I roll around in a (rather beat up) mercedes 300e, but I want to "fix" my 96 firebird with a dead engine. I'm thinking if I get the money I'll either convert to a BIG electric engine or try to turn it rotary. (either one would be funny as hell)

It'd be nice if I could afford to redo the suspension on the cedes too...maybe find a way to switch to more tuneable fuel injection and reduce that throttle lag a little.

Why in the world would you put a rotary in an F-body? Toss an LS7 in that one.

ohh ya, i like my cars, i currently drive a Subaru Impreza Sport Wagon (not the wrx) and i love it, @ 35 i have owned way to many cars, among my faves, 1959 Nash Metro (the car i learned to drive in), 1977 Fiat X-19 (FIAT: Failed Italian Attempt at Technology, no offience to Italians, but have you ever driven a Fiat?), 1967 VW Carmen Ghia, and my very favorite, 1996 Honda Del Sol Si.

yes, i like small cars :pervy: and I only care about going fast in the canyons & mountains...

Man you always have great pics Charged!:thumbs:

Yeah...1969 was the best year of all for just about all the car companies IMO...except for the 70-74 E-body Mopars:D

Thats when they all had the nice body lines and the power to back it up. Most everything now days just looks like one of those rubber sanding blocks with wheels and you cant tell then apart without looking for an emblem. And before you young guys flame me I did say "most"...there are a few newer models out there looking pretty sharp. Of course the the generation before me would say it was the 50's cars styling that was the best.:rolleyes::D

Keep the pics rolling here people....:p

Sweeeet Fritchard...man, I really gotta get a better camera or learn how to take pics.:oops:

I would love to do a road vid but unfortunately my Cuda has not been tagged for about 10 years.:(:(:( Even though the computer will compensate through timing regular fuel I dont like to run it like that with 11:1 compression and we all know the situation with Hi-octane$$$$.

Bottom Pic.....Hey! Where did all these extra parts come from!! :shock:

But what do you drive Wed, Thu and Friday domino? You need 3 more cars!!

I KNOW! Still on the search...;)

The Reatta is strictly a 'summer car', the Escape is the 'everyday', the other half usually drives the Navigator, (at 5'3", I need a bit of a parachute) and we both drive the BMW if we're wearing high heels. (Alright, alright, I'm the ONLY one that wears the heels..)

Before my daughter was born, I drove an Ambulance. They even PAID me for it! Sometimes, I must admit, I forget I don't HAVE lights and siren anymore.

Damn I miss them..
