Cars and car troubles

[Turk]

I drive a POS Subaru that runs well, but is dirty. I manage car upkeep expenses thanks to an old friend (from high school!), who is a pretty good mechanic. Whenever I have an issue, I buy the parts and pay him maybe $100/day and he gets me on the road again. He doesn't work as a mechanic, it's more of a hobby for him. Having an affordable way to fix my car is important as I am underemployed, and have been for some time.

Im not buying that Nowwhat. If memory serves your driving your neighbors car at the moment. Lol

Arrogant Penguin what with the butterflies or something more manly

I'm guessing your vehicle is sold only in Australia. It's funny how you folks get some really neat vehicles, but we can't. Anyway, I did some looking and came across this. I don't know if it will help, but perhaps you could post and find an answer:

The closest is American Choppers, but I dislike the melodrama and discord, so I quit watching it.

Yep...when the show steered away from the bikes and onto the cast...who frankly were never that interesting whether they argued incessantly or not.

I found this article which may be interesting, it is a has rarity written all over it.
I have already shown Sportster.

yeah it's so unfair isn't it. You had to work your way up,
now they get it handed to them. But it is good to see girls
driving cars like that though.

You guys ever see a Lingenfelter Corvette? They take contemporary Vettes and turn them into yesteryear models. Bodies that have the classic look on the outside, but interiors and overall size that are based strictly on current models.

I like the first one, the second one looks of mixed heritage.
