But an S4 with 700 sounds like fun to me and it's been a while since I over drove an AWD car And now you put modern tires on them and they are pretty good cars that won't kill you once the whistle kicks in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even southern ones rusted bad. Old Nissans always seemed to rot to hell. My bud had a Nissan hard body truck in high school thing had just as bad a rotted out frame as any tacoma but they never got the recalls like Toyota. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a hoot for a 16 year old to have a 600hp 1,000 pound hot rod, right?? I keep an eye out for a 08-09 Escalade we can harvest the motor and tranny out of.

I think I’d like the comforts of the later model stuff. I have driven big boxy heavy vehicles my whole life, I think I’d like to have a small sports car in the stable. I was even an Audi TT fan for a while! Neal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted April 3 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 3 Now this is moves me. Unfortunately, the pricing has gotten out of hand on the second gens. Could have bought something nice for $10-15k 10 years ago, now now they are $40k plus for good drivers. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like those, but actually like the Chevy rendition a little more. Especially 69-75. I think thats when the whole roof came off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are a "push my Ford" rather than "drive a Chev" kinda family. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
