'll swap over to mine. They went with larger wheels in that year and therefore had to upgrade the brakes to a larger rotor & dual piston calipers. But my 14" rims will still fit.
On the rear I can get disc brakes if I use a 1993 Ford Explorer axle but it would require cutting the leaf spring saddles off the bottom & weld them on the top. And take the master cylinder from the Explorer too. Too much hassle.
But the '89 does have inferior front calipers. They tend to seize.

I get about 28 highway (at 65-66) out of my '01 S-10.
Falls on its face in town though. But. Magnaflow exhaust. So it's my fault. Squee.

I can understand what you saying...but you don't have as many big bosses as I have....I like racing and I have a grand time at the tracks....They put me in the mule to watch the races with a camera and I sometimes pick up the time tickets.....I love my bosses each and everyone of them their a fun bunch.

driving a super car is like sex
. everything from the angry engine to the smooth shits being able to take it out and throw it around and shes what she's got LOL driving something that makes you go bonkers and mental by 3rd gear and screaming i'n in love when you hit 180 MPH
as you drift around the track leaving rubber and smoke OH yea
. no i am my own boss i can do what ever i want. living off of investment properties and working one day a month is awsome life is hard. though i am not better than anyone else nor am i a snob i am thankful for what i have
.. id'e love to retire but there's no way in hell i'm ready for my rocking chair!!!
Because it's been driven by big guys most of its life and it doesn't fit me. It sits low enough to make me feel intimidated on the freeway, it's underpowered and there's a hitch in the rear when you apply or lift off the accelerator.
I still have the stupid thing. It's a '99XTreme. But I basically "gave" it to my guy so he can have it at his shop to use for running after parts.
Bought a '98 Sierra yesterday. I like it a lot more.
