I'm looking to get another car with my tax return (although I might just keep my Benz if Tim doesn't want it) but I'm having trouble deciding what I want. Some of these I have specific vehicles in mind, some are just general makes/ models I like that I'm sure I could get for my budget, anyway, onto the list

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

401 swapped AMC Gremlin
Volvo 240 wagon with a stick
Early 60s American Pickup
Old Mopar (probably a C Body, preferably a wagon, never shoulda sold mine)
'68-'72 Pontiac LeMans/Tempest

EDIT: Fuck, Peugeot 505, too.

I think there might have been others but I can't think of them right now. I'll add them if I think of them.

That's what I was thinking, just hard to find one in my range.

I found the perfect one that if it were price reasonably would be in my range but the guy selling it isn't the type to actually sell it for what it's worth. He usually has nutso prices, so I'm afraid to even ask.

I'd say late 60s American pickup but that's just me

I guess I wouldn't be opposed to that.

Too xenophobic.

Just to prove you aren't a racist.

I don't mind NA Miatas or FB/FC RX-7s. I just don't think that for my budget I'd find a Miata at all, and an FB/FC would be in terrifying condition.

Uh...240 you say?

If you don't have much travel restriction, www.autotempest.com and find yourself a good one.

That's the joke.

I say get the Volvo 240 and swap the engine for a big American V8. Then you can have both the American power and the cool old Volvo. Lots of people have swapped V8s into those Volvos and it's pretty straight forward, plus it's cool to have a unique project you put together

Yeah, I wanna lower one and make it look nice and put banded steelies on it so everyone on Oppo hates me.

But no seriously that's what I'd do with one.

I thought about getting another car with my taxes but decided to buy parts for the Miata instead.

That's another thing, I could buy FoST stuff.

I was looking at coilovers too!

Mine are just for a bit lowering and also better ride on the curves. And the stock ones are shot

You can't be "prejudice". Prejudice is the noun, prejudiceD is the adjective. As in, "anyone who doesn't like my fugly car must be prejudiced".

depending on your budget, I bet you could find a shop to do it at a reasonable price. I'm a little biased, I love Swedish cars and especially the idea of throwing some American muscle under the hood

I change my mind everyday, today what I want to do is fix the cars I have and have a shop do some of it so it can get done faster. That's the smartest idea really.
