A 2006 Chevy cobalt. I figure if I buy an idiot proof reliable car I can worry about my bikes

Nice Powderman. I had a 1990 CRX I bought used around 1994, the mid version with an automatic, not the Si. It was a fun car and a great city car. I could park in spaces nobody else would fit in, which was part of why I bought it.

A few years before that I had a '74 Civic hatch with the non-CVCC engine. That was a really fun little car to own and drive.

I bought this one for $110 at a wrecker service auction. My buddy works there and I told him to do something to the car to prevent it from starting at the auction, no one wants a car that won't start because they know they will have to put a motor in it. My theory worked perfectly for me. This was a DX that had 282,000 miles on it, got 40mpg but had no balls at all. Gtech Pro dynoed at around 68hp. Ran like a slot car once it was wound up. Then I drove a Vtec CRX and immediately sought out a swap for it. I ran a CRX at a Nascar short track in a mini stock division and won the 2003 track championship. In 2004 Drift Atlanta came to Road Atlanta raceway right across the street from where I raced (Lanier Raceway, 3/8mile asphalt Nascar circle track). My track had a vendor booth at the Drift show and wanted my car on display promoting the division. As soon as I parked it at the booth on vendors row I immediately started hitting up all the vendors: "Hey my name is Marc, I'm the track Champion across the street with that car, what do you have I could use?" well picking up product sponsorship was a piece of cake when you're the champ. Exedy racing clutches, Midas strut, Wings West, full stainless exhaust, TenzoR wheels,etc. Unfortunately (or not) none of the parts I got could I run on the racecar because it had to be stock. So all the high performance stuff went into the street car. Car was originally black and I painted it white and built it from the ground up with all the sponsored parts, all I had to do was make sure I ran their stickers on the race car. I swapped in the B16 and was amazed at the difference. Lost 10mpg but gained over 100hp, now the car was really fun. I pulled in to get gas one day and went to set the trip odometer back and noticed I was at 299738, " I only need 262 miles to reach 300,000, I'll do it on this tank of gas". As I pulled out of the parking lot 1/10 of a mile later a Ford F250 traveling in the wrong lane put his front tow hook through the headlight, hood, valve cover and broke a cam plate. Knock the left motor mount off and pulled all the threads out of the block that hold that motor mount on. I figured by the time I pulled the engine and had the hole repaired I could easily just buy a B18, put my Vtec head on it and lower compression and more cubes, perfect for turbo application. I thank God the F250 sat so high and impact was above the frame and suspension so it was all salvageable. I haven't dynoed this set up yet but I'm guessing between 400-450hp. She will definitely get you in trouble on the street.

2001 Chevy S10 pick up was the shop truck on lease and when the lease was up I bought it . 4.3 v6 with a 5 gear and the longest legs possible in the rear end . 75 mph 23 mpg and it has leg room !!

Update: I didn't pull the Zook apart to find out why but holy s#!+ that thing sure did smoke. Must have broken a ring or a piston or maybe the block.

Got this here fine piece o' machinery to putt around - an '01 Forester like the one in the pic.

Love the cars and the song Dave. Makes me wish I had gotten into lincolns/caddys instead of utes.

There was a 69 suicide door conty vert for sale on craigslist a month ago with a perfect body and brand new hopped up 460 big block for a song. Just needed paint, interior, and a top. I would give up my ranchero for that in a heartbeat.

Bought a brand new 2012 VW Golf TDI last summer...love it!!....cashed in the old '97 Mazda Protege for $150.00 at the wreckers....after 13 years and 300,000 kms it definitely needed a break!

My babies.



Currently driving a 2011 Mustang. Previously owned that gorgeous '68 stang too. The lack of power steering in that baby really gave me quite the work out when I lived in the city..

You guys are so punny it "hearse."

But seriously, I don't know why people are so scared of hearses. Dead bodies ain't nothin. They don't usually smell, even the smelly ones, because they're already embalmed. Unless they used them to pick up the smelly ones from unattended deaths. But we don't do that here, we all use minivans because they can fit in the parking structures (sometimes as low as 6'6"), and maneuver in tight areas because it's so crowded here.

I mean I guess if you genuinely believe in ghosts and hauntings and #$%*, I'm sure they're rife with paranormal activity. But the only creatures I run into are electrical gremlins. And that one time a stray dog jumped in the back while we were inside the house and and I didn't realize it until it started licking my ear from behind me.

In this business they always say: "it's not the dead you have to worry about, it's the living."

Recently I saw this movie, and I've become infatuated with Hearses all over again. I've always wanted one since I was a little kid, but this rekindled my love for all funeral service vehicles. Especially flower cars since I love utes.

Harold and Maude is a great movie.
