tyrion Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 It's now 40% larger and called the Exurban, but pretty much yeah. May as well just spring for the front portion of a semi truck, though. That's a life skill. Wmcmanus has one of those attached to a motorhome.
Sherwood Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Wmcmanus has one of those attached to a motorhome. Exactly. And look how well things are going for him.
tyrion Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Exactly. And look how well things are going for him. I hear ya. Hopefully, he is staying warm in Idaho.
Sherwood Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 I can't imagine the atom is terribly good in the snow...
tyrion Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 I can't imagine the atom is terribly good in the snow... Not with Wayne at the wheel.
grawk Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 safer in idaho in the snow than in florida where there are other drivers
Sherwood Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 I think we might have found the small car for your son, though, Mike. Atom.
tyrion Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 I won't even get him a GTI and believe me I want to so I can drive it. Dan, you're not kidding. He wants to bring the whole rig down here. I'm not sure Florida will ever be the same.
Sherwood Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 I remember when my dad also bought me a '67 Camaro then my mom found out.
tyrion Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 I remember when my dad also bought me a '67 Camaro then my mom found out. My first car was a '72 Cuda.
grawk Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Mike, just get him an R32, and tell the wife it's a rabbit.
Sherwood Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 My first car was '76 pacer. Be your Dad, Mike. Don't be my Mom.
JBLoudG20 Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Posted December 30, 2008 Make your son buy his own car?
n_maher Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Tried to buy a PS3 tonight, got screwed by Sony and their dumbass CC and will now have to wait at least 2 weeks before I can order it at the discounted price. At least they'll honor the discount but it's annoying nonetheless. Mike, your son needs an old vintage Land Rover from the late 60s or early 70s. It's only got 2 seats and is so slow he can hardly get himself in trouble with it. Trust me, I had one.
deepak Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 You could also surprise him with a really nice mountain bike. He might be pissed when he finds out that's what you meant by "car"
tyrion Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 You could also surprise him with a really nice mountain bike. He might be pissed when he finds out that's what you meant by "car" if anyone is getting a real nice mountain bike, it's me. He can have my Barracuda.
Pars Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 I remember when my dad also bought me a '67 Camaro then my mom found out. My first car was a '72 Cuda. Posting the car without saying what was in it is pretty misleading. The '67 Camaro could have been a 6-banger, or V8... possibly a 327 (or was it still 283 in '67???) or even a big block (396 for sure, 427 was also probably available). The Cuda could also have been a 6-banger, a 318, a 340, 440 (think so in 72) and maybe even a 426 hemi. My first car was a '70 Chevelle SS396 4spd. Sometimes I wish I still had it For my son's sake, I'm glad that I don't.
tyrion Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 'cuda was a 340 with a 650 or 750 cfm 4 barrel carb, 4 speed with pistol grip, Hooker headers and glass packs, traction bars BF Goodrich 50's on the rear, Crane cam and 3400 lb pressure plate on the clutch, forgot what kind.
Dusty Chalk Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 A couple books and magazines, some of which were Christmas presents A couple bottles of wine from world market Need to get another shelf for mah wine rack Hello Kitty Candy And if all goes well this time, a new graphics card and memory for one of my computers
justin Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 My problem is I'm looking for a small car for my son and those are selling so the deals aren't so good. 04+ S2K
The Monkey Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Leather cleaning/deodorizing stuff for my mk1.
padam Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 A big package came today and I was surprised how small were the things that came in it.
swt61 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) My first car was a '72 Cuda. 72' Duster here. I was having the block bored at my local machine shop when I spotted a 426 Hemi complete with high stall B&M automatic trans, 671 roots blower and it was the twin distributer (2 sparkplugs per cylinder) racing motor. They were selling it for the cost of the work done on it. The guy couldn't pay, and the total cost was $2,500.00. I tried and tried to talk my Dad into letting me buy it. He never would relent. Now I understand that my 16 y.o. self + light bodied Duster + 1000 HP engine would have = disaster, but do you have any idea what that motor is worth today? Oh and for Pars... 340 block, ported and polished heads, 850 Holley, Edelbrock high rise manifold, Hooker headers, Accel distributer, 11-1 compression (kept blowing head gaskets) and a B&M automatic w/high stall torque converter.
