Year limited knowledge on my part. Last time a girl asked if I'd be interested in a 69 I told her I only do 63's. LMAO

In the past we bought a 2005 Honda Element EX 5-speed new ... that was a GREAT little car, AWD and did VERY well in the snow. That had to go to buy the house..... Now we are getting back on our feet, the time was right. She wanted the 2-door Scion, the 'PaulWalker/VinDiesel' model, but it just wasn't practical. This one has 4-doors, and a rear hatch....seats fold forward with a push of a button. She's doing PSE for Lowes, so she travels everywhere with product/samples, so this was the better choice .... Glad she loves the manual trannys too, not too many women do .... Anyone wanna talk about my new F#rd tow rig ??

This looks like a horrible idea as the winch can twist? - Loaded up behind awesome new towrig ... (I know, I know... ) [/quote]Hmm, maybe Ninth gen 97 F250 or up? I would love to! I am a ford guy who got a little lost. I love Ford, Ford is my favorite! But for the size/looks Ford does not really have a good equivalent to the suburban so I figured I'd venture out and see what fun I can have(still have my Fords) as I am not one of those A-holes who truly thinks anything other than his brand is crap. But Ford will always be my home base. |

Re: '62 GMC Suburban "Rust"oration, Patina Build.....
Not much on the Burban ....
However, I decided to attack my DOOM buggy project as it is the closest to being completed. I figured finish that first, and get one project done at a time, instead of attempting to complete all at once .... never happen with my work load. VW chassis almost ready to go to powder (so nice to have a HookUp on powder coating...right next door to my shop) Look for updates soon..... Posted via my nice GS4 Mobile Device
