Anyone have a pile of shit car they loved?

Jeep Wrangler, 2.5L 4 cylinder 5 speed. Learned to drive on it. Had 33 inch tires and NO LIFT. Even my backpack in the back would cause it scrape everything in the rear. When I did burnouts, the whole axle would bounce up and down. Was leaving a friends house one night and it was snowy so i was like what the hey and i side stepped it at around 5 and it slip into a pole. Drove it home with a bent leaf spring. The tire actually slammed into the fender ruining it. I bought it for 250$ and sold it a year later for 2500$ the shmuck blew the engine on the way home. Here it is with 31inch tires.


Couple months ago when I worked at Jiffy Lube, I was on craiglist and found an 87 Chevy Caprice with a 4.3L. Me and a buddy go to pick it up guy tells us he built the motor so loose it requires diesel oil! 15W-40! the he says the reason the front seat is broken is cause him and a whore were in the back. Guy is a big dude, proably 6ft 3 inch and 350lbs! Driving back it overheated 4 times but the radio worked. We brought it to work and did some serious roll backs and one tire fires.

My 74' Mazda Rotary pickup. Couldn't even idle on its own and it was bright yellow but burying the tach forever and flames flying out of the exhaust was just awesome.

What happened to it? Those trucks are VERY rare. Pourto Ricans like to put TT 13Bs in them or 3 or 4 (I forget how many they are) Rotor 20Bs.

Mine had a ported 13B. I ended up selling it to Jeff from Jeff's Automotive in Puyallup, Wa. This was years ago. I bet its still sitting on his lot somewhere, gaining value.

I had a base '92 Saturn SL I bought new - manual everything (including steering), but optioned with AC and a CD player (back before most cars had them). I drove that car for 230k miles with zero problems (just regular oil changes), and in the end (I gave it to a friend when I bought my e46) it still passed emissions and got over 40mpg on the highway while averaging 80mph. An awesome transportation applicance; too bad it was boring to drive.

81 celica hatchback

me and a few friends cut the roof off, i used my friends old beat mazda truck hood as a rear trunk lid, hammered it round and molded it to the shape w/fiberglass and bondo, and it opened reverse (like the hood of e30s) to hold 2 12"subs and a cheap big amp to warp our ears. and had the only cabrio toyota car ever.




i stuffed an ATC into the back of it, and took it to mexico, basically just abused it, with proper maintence it paid me back in hearts.

broke the oil pan (cuz i cut the springs soo low) and watched the oil pour out the bottle, through the motor, and onto the cement in mexico.


than drove it home. through the desert with the heat on high. g,f, crying cuz were all hungover, sunburned and now getting full heat (the vents melted btw)
it overheated, but kept on driving (must've been teh slick 50-= no joke)

car did die, but restarted 2 days later



took it to california,
went surfing, met a hottie (sky) and just had fun.
got a carpooling ticket (only 2- needed 3) and never had the money to pay it.

it handled great, and was very reliable. even after replacing all the bad parts w/junkyard untested ones.
drove it till my friend got out of jail, and gave it to him, so he could get to a job and pay me at least 200 for it (he always needed a new job). never did get a dime from him though

he drove over a few small trees w/it, and we re-welded the frame like 4 times to get it totally wrong. id did turn left very well after those new welds.:p

then he put on these realy wide (stupid wide) tires, got pulled over, and lost it due to no insurance, and lots of hitting and running into middle islands and tearing up the city brush.

that car however was blessed with life and fun.
the night stars, the low cabrio tearing up the streets, the girls always wanted to cruise with us, and that if we each chipped in 50 cents, we could drive for hours.


now i have another toyota, but its a 86 4x4 king cab and pretty awesome for only 1200 .
sofar im a toy-bmw fan.

a day doesnt go by where i dont think about this thing.




1987 Dodge Ram Charger 318 auto
Best 300 dollars i ever spent. I beat the living SHIT out of this thing, and it loved it. i drove 15 minutes home once with no oil in it. I just didnt care. i had to add a quart every other day, so i traded it for this. (biggest mistake of my life, i miss the ram)




1987 Honda Civic DX Hatch
this thing was actually pretty sweet, but at the time i really wanted to focus on my E30 so i sold it to fund some parts. it had like 45k original miles on it, no rust (you KNOW how these things loved rust), shaved trim, and 16x8 slipstreams. it had a 4 speed manual and it would grind 2nd, 3rd and most of the time 4th. I sold it to a lesbian for 600 dollars. I got it for free.
