  1. get the original Mini!!
  2. as for this idea....they're gonna need a REALLY big transport, the Herc ain't big enough....
  3. Whose Idea was it to put F-15 wings on a F-14? anyways, that last pic with the VG wing F-35 is a neat idea.
  4. it was funny seeing the girls do the "up yours" motion, lol.
  5. too freaky.
  6. If I could make the trek out to Nevada, I would try to run in the 90mph class, since it doesnt require a 'cage and all (I know one is a good idea, but I do 90 daily on the interstate to and from school)
  7. I say we call it the "Q"-box!!!
  8. NASCAR's getting boring, how bout them open road races being held in Nevada this year?
  9. I can think of a few older cars that can be had for $15k that could beat a lot of new vehicles
  10. find one of the T-bird Turbo coupes, there's your power with MPG...
  11. Rub it in, why don't you? No, here in Manitoba we have this thing called "winter" where it gets really snowy, cold and generally unpleasant. Fortunately, this year I finally had a second car to drive while my Mustang rested peacefully underneath 2' of snow, and I had room to park them both. Now that spring is here I can finally get it back on the road. The down side is that its going straight to the body shop to get the driver's side floor replaced. yeah, you and your poor T-bird....what are you doing with that thing anyway?
  12. as for the rich Corinthian leather, 'fraid that option was offered only on the Cordobas, not a base-model LeBaron. as for the LeBaron...as soon as I pay it off, it's getting sold while I prepare to buy a '68-'70 Charger or Roadrunner/Satellite, for I plan on having a winged Mopar here in about two or three years!
  13. (shameless bump) even though my LeBaron looks like a brick and has the aerodynamics thereof, it has three things, character, I can stuff any Chrysler V8 into it, and most important of all, potential!
  14. or they could do the smart thing and take it to PM's instead of using the public forum....either way, M-head is making himself sound more and more stupid with every single post.
  15. (ok, so who the heck brought this thread back??) I'm Lightning 06 on every single forum I go to, or on Xbox Live for that matter, and whenever I get an updated PC for once, on Halo 2 for PC I'll be this name as well. Nice to keep things simple, isnt it?
  16. My '77 LeBaron looks better than the 350Z
  17. nice! LOL, that pic is great!
  18. sounds like my buddie with his 396 and a 6/71 charger on it,,,,,PUT SOME DAMN TIRES ON THAT THING,,, instead of replacing the 14" wheels (1970 Chevelle) he decided to put a roll cage in it to keep the factory wheels,,, nothing is more dangerous then factory suspension and wheel tire combo with high HP numbers,, ,exactlly like my other freinds 69 rs/ss 600+hp smal block 4 speed, went for a ride one day,, hitting second gear, the car jumped across 2 lanes,, been trying to talk him into traction bars, ,,,,but they look ugly hanging down,,, better then recking a 35,000mile car Or that "one" incedent,, was at a car show ya know guys doing burnouts and such leaving,,, well some crackhead in a tubbed (not done right(leafs)) late 70's z lost control and hit a 1970 LS6 car,,, the car was recentlly frame off right down to the wide ovals I just hate when people put 500+hp engine in and dont update the rest of the car I swear thiers a junkyard around here that has 10 twisted Fox body mustangs Just make it safe man, traction bars are ugly, but twisting the axle soo much that your switching lanes is uglier there's other alternatives besides traction bars, there's ladder bars and a 4-link setup. anybody check out this month's Hot Rod? It had Big Red II on the cover.
  19. Cage would be kinda neat for that role... maybe a orgin story for GR?
  20. Interesting....wonder why Bsu went thru the trouble?
  21. You can pilot the Longbow in the Mechwarrior 3: Mercenaries game, It kicks ass if used right.
  22. So what would a Variable Phalanx, Tomahawk, or N-Ger look like/turn into? I say the N-Ger would turn into a Tow Truck with the upper gun being the boom on the truck, how bout u guys?
  23. what about the 428 S.O. smoke a Hemi too bad they discontinued the 427 engines from the Thunderbolts and Cyclones,,, prolly wouldve bent a mustang in 2 the 440's a better engine for a few reasons: 1) affordability 2) tuneability (It came from the factory running better than the Hemi) 3) TORQUE!!! 4) even though it was a little short on the HP compared to the Hemi, a 440 Roadrunner could beat a Hemi Roadrunner out of the factory 5) 440's lighter than the Hemi. so as much of a moparite as I am, the 427 Side Oiler could keep up with or possibly pass the Hemi, but if both cars were tuned (not modified, tuned) the Hemi would beat it.
  24. Funny thing about the Charger in Bullit is that the same Charger was used throughout the entire chase scene. On the other hand, the production crew went through a handful of Mustangs because they kept breaking down. actually, only 2 Chargers and 2 Mustangs were used in Bullitt, they broke one of each and had to actually detune the Charger so the Mustang could *beat* it.\ btw, wheelspin going up a hill is no big deal, nearly every car can do it, even a Bug if the driver does it right.
