Definitely! I was actually just talking to him about Jeeps. I think you've given me the off road bug. When my beater car dies I'm considering picking up a used Wrangler...

First car i bought, was a Red 1989 Mustang GT, blew that motor up, inherited a few cars, bought a 2001 Honda Prelude, realized that it had no torque or hp, then got the Stang back and built it up

My first car I bought as a 1990 S-10 Blazer 2 door, 2wd, 4.3L V6. Bought it whe I was 14, and did a lot of work to it by the time I was 16. Shaved door handles, painted it Black Cherry, limo tint, lowered, new wheels, tires, huge stereo, exhaust, everything. Sad part is, I cant find one picture of it anywhere, sad too because I really miss that truck. I used to take it to stereo competitions and what not, park in the parking lot and I always had people taking pictures of it. But being 16/17 in a hot truck like that, I got too many tickets and too many sets of tires (burnous), I had to get rid of it. That truck is the reason I want a Typhoon so damn bad.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

My friend Jeff (Jeep) told me that was a major car party foul and made me by the 94 GT instead. What a good friend

1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, Red
I drove it until January of 2007 when the engine died. 249,000 miles - enough to get to the moon!

I bought a 1988 Mustang GT with an AOD back before I had the Cobra. When I bought it it had 189,000 miles and was comletely stock. I took it to LACR before I did anything to it and it ran a 15.89 at 87. That is what the magazines were reporting it ran when new. I didn't do much to it besides CAI, an offroad H-pipe, 3.55 gears and a new trans with a 2500 stall converter but it was a fun car. I sold it to a friend just before I bought the Cobra and it had over 250,000 miles on it. He drove it for a couple years without making any upgrades and then sold it with almost 280,000 miles on it and it still ran great. He did have to change the torque converter though because it went bad but that's all besides oil changes.

Most of it left my house after E-Bay auctions, some of it is still scattered about in my garage.
