I'm sure all you guys remember the Chevy Spectrum I acquired a bit ago, well, it sits, in front of my house. I'm trying to sell it, and can't get ANYONE to buy it. I'm down to the point of 200 bones for the car, it runs/drives/stops/goes just fine, needs work yea, but god dam, 200 bucks, can't beat it. Anyhow, I've been having silly thoughts about it, as in, why not put ____ motor in it and drive the balls off of it. Silly idea? I think so, but man it'd be fun. My thinking was maybe a 20v 4AG, or a 4G63, something way out of left field. Or should I just keep plugging along selling the thing? My thinking is that I could build something to take the abuse I don't give the Rado, since I drive that thing like it's made out of tinfoil. I have to Koni's on the VW, fix the exhaust, and I think I'll be finished for a bit, why fix it if it's not broken yea? The bike is nearing completion, decided to go a different direction, which equates to a cheaper, more rideable bike, and it'd be cool to have a stupid sleeper for whenever I decide to beat the piss out of something.
So yea? MS+20v+Spectrum+widened steelies=1900 lbs of 50/50 fun.
If you're down to 200 for it then you might as well do something fun with it. Another fun thing would be a back flip. It might take some work builiding the right shape into the take-off ramp but if we built it right I'm pretty sure you could stick the landing. But seriously, if you can own 3 vehicles then I say do it.
Well I honestly dont consider the Honda a 'vehicle', as it takes up little space in reality. I need to liquidate several things out of the garage, freeing up some space, and then tuck everything in the corner. I have a LOT of stuff that is really just 'there'. I probably won't do anything to it until I finish the bike, which like I said, is going a different route, because i just want to be able to ride the dam thing. My original plan, which was a full-on show rebuild, powdercoat everything and make it all pretty, well, it's a lot of money, and maybe down the road, but when I get stuck in the rain coming home from work, I'll be glad I don't have the 700$ wrapped up into wheels as they are getting covered with crud.
The only problem right now is space. As of right now we have: Corrado _____ (Kyle's New car) Se-R The Rectum GTI FX16 QX4 on occasion, like this weekend

Well the GTi as you know is leaving. And nothing is parked in the garage, which is good. So until the popo leave me a nice little note telling us to move all the cars, I don't see much of a problem, sure there is the juggle of driveway space, but that is how it's always been. It's not like we are parking cars in the backyard(Jason).
