Give it an oil change & slap a "This Car Climbed Mt. Washington" bumpersticker on it?

200K is pretty good though. Try to make it to 300K?

I like your party at 200K idea.

I would like to,
with the salt they put on roads up here I always have a one more Winter philosophy,

it's 9 miles per trip to work and I come home for lunch
36 miles a day

it doesn't get driven a ton on weekends or other errands so it would take me 10 years to hit 200k
although i got to 200k in a total of 13 (used to drive a bit more, and use this for long trips)

Took my son to the Tutto Italiano car show in Boston last weekend. It was pretty cool.

We got there right when the Lambo area was filling in:

Also, my son got to sit in one of the Ferrari's there, because the owner was impressed that my son immediately knew what model it was:

That's pretty cool.

Happy anniversary to you and yours, hbomb!

That's pretty cool.

Happy anniversary to you and yours, hbomb!

thank you,
I am recruiting people for the party now
Trying to figure out who has logged the most miles in it with me.

not sure if I wanna try to hit a destination or if I want to just drive and party wherever I land




pretty sweet that the little dude got to sit in the Ferrari, nice to see car guys like that around

I tagged along in my Miata with a local Lotus car club drive that my dad organised last month. It was fun times, the Lotus were obviously not pushing it too hard on public roads, but I was pretty much full throttle and redlining every shift just to keep up.

Just got the call from the shop. Truck either needs two new cylinders and a new radiator, or an entirely new engine. Gear hits the B/S/T later today. Tryna figure out whether i want to sink more money into this truck, or just scrap it and buy a different one.

that flipping sucks
vehicles can drain your wallet so flipping fast


anyone know the year on this old chevy
it was my grandpas when I was a little kid

always wanted to try and track one down
no funds right now but want to do some research see what it would take

[Chankgeez]

Awesome Lotus gathering as always, Colin. Maybe you need a Lotus badge to stick on your Miata?

New engine? Ouch, I don't know what to tell you, PsychVamp.

Do you have any other photos of the truck, hbomb?

I'm no expert on Chevy pickups, but it looks like it's probably early to mid Seventies.

[Iommic Pope]

Yeah I would have said late 60s, early 70s.

[psychic vampire.]

Talked it over with the friend who helped me pay for the truck. It's either getting scrapped, or pawned onto someone who wants those problems (i.e. not me). Gonna figure out a new car soon.

I'm gonna need my Jeep Wrangler experts.... I have a raging boner for a 2014 Sahara Unlimited in like-new condition. 14k miles, never taken off road, and 15k worth of quality upgrades.

Pics coming soon....

[Jwar]

Nope don't do it. Hahahahaha

[excane]

Nope don't do it. Hahahahaha

I'm gonna take your Elrick off-roading with me in my new toy

[Chankgeez]

No idea about the Jeepage, sorry there, excane.

Don't worry, jwar, I've already found a replacement bass for you:
