My 64' Corvette. I have some other cars you guys may be interested in, but I don't have many pictures of them so I won't mention them for now.

I hope you store it in a garage or at least cover it.

It's in storage right now, actually. It's always covered or protected in some way.

Funny you mention your EGR valve as mine I think is having issues as well on my Malibu. It used to go on super intermittently, the check engine light would. It would come on during one of my delivery shifts and would stay on for the night but would be off in the morning. Would be on before I got gas and turn off ten minutes later. Then it went a week and a half where it didn't turn on, came on for a drive, and then it's been off ever since.

It made my car run kinda weird. It would sputter a bit when giving her enough gas to maintain speed, particularly at highway speeds, much less noticeable with city driving. I got a quote to get it replaced at my work and it was like $215 or so. But it's been running like nothings wrong lately and I haven't seen the light in a while.

Kinda weird.

Man I hope it's not expensive. I'm looking up stuff now, I might go out and see if I can look at it later.

Also, what do you guys think of the Dodge Barracuda concept? It has been said to be an idea to eventually replace the Challenger.





it looks like a hotwheel

It's just a rumor, it may or may not happen.

that looks dumb
You loving what?

OT: If only we had police vehicles like this one out on the streets.


it'd be nice if dodge made a car that looked different from everything else they make

Why? So the criminal can brake check them and crush them?



I GOT THE CAMRY! this is 3 days late, i got it monday night for 500 of my own dollars, im proud of that. it is white over gold with black bumpers?
(ill get a real pic of it tommorow)


It is a 5spd manual, and after 3 days of struggling and failing a lot id say im proficient enough at manual to drive confidently im a really quick learner it seems

facts about it:

odo reads 284923 :P
engine rebuilt around 235000
new tires 3000 miles ago :D
the floor is solid but the rust on the rocker panels and the fenders is REALLY bad
the interior is well kept and smells like new
it has 1980's standard electric retracing seatbelts
the trunk holds itself up!
windshield cracked :C
bought the car, parked in the driveway and immeadiately ran and got a screwdriver to pry off the extremely gaudy hubcaps to reveal white painted steel wheels that are still bright
has an aftermarket cd player :C was hoping for original tape deck but it has an aux jack so that makes it up
cruise doesnt work but who really needs it
car never had AC
heat works :D
has folding rear seats for increased trunk space
came with original parcel shelf
paint came really clean after a simple wash really bright
has wooden cupholders bolted to the dash, they work really well
cue ball shifter :D

its a definent WIP, but im going to paint some things, maybe put a roof rack on and try to make a good 500$ profit off it in a few months (that is if i dont fry the trans before then)
