DirtyComanche Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 The whole DD the 'manche thing just isn't working, between obliderating the rear D/S and the front R&P, and the whole quasi-street legal thing. And the cutlass is still a lawn ornament. Although, now it's a lawn ornament that I've sold for $100. Hopefully it'll be gone by the end of the week. So, what am I going to buy? An AMC Eagle of course :nuts: :nuts: :nuts: The good news is I've got lots of parts that will fit it. Oh, and it's only going to cost me $100. That and I can go 4x4ing when I get pissed off.

urbanMJ Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 YES you absolutely are playing with fire on this one but it's nearly justified by the cool vehicle choice why not get a beater j box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 There's actually one of 'em down at the junkyard right now (if you need anything let me know). I bit the bullet on my DD and decided to fix it (replace the head). Stopped by the shop yesterday after work and they just got the new head finished.....pressure tested, cleaned, and decked .005, and they got out the one thermostat housing bolt I snapped off (oopsey!)....all for $65 :D Toss in another $150 or so in miscellaneous parts and I'm into it a bit over $200. I'll pick it all up tonight and start putting it all back together. Still cheaper than having a car payment, IMHO. And I can start spending $$ on the MJ again.

87manche Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 the escort's good for another few years. Mine was golden mechanically, but the body was falling apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnQ Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I'm getting my comanche as my DD. :D Right now I am driving a 2005 Rubicon, sitting on 35's. Gas milage sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
