Paulyski 2,227 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Ummmm.... I like 'em big and I love Cadillacs.... Me too... Bad-ass coupe-D! I would have a 96 Sedan Deville, but they tend to have engine & tranny issues. Too bad I never got a pic of my 73 Eldo with the 4" whitewalls. I personally have never been a fan of putting custom rims on a luxury car for my own. I tend to eventually scrap the little sporty cars... This is where my education about treadwear ratings was reinforced, Lower the # the better & stickier. I had just gone from 180 treadwear z rated to 360 treadwear. Fuck what tire salesmen tell you, the lower the # the stickier, period. Can you guess what my favorite color for a car is? But I got tired of being pulled over, so I stay stock now, & no more red or tint... And I help others make their dream cars, AKA, "cop-magnets" Edited July 29, 2010 by Paulyski Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PVT Pablo 25 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 ^^^ haha nice ^^^ heres my daily. 97' Chevy Blazer. I hope to put a 350 in it someday, 230hp isn't enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogMan 2,343 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 None of the vehicles that I have had in recent history would be worthy of a photograph. All are four wheel drive SUV or pickup type vehicles. Very utilitarian, very boring, but also very dependable and capable of going just about anywhere. Flashy vehicles mean nothing to me, I'd rather be virtually invisible on the road. I'm lucky if I wash mine every two weeks. It's got to have a great stereo, hold a lot of gear, have good rubber and be mechanically almost perfect. Most importantly, my dog has to like it. I always buy them new but they get well used very fast so 2-3 years is about average for a vehicle for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And perhaps a Dana 44 under the front and some 37" tires? If it has a 4.3 V6 the 350 will bolt right up, but it will eat a 4L60 tranny quick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haha I would love to do a lift but it's just too much of a hassle to do it on a blazer. Maybe a body lift and bigger tires. Yeah its got the 4L60e, I've got a donor tranny from my friends truck. If I really had the money and the time, I'd like to get a LS9 in it, then I'd really be havin' fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VaiFanatic90 360 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 My 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport. I'm the original owner, and have since put only about 32K miles on it.

My left foot feels neglected if there's no clutch pedal. Hell, I had to learn stick at 7, and I thought it was fun even then. Driving is supposed to be fun, auto just isn't fun to me. Plus, I like coasting and downshifting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For auto-cross, the closest form of racing to a car chase, where the driver must constantly negotiate hairpins & really work the car's built suspension, Manuel is still king. _________________________________________________________________________________ But on a side note... Anyone else here restore buggies? This was my 73 Super Beetle. I had it cherried out before someone sideswiped the front driver's fender. I sold it because I needed cash, but recently saw it. She still runs perfect & holds a perfect 800 rpm idle without missing at all. Buggies are the best car to restore IMHO. You can get them cheap, restore them for a low price & all the parts are available brand new & not too expensive. The resale value for a good buggie is 3 to 10 times what they sold for brand new. It's one of the only cars I've ever restored & got more $$ than I put in to it back out of it at sale. Edited July 30, 2010 by Paulyski Quote Link to post Share on other sites
