holy crap... i could go on and on....

78 Gremlin-X
72 Gremlin ... with 304 Police Elimiator and 3spd (wow!)
76 MGB .. still have it... in peices
82 Dodge Rampage
88 Nissan Sentra
87 Olds Cutlass
93 Geo Metro 4dr... ( i miss this one)
96 Jeep Cherokee (never shoulda sold it)
98 Corolla
76 Chevy truck
96 Caravan
73 Jeep CJ5 - (the first "real" Jeep i had... never shoula sold it, but needed $$$)
88 BMW 325
97 Grand Voyager
98 Jeep Gran Cherokee (still got it)
04 Tahoe (still got it)
90 Geo Tracker (still got it)
92 Honda Civic (modded to the max... )
07 Jeep JK Unlimited Rubicon (still got it)

Before I bought the Rubi, I considered the FJ and the H3. I ruled out the H3 after seeing the powertrain. The FJ... I looked long and hard, but the IFS was the hard point for me. I had the Tracker, and it has IFS... and it isn't the best for offroad. when they released the fianl details of the JK, i waited to see one in person and actually drive it. i'm glad i got the JK. the FJ was still #2 on my list.

i'm hoping to convince the wife that her next car is going to be a Challenger SRT-8... but i doubt i can convince her.
'07 Unlimited Rubicon.. aaaalllll black, baby!

yea... i tend to be drawn to the vehicles that others dont like. the 78 had the 258 in it. the 72 was a land rocket. my brother destroyed it, though. in the same line of thought, was the Rampage. its sort of a bastard vehicle. noone makes anything for it. it would bolt to the front half of a Dodge Omni 0-24, though... it would fit fine since thats what it was designed off of. i think the only car i've ever had i was happy to see go was the Corrola. We only had it a year.... and not really a problem out of it. i hated it though.

there's a guy here in town that has an old Gremlin sitting behind his house. i keep trying to convince myself to see if they want to let go if it... but i'm essentially broke right now, so there isn't much I could offer em for it except cleaning that spot out of their yard.  >:(

my question is what would you do with it?

find myself another 304... maybe a 360.... prime it and call it a sleeper. ;)

the '72 i had ate up a 289 Mustang. ofcourse it helped that the driver thought he was picking on a 6 cylinder. that was a super fast car. mostly pre-emissions, so it was pretty decent. I'd like to have something like it again. i have an eye for the obscure. :D
