Nothing wrong with the car that I know of, I just decided not to buy a second car right now. I’ll be taking on my friends old truck as a project in the next little while, so I shouldn’t also get an RX-7. Until I get a raise, and/or more parking space. Also, because I’m too ADD when it comes to buying cars. For example, today I want this.

That’s not an RX-7 at all. I still kind of want the RX-7, but I think I should keep the fun car slot open for an E30 or an E28. Or an old Volvo if a good one ever shows up.

Also this..... Getting it to pass inspection might be too much of a bitch though.

Wait, so is this actual truck yours now? I’m confused.

No, I’m buying a different truck from my friend. Those are just a couple Craigslist Suburbans that I want. I’ll try and un-kinja the links

The ’88 “needs a VIN”. What, it doesn’t have one?

Any details on said truck?

“low km” on that ’93, but I bet that odometer reads in miles. (The speedometer’s primary numbers are in MPH.)

It’s still low MILES for the year, but I’m just saying: caveat emptor.

I think he means VI, which isn’t the right term, but an out-of-province inspection is essentially the same as a VI. If it’s Quebec plated, and has some rust, it’ll be tricky to get it to pass.

A 1989 Dodge Raider, 2.6, 5 speed. Either has a cracked head or needs a head gasket, but it’s not rusty. I’ll be picking it up from just outside Enderby once the transfer papers make it back from Italy.

Ohh good catch

Ah, that makes sense. Yeah, the rust sure begs for a closer look. It’s already had to have the brake lines replaced.

Although, 223k kms is still low, relatively. Most GMT400s are well over 300k, some over 400k

BTW, yes, trucks of that vintage were available with km dashboards:

Are you in Kamloops or north burnaby I can’t recall. If I bring my mustang do you want to ride around in it? 4.6L V8. Red convertible. Cop magnet. Girl Magnet. I’m soon to be married though, so girl magnet is not useful for me.

Yep, still low. My ’95 Sierra’s getting close to 300k (miles).

I’m in north Burnaby. Girl magnets aren’t exactly what I’m looking for either, I’ve been living with my girlfriend almost 2 years now. I appreciate the offer though, I don’t have any Mustang experience. I usually just look for American trucks, and then German cars :p Are you in the valley? I can’t remember either

If I were to get a pickup, it would very likely be a GMT400

I guess my 00 Escalade is still a baby then. It only has 163k (miles), although it leaks like something that has a lot more.

I like the look of the squarebodies a lot, but the GMT400 is definitely a more refined design. Really clean.

Haha it’s just being stored at his dad’s farm by Enderby, and he currently lives in Italy. The story will be trying to limp it home

I’m telling him that since CVSE doesn’t give much of a fuck about privately owned light trucks in Vancouver, he should get cutouts.
