New old guy--new pics of niceish car=more +rep por favor


Recommended Posts

Hi, my name is Josh and I have been a member of CR for about 7 years(almost made it). I currently live in Savannah, GA because I was active army stationed at Ft. Stewart. I joined the Ohio National Guard so I could come back home and go to school for free. I got banned bc of what I said about people flamming my brother in his newbie post. I dunno if many people have met me because I've been away for about the last 4 years. I went to one meet in March or April this year with the Escort. I stood out bc I was the only guy in flip flops in 45 degree weather(I'd just drove from GA).

 

I drive a 94 Ford Escort lx with a home-made intake(cone on factory piping) and a pace setter exhaust bc it was only $40 more then factory replacement. This car sucks but got me 38mpg on the way to my first drill and costs nothing to repair so it stays no matter what anyone says about it...Or until the frame rusts through.

I posted this pic so it'd be easier to look at my car. If you even notice it...:(

I also have a 94 Jeep Wrangler. Its my wifes but I traded my bike for it so its hard for me to accept its hers. Might recognize the Jeep I got it from a guy on the board...the pic is $500 after fun money spent and $3000 spent on repairs after I got it. I need to thank him for a well maintained truck....:asshole:

Any Jeep guy that wants to give me pointers feel free...Im still learning about them. Summer 2010 me and bro are going to Rhinoline body if its in the budget so I'd like some input there bc I am just sort of whingin' it. Thanks

 

PS Don't ban

Im getting a hell of a deal on it so I couldn't resist. You'll see it in August if I get my bonus this month.

Cant pm yet. Thanks, when we do the project i'll supply the beer and food but we'll need at least 4 guys to lift the body off from what i hear so i'll probably try to recruit someone other then my bro and steve. Thanks

 

And for some reason it says i only have one rep point from 04sr. I see yours but its grey so doesn't count i guess? Here's a pic of 240 I am going to TRY my hardest to buy if army allows it in time. Oh and Jeremy you see the houses in the backround? Told you his parents were baller...he's sellin cus he's getting the boot from his madre...haha

Come on...how do I only have one rep point when 90 people have viewed this? It's a good intro with good pics...just shitty cars is all. Better then a sweet car with no pics though....maybe.

 

Fine. I am such a fucking nice person.

 

+rep for not being a douchebag...and I like your Jeep. Just ditch the tube bumpers.

I saw the Viper in the first picture and I was DAMMMM!

Then he said he had an Escort and a mountain bike and it reminded me of my 1989 1/2 Ford Escort GT. I thought I erased that car deep from my memory banks and now he's brought it back with a full force!

 

Props to you for rockin the escort - may it never die on you on the road while you're on a date and force you to take the loser cruiser (bus) embarrasingly back home.

It died on me in SC once on my way back to GA from ohio. Alternator was goin out so had to make the trip in 4th, let my buddy drive and he didn't know and kaput. Did a nator w/ a 12.99 socket set and cell phone flash light in the rain...I dont think i've said F*ck so many times in my life. Needless to say we made it same day.

 

Honestly w/ the way the economy is i think ford should bring them back. They could probably rerelease this style for like 6999.99 Brand new and it gets good gas mileage and is cheap to fix. Thats what they're looking for in Hybrids -easy to fix right??? And its not any uglier then the EcoBoxes they sell now like the Cube. And as far as space, I fit 4 265/75/16 Jeep wheels in there. Best beater ever if you ask me.

 

FYI-Dude that owns that viper is at most 3 years older then me. Dunno if he scored a sugar-mama or what but he did something right. Or is in debt past his eyeballs

And here is a pic of my old 240's red top next to new ones black top. Swap is a little cleaner on the new one I think.
