Well, someone asked me why i hadnt put one of my cars up on my garage, so i figured i should take 30 minutes and add some cars to it.

So now, it has NEARLY MOST of my current fleet uploaded! All the ones you need to know about, anyway. Short summaries and stuff, too.

Heheh, oddly enough i have occasionally picked up the front of the cars with the hoist, but in that photo its holding up an engine/tranny. In all these k-cars i put the engine/trans in together from the bottom and lift up into place. After trying a variety of methods ive decided its the best/easiest way.

The Plymouth is a rebadged Mitsubishi, through and through. Think of the Plymouth badge as an extremely rare trim level.

And for the record, i am a BIG mazda fan. I just never seem to hold onto any. My fiancee bought the 3 years before we met. I personally would NEVER have paid good money to bolt a 2.0/4spd auto drivetrain into that platform.

It makes me very sad to see you don't own a honda product. Therefore you'll never know longevity with cars.

Do you mean something like getting 250,000 miles out of a stock, turbo'd drivetrain?

Kinda like an Aries?

Highest mileage original everything car i ever owned was 314,000 on a 95 3.4L Firebird.. aint that weird?? Bought it for $400, flipped it for $1200, and made another $1000 working on it for the next guy

Ive also owned several cars in the 260k region. 4 at least.

Ive owned 4 honda accords, only fixed and drove one of them. It was a decent car. I sold it and then beat it in a street race with my bone stock autotragic Dodge Avenger. I ended up making that car pretty but lost it to a failed relationship before i got around to making it fast.

Thats one reason why i havent modded the Mazda3 in the last 2 years. However, now we're engaged and its starting to trickle.. RX8 wheels and later tails are already in hand..

Well, i got to personally check out a turbo'd 2.0/auto mazda3 and the gears are now turning. Honestly, i think buying weld els is the first step...

Also, i bought another car!

1993 Dodge Colt ELECTRIC CAR.

Its a conversion, done long ago but with a pretty awesome motor setup. Currently lacks batteries but i've already picked up one prius pack and intend to buy more. Check out a pic and brief info in my garage.
