This is me.

I've been debating upgrading my Truck for 4-5 years now, every 4 months or so. Hasn't happened yet. Maybe a jeep this summer though!

I've done plugs on a '97 LS1 Camaro, not quite an 8 hour job but definitely harder than it has to be. Still nothing compared to the 5.4L Ford V8 Triton.

Whatever I get will spend it's first winter with the engine out anyway
Either a '97 LT1 Camaro or a '98 LS1 Camaro.

The LT1 spark plugs were awful with the factory log manifolds. Headers made them a lot less craptacular to work on.

^You're right it was a '98. Z28. I always get confused because his other car is a '97 and I forget which is what.

What happened to the other thread? I'm assuming there was a reason it was pulled down? Might not be best to start another then right?

Either the Roman numeral discussion got too heated or there wasn't nearly enough use of "allegedly" in that thread.

I drive a 1967 Cadillac, El Dorado convertible
Hot pink with whaleskin hub caps and all leather cow interior
And big brown baby seal eyes for headlights.
I like to drive around in that baby at 115 mph, but it only gets one mile per gallon.

One of these days I just need to have the money, one of my clients decided paying people was optional.

Next time I have the money I'm taking the plunge regardless.

Just bought this out of Denver and drove it up a few weeks ago.



1996 Lexus LX450 (same as the Toyota Landcruiser). 4X4 guys will appreciate what it is......

Also have a 2011 VW Touareg and a 2013 Tundra.

Currently working on (sort of) a 1968 Toyota Landcruiser FJ 40. Just dropped a Pontiac 460 into it (no pics tho)

Nope. All original. It came out of Texas so there's no rust on it.

It won't pass the inspection yet, still have to do wipers, Ebrake and a few odds and ends, but it's going to be hilarious when I finish. The engine is a rebuilt stock car engine with over 400hp.

Might need a few jerry cans on the back for fuel

Nice 80!

I've drive a hundy and will have to get a photo or two up. Very capable vehicles.

There is a great toyota 4wd club locally - join up if you'd like to get it dirty. (www.ct4wd.com)
