yes, the lust...it nourishes me.

you can find an old beat up vehicle at a junkyard, and as long as the engine is still in good shape, and there isn't too much rust (complete sections missing or rusted away) you could probably fix it all up for under 5,000$ , the engine for my vehicle if it were bought brand new would be over 8,000$. Currently I have only 43,565 miles in my vehicle, from the original motor. I have two nova's btw, a 76 and a 72. I've been pouring money into these cars monthly for the last 2 years. it's only been recently that i have pretty much finished everything. I plan on keeping my car for 10+yrs, and selling it when it become as classic as the 50's and 60's cars. the car displayed was bought for 250$ originally, and i have put approx. 4000$ into it. this car was literally a rust bucket when i first started with it.

I love seeing these cars brought back from the brink.

Hey guys, wow, those are some nice cars you have there. Matt, I don't see the picture for your car though. I have a Honda Accord 2 door coupe with a Manuel Trannie. Yay big whoop I know. I'm gonna keep that for my work car in the winter and am seriously considering either a Mustang, Challenger, Camaro or GTO. I love the retro styling and the getting back to muscle cars by the American manufactures. I've read that the Camaro is going to get 30/mpg highway too!! So do I need 300, 400 or 500 horses?

PS a good friend of mine is really into the old muscle cars. He's got a Cuda, a RoadRunner and a 1969 Corvette. They are all highly modified and the Roadrunner puts out over 600 hp. Too bad it doesn't all get to the rear wheels.

here's picture of a car just like mine.

BigWig, is that the 2006 Civic? Those are amazing cars--feel like a whole new generation, and their ride is comparable to that of cars a whole class higher. I test drove an EX, which was nice, but not nice enough to make me want to trade in my Acura (I'm getting old, so ride and room is starting to matter to me!); then I drove the SI--holy crap, what a little ROCKET: quick, quick, quick, and almost no roll in tight turns. A truly amazing car.

BigwigKEA · « **Reply #22 on:** January 20, 2006, 06:43:29 AM »

Yeah it's a 2006 Civic. It's really the first I'm impressed with a civic. I can't think of any car that would compete with this one for the price. It's also great on gas...which was a huge plus for me as I drive a lot.

The interior looks so cool also.

Svet[SIR] · « **Reply #23 on:** January 20, 2006, 08:03:15 AM »

Hey Bigwig, those Civics are very nice cars. One is hard pressed to beat a Honda when it comes to reliablility. Do you have one of the hybrid models? Matt, I still don't see your picture.

BigwigKEA · « **Reply #24 on:** January 20, 2006, 10:30:34 AM »

No, I don't have the hybrid model. It takes less gas but for 10 000$ difference it takes a while to get that money back. Especially since the consumption difference is really not that big.
