TheBlubaru Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 My 05 stock for the most part F150 STX. It had 33s and an aftermarket grill and muffler. I miss that thing sometimes. I had a lot of fun with that thing but got sick of paying so much for gas. God created turbo lag to give V8s a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last car was a 1999 Volvo V70 R. Nice sleeper and I miss driving it. I've found that craigslist has some incredibly desperate people, whether you're buying a car that the person needs to be sold, or a specific model of car (my 2000 2.5rs) that people are really looking to buy. I might actually look into flipping this one for around 8500, but it blue books for around 8 grand even with the mileage, so If i start having problems i'll start looking into a late 90's LGT and build it;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 i overpay for all of my cars fml. i had a junky jeep that never ran, then i overpaid for a 2003 jetta GLI, traded it in and rolled $9000 onto my $18000 (not including the stupid fees) legacy. then i blew my tax money on a pos mk3 jetta and dumped $500 in it and i will sell it for half. i'll be back on track in about 4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i'm so incredibly thankful i've never had to deal with german engineering, my brother has a 2004 gti VR6, that has been a money pit. all my friends use me to post their CL ad's because i know how to word it without being dishonest, and highlighting the benefits. pm me if you need help with an ad!

Brett Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 i'm not using cl again. one and done. my vw could've been paid off, but i dumped $6,000 in it between repairs and some mods instead. then i just decided to trade it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARCruiser Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I put in a LQ9 6.0L with a Z06 top end, in front of a built 4L80e. I don't really have a problem with missing torque Haha, I bet that thing is a blast to go rock crawling with! Don't get me wrong, numbers-wise, the Vortec has nearly double the torque of the stock engine (especially since the stocker was at 320k), I just miss it all being in the 1200-1800 RPM range. Nothing some lower gears won't fix, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
