What car do you drive?

Off topic, but don't go too far overboard - after all, we are watching...heh.

2002 Cavalier...savor the irony, I used cavalier as a screen name for the last 5 years or so. Should have chosen Ferrari as screen name, I don't know what I was thinking.

I suggested the same thing to Bossman via AIM. Nothing like a little 'beer pressure' amongst friends. :beer:

96 Saleen, but engine is blown again. So, I'm stuck driving my 95 Toyota 4Runner. Saleen has 36k miles - $12k in repairs so far. 4Runner has 137k miles - $197 to repair hydraulic clutch so far, knock on wood.

Nice. That ought to be standard on a ride like that, though. Why wouldn't someone want the very best sound system? :beer:

If one can't afford the best sound, one can't afford the car.

Good looking car. At what point does the lemon law come into effect though? I've seen a couple people return cars with much less than $12K invested in repairs. What engine do you have in it?

390 on a chassis dyno, so maybe around 470-480 at the flywheel. Forged piston and rods. Stock crank, guy who rebuilt engine says that they haven't broken one yet. Stock 4.6 gets around 170hp on chassis dyno.
