Ok, you got me. It's actually a truck. I want one of these square body step sides bad. I'm also moving overseas soon, and a kid on the way, I need this about as much as a hole in the head, but I want it BAD!

God dammit roadkill. Spending all my paychecks for me. On the other hand, I don't think I could tow my 3,000lb MR2 with this almost 1,000mi in a month and a half without some major time put into getting it running reliably. Oh, and like 500lbs of gear...

You've got to do it.

i know right? Its not even an option! If he would take my low ball offer, I wouldn't know what to do if I couldn't tow my car with it...

Do it if not for the overseas move. You probably need cash to get something wherever you go.

U-Haul time!

I'm not sure I would be comfortable with those mismatched rimsmand tires towing 3,000lbs for 14 hours...

jkm7680 > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 19:53

Yup, yup. Bring a buddy, and drive it back.

unpredictable_swerve > jkm7680
09/13/2014 at 19:55

I only need one way, but my buddy that is going with me has his Z and nobody else could go. VA is a long drive from FL

My grandpa has an early 70s step-side Chevy that's a beauty. He's restored a couple vintage trucks (a 1936 Chevy and a little bit younger White Motor Company truck) and the step-side was his daily driver for years. He really took care of it. Think it's been sitting in a barn ever since they got a new crew-cab Silverado a few years ago.

Yeah, do that! If all else fails, you can just somehow find the money for shipping from wherever it breaks down.

this still doesn't help the fact I'm moving to Europe in a few months, I can only bring 1 car, I currently have 2. And my MR2 is not going anywhere.

Who doesn't want a C10 stepside?

unpredictable_swerve > ly2v8-Brian

i need that on my credit card.

Well, there's the image then.

unpredictable_swerve > jkm7680
09/13/2014 at 20:09

yup, when I get back to the states or decide to stay over there I'll be buying a diesel pickup and getting then wife something she likes, then hopefully rat rod muscle truck. I already have this "kernel panic" nerdy/military graphic idea in my head that's perfect for it.

jkm7680 > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 20:11

Where in Europe are you going to be?

Sounds like a nice plan though!

unpredictable_swerve > ly2v8-Brian

i can't, my credit Union doesn't do custom images, and most places won't let you use a copyrighted image...

Spain, its within driving range of the 'ring and has a ton of nude/topless beaches/where its rude NOT to stare... Plus, might get an Alfa GTV for a bit, Spanish back roads, running of the bulls, tomato festival, hot Spanish women, etc...

ly2v8-Brian > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 20:18

What a bunch of suck! My bank does have licensed and other custom choices, not sure if you can use your own though. Mine is the American flag, cuz FREEDOM.

jkm7680 > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 20:21

Where in Spain if you don't mind me asking?

My family has a house in Marbella!

unpredictable_swerve > ly2v8-Brian
09/13/2014 at 20:21

i would seriously do the fry one, but for flags I love the gadsen flag, just not the political connotation it carries now.

ly2v8-Brian > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 20:22

Agreed, fry is perfect for credit duty.

god damnit Cletus, you make some sense.

Rota. I'm in the Navy and we have a few new ships going there/went there.

ive looked for a sticker that would fit, can't find one.

jkm7680 > unpredictable_swerve

Nice, right on the other side of Gibraltar than the side where my family has a house.

I'm 0% Spanish, I might also add.

ly2v8-Brian > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 20:27

You can put a sticker on your card?

unpredictable_swerve > jkm7680
09/13/2014 at 20:27

same here haha. I don't even speak the language.

jkm7680 > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 20:29

Lol, me neither it's embarrassing for me.

There's some great roads out there though, Just don't drive in Gibraltar and avoid Morocco :]

unpredictable_swerve > jkm7680
09/13/2014 at 20:30

i was thinking northeast, up to maybe france

unpredictable_swerve > ly2v8-Brian
09/13/2014 at 20:31

i assume so, as long as it doesn't obscure the important stuff, like just a little one

jkm7680 > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 20:32

That would be a nice drive!

Another good thing is that the speed limit is around 75 on most major motorways, and the Guardia Civil doesn't really seem to pay much attention on desolate roads.

unpredictable_swerve > jkm7680
09/13/2014 at 20:33

speed limits do not apply to me! Silly mortal.

jkm7680 > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 20:34

Haha, me neither.

Speed limits only apply TOOOO THE WEAK.

unpredictable_swerve > jkm7680
09/13/2014 at 20:36

as soon as I have the cash, I'm placing a very large order to an mr2 specialist to get another 150whp, run e85, and full standalone, I am tired of being limited to 120mph...

jkm7680 > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 20:38

Haha, Nice. I just wish my A4 wasn't limited to 130, that was just cruel of them to do that.

If you buy a car while stationed over there, can you take it back to the States?

unpredictable_swerve > jkm7680
09/13/2014 at 20:43

its just the worst, 4k rpm, boost boost boost, cut. No power.

I think I could, but all the cars I really Want are old enough that there are a few in the states as it is or I could never afford the insurance premiums (V10TT RS6 Avant)

unpredictable_swerve > StingrayJake
09/13/2014 at 20:45

sounds like you and the granddad need to go on a nice trip eh?

jkm7680 > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 20:46

That would be awesome to get an Rs6 Avant, how about a Renault Clio V6 or something if you can find one?

Good luck with the Mr2 though!

unpredictable_swerve > Conan
09/13/2014 at 20:47

my MR2 is coming with me, and we are selling the wife's vibe. I do have a warehouse I could store the truck, but at that point I might as well but it when i get back... And I still want a decent st185 Celica alltrac, jza80 supra hardtop, and quite a few other Toyotas, figure I need to get a hot rod sometime though../

Conan > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 20:49

If you're going to be in awesome Japanese car land you know that now is not the time. With that said? Awesome truck. My teaching job has really made me reconsider C10s. They're consistently some of the best trucks I see my students have.

unpredictable_swerve > Conan
09/13/2014 at 20:55

i don't care for JDM cars so much as JDM parts for the USDM imports I like. If I had it my way, I would get probably 6 or 7 gen4 3S-GTE motors from Toyota Caldina station wagons, a king cab for a early 90's Hilux, the Carlos saintz edition Celica rally hood and bumper, and general rare parts for toyotas.

For C10s, when I watched the roadkill muscle truck episode I knew I would have to own one, someday. The patina on this one is perfect, it just needs a supercharger with shotgun scoop barely sticking out of the hood.

I think your wife would want to keep her vibe.

unpredictable_swerve > For Sweden
09/13/2014 at 21:00

if money wasn't an issue she would push it off the flight deck of a carrier. We both hate that car. She wants a WRX or BRZ as a daily, and an old school vette or 911 as a weekend car.

For Sweden > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 21:01

I'm sure that's what she tells you, but most women are very fond of their vibes.

I know a guy you could unload some of those Toyotas on (me!). I've gone two weeks without buying a car and I'm starting to get the itch!

StingrayJake > unpredictable_swerve
09/13/2014 at 21:08

Granddad and the farm are long drives in different directions. My brother lives closer to the farm and spends time out there occasionally. If I had a more cooperative job, I'd spend fall weekends up there hunting.

God damnit for Sweden, that's funny. Walked into that one

1993 Toyota MR2 turbo hardtop, turquoise pearl, 1 of 2

1993 Toyota Celica Alltrac hardtop, white

1993 Toyota Supra TT hardtop, any stock color

1992 Toyota pickup, JDM king cab, long bed, 1 ton dually axle.
