Our Cars (dream or actual)

[bagley920]

So I'm gonna be getting a 2000 Jeep Cherokee this week. Has a new engine with less than 1000 miles on it, new radiator, new water pump, for $3500. Less than 1/3 of what I budgeted for a new car. Wondering how I can pimp this thing without looking like a 17 year old driving around town…

@mclaincausey:

shudder. Should have at least made the outside khaki and maybe the interior Burberry plaid. Though on a car that is also heinous.

There was also a limited edition Gucci Fiat 500….. Barf. One Christmas in Peoria I saw a late 90s Stratus that someone had spray painted purple and then airbrushed on fake LV graphics. Classy!

There's only so many things you can do to make a Stratus look even worse, but that sure as fuck is one of 'm…

Bags, just rock it for what it is.  Other than getting tires and/or wheels, just keep it as stock as long as you can stand it.  You'll probably never see a dime of what you put into it if you sell it later on.  Trust me…

The sensible response - take care of any rust/safety issues and bank the rest for maintenance, etc. Clint is spot on.

Or spend the rest of the cash on a motorcycle.

Or a jetpack. You know: whilst we're all being sensible!..

Putting money into non classics is a waste, and a wast for classics sometimes even. Just rock it as is and beat it up. It is a jeep after all. If you travel a lot then throw some Yakima racks and shit on it cause its nice having the room inside to sleep or whatever when traveling. I have a jeep and I have drove it all around this country. As long as its a v6 and not v8, it will run like a monster. Be wary of the old v8 jeeps though because they often blow transmissions

Picked up a new whip

1969 GMC 1500, 307 with a 4 speed.  Very little on this truck is original, or even there for that matter, so I'm gonna get to have a lot of fun with this one.  I've got it driving reliably around town for now.  Wiring, body work, suspension, bed outfit, paint… Should be done quickly, right?

fuck yeah
love those years tj
my old man had a 72 k5 blazer when i was a kid
it got stolen and when he got it "back" it was basically a shell and a roller
so when he rebuilt it every panel was a different color from all the donor trucks
she was named the rainbow warrior
35"s and a slight lift

This is what happened to mine a number of years ago. I was a jeep but until then, but still catch myself desiring one again  from time to time. :-\
