The mp9e tk1 with upgrades is a 3000+ dollar rc car
Inferno series 8 time ifmar off road world champion
A record so dominant it exceeds that of all other manufacturers combined

I am surprised at how much power my 1.6 200sx has with 209,000 miles on it
Maybe some one rebuilt it or something.

I had a grand am that i put over 450 thousand miles on the clock but
I did 3 total hopup rebuilds to its transplanted w41 ho quad 4

I should mention that i drove it like i just stole it all the time.
My grand am did not have a easy life
I was very hard on it.

Kamakiri (aka Tim) can probably give more accurate details.
I see no links at all in that post.

Possibly you are missing a browser plug in required to make them work or maybe you have an ad blocker installed?

I have never taken a car to a repair shop or a jiffy lube.
I have never had a car i own repaired by some one other than me.
I have taken sub assembly's such as cylinder heads to a machine shop
This is amazing. When you know that i have slight cerebral palsy and that i owned A american car with a quad four in it for 20 years.

Great little engine the quad four
I always drove my w41 ho quad four equipped grand am like i had just stole it

I am looking to buy a house but right now i rent a room in a house
I have done oil changes in my landladys driveway but she might not let
Me do any thing more complicated than that in her driveway.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong with my sx till i find a house.
I need to quit revin it up to 6900 rpm.

I repair everything myself including complex electronics plumbing etc

Took driver's ed in a brand spanking new Beretta, an '88? They had just come out. A couple months later some other kids were out on a drive and someone else ran a redlight and totalled it. Now, there is some fool riding around town in one with historic plates.

Daily driver is a 2001 Lincoln Town Car. 176,000 trouble free miles and still going strong. I'm often tempted to step up to a newer model, but I hate to get rid of it when it's still providing dependable service.....not to mention the fact that since it's a Lincoln, it's a nice comfortable car to drive.

Have a 1973 Ford LTD in the garage that's been in my family since new. 109,000 miles and the biggest thing ever done to it mechanically was a brake job.

You cant step up ! As you probably know Ford dont make that chassis anymore. Thats why I will keep my Crown Vic & Grand Marques til
the end then replace them with the same thing. Ford Panther chassis
was the last of the true economy family sedans that were safe &
comfortable. GM gave up in 1997............

Your right, Zeno. What I meant by "step up" was to an '09 or '10 model. The only thing I've noticed is that prices on those (with low miles) aren't dropping nearly as fast as they used to. I'd say it's because they are no longer being made, and there is still certainly a demand for them.

There are no other cars on the market today that (dollar-for-dollar) can touch them.

I HAD, for awhile, a 1951 Chevy 3800 TON Panel Wagon..4 on the floor, extra-extra-extra large pizza sized steering wheel..Think it hit all of 50-55 MPH top speed...Drifted horribly, you never knew quite what lane you were in.. 216 6 cylinder..Hard to believe people actually drove these things for a living...

Wow, never realized there were so many cool car owners here. I just have a 1991 Ford Tempo with the 2.3HSC and lethargic 3 speed and a 1993 Ford F150 with the mighty 300 six inline six and five speed.



They're both a bit high on the milage, and they're not much too look at, and eahc has their own set of quirks, but they're both paid for.

I'm hoping to add this 1991 Grand Marquis to the mix, alledgely with just 41K on the clock. I had an 85 and loved it.
