Car collecting for budget minded car nuts.

[mangle]

I currently have three that satisfy most of my needs.

First is the 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has now been relegated to a ski rig/awful weather beater. The 249 transfer case is a pain in the ass, and the 5.2L 8 sucks down gas, but it works really really well in snow.

Second is a 99 M3. It does most things very well. I have stiffened the suspension significantly for autocross and track use, but I've never had anyone complain about the ride.



Third is my baby, a 94 Dodge Viper. This thing is more crude than you can imagine. It has no AC, windows, roof, power anything, or exterior door handles. It does have an 8L V-10, obscene amounts of rubber, and a T-56 6-speed. I didn't appreciate how hard it has been trying to kill me until I bought the M3. It's that much more frightening now that I kinda know what I'm doing driving.



I'm not sure what the next toy might be. Well, I know what it would be in each class of how-much-money-I-have-to-blow. Just gotta find the dollars.

Nice mallards.



What age? Things like the 2002 - where the owner's manual included a wiring diagram for the car and there's plenty of room, or most other BMWs/Benzs before the 80s (sedans of the age with a slushbox included push starting instructions for the slushy) are a different beast than the 80s and later critters.

Another bucket project is to make a rote sau replica/big benz rally car. A benz with a honking V8.

Thought I would bump this thread. I did some work on a couple of my cars this weekend. Fixed the sunroof on the bimmer, painted the wheels, and swapped out the ski rack for a second bike tray.
Cruiser got a new front wheel bearing.
Mr2 doesn't seem to need anything except some open road and the radar detector.





And this for sale in SLC for $3300? I'm lucky I don't have more garage space, cause I want to s52 swap one of these suckers.

That’s awesome m27! This and the Tracker are an incredibly unique two car garage!

I had to go into the DMV with a spread sheet because I messed up my plate stickers and couldn't figure out which cars had expired tags. Yada yada... one of my entities qualifies for fleet plates in Colorado so I don't have to get stickers anymore for those cars. You pick a month(well they make you pick 3 and they pick) and all your plates are due in that month.You get red letter plates but its so worth it.
