It's a lose/lose scenario. If you continue to work off your existing model, you're going to struggle for quite a while. If you walk away, your credit is jacked for the next 7 years (at least). Unless you plan on paying everything with cash moving forward, walking away may not be the ideal...

.45 ammo is getting cleaned out around here.

Just filled up the Jeep today. 87 - $4.23/gal @Unocal 76 Station. Fremont, CA.

Definitely. Percieved value of the make and model factors into it as well. As for the comment regarding 340 cars? Collectors are up to speed on the 340's place in Mopar history. 20 years ago, nobody wanted a 340 car. Nobody even wanted a 340 E-body. Hemi's and 440 cars were desiable back...

Scarcity vs demand is what drives up price. Nowadays, it is difficult finding a car with the matching #'s engine or transmission. It's even more difficult finding a car with both. Matching #'s should command an asking price higher than that of the same car without matching #'s. There isn't a...

I'm wondering what drivetrain combos will be offered. If it is a strictly a 392 project, this car will end up pricing itself out of most of our budgets upwards of $45k. In order for the proposed Barracuda to be competitive, it will need to weigh in the neighborhood of 3,500 - 3,600 lbs. It...

Understandable. Diagnostic equipment isn't cheap. And then there are the costs associated with learning how to use them. Your operating costs will dictate how versatile you will need to be.

Great story.

Just an observation, but where I live the muffler and brake shops have turned into full blown auto service shops. They have expanded their services beyond brakes and exhaust to general troubleshooting and repair. I checked out two exhaust shops recently for catalytic convertor work and were...

I agree that it's "restified". It is done so tastefully, but doesn't help the value of the car. What would help is having the #'s matching drivetrain. You can repaint a car as many times as you want to (expensive), but once that #'s matching motor is gone...it's gone for good.

Congrats Scott.

I would also recommend taking a look at the Altima. The 4 cyl versions price around what your looking at (comparing to Elantra & Impreza). I used to sell Hyundai's back in 1999 - 2000. This was when Hyundai first offered the 10 yr/100,000 mile powertrain warranties. Hyundai was the first to...

I've lost it... But that comes with rent/house payment, car payment, paying your own insurance premiums, utility bills, groceries and whatever other necessity I forgot to mention :banghead:

Don't do it. You're already in the "friend" zone. Chances are she's already seeing/hooking up with someone else and just keeping you in the back pocket for fallout. Sorry you had to hear it here first. But go ahead and ignore the 10+ posts above that say stay away. Go ahead and dump hundreds of...

I use Imageshack. 1. Just select the photo to upload. 2. Select "message board" size. 3. Submit. It gives you the pic which you can save for later use and also provides a forum code link. Some forums require the link and do not allow the uploading of the actual photo even if it's...

I did find irony in that the best driver of the bunch had the automatic.

It's not just China. I know everyone wants to make China the bad guy here, but it's been happening for a long time now. I remember back in the 80's when the largest U.S. companies were opening factories in Mexico. There was the same backlash back then as there is now. And yes, it also...

I still see way too many people with phones pinned to their ears while driving. It's not surprising that these are the ones cutting other people off, unsafe lane changes or driving slow in the passing lanes.

This is more true than anyone could imagine nowadays. In 1970, you could get a Hemi Challenger for around $4,500. this equates to about $26k in today's dollars (we're talking about MSRP here). In 1970, that Challenger was the king of the hill and at the top of the Challenger line up...in other...

I wish I could say the same. My commute isn't very far. no more than 25 round trip miles per day plus extracurricular stuff on the weekends. I have a 2012 Mustang GT and I'm hitting the gas station on a weekly basis. Gas just hit $4.20 (Super Unleaded) here in Union City yesterday.

I got down to replacing some of the "little stuff" the past week. I replaced the rear hatch supports over the weekend and new wiper blades. I had a new cat welded in on Friday. The old one was rattling and triggered a CEL. Both issues are gone. Exhaust shops in Cali charge an arm and leg...

Wow. Nice Shooting Joe.

Oooooo. Congrats. I'm taking my GF to the pistol range tonight. It's what she wanted to do for Valentines Day.

I've read, have read, all of those magazines (Hot Rod, Car Craft, PHR). I like them all. Car Craft seems to be Chevy centric. PHR seems to make an effort to put at least one Mopar in each issue (not sure about lately, but that's how it was back in the day). I think one of the editors for Hot Rod...

Great pics!

One of their best songs ever.

I'm a huge Maiden fan. I learned to play Bass the way I do by watching Steve Harris. Iron Maiden Wasted Years - YouTube Iron Maiden - Can I Play With Madness - YouTube

Man, I love all these bands. Here's my favorite from Testament. I this is one of Skolnick's best solo's. Testament-Practice what you Preach - YouTube

What size lift and tires do you have on it?

Awesome! I see your navigator knows her stuff!
