Show us them cars!

Wow Steve,
You obviously are not involved in youth ministry. I would show what a youth ministers minivan looks like on the inside, but you might have a stroke. BTW, we have a recovery program for people with issues such as yours :lol:

[sandalscout]

I think I went through that program, I USED to have CLEAN rides, but not so much anymore!

Steve, is that a Grand National? Doesn't look like it, but I don't know them much, they are sweet!

 

[Rat Rod]

The black one is an 87 Grand National and the maroon one is an 87 Turbo T. Exact same as a Grand National just different color and interior scheme.

I traded the 70 GS in the first photo for that maroon 87 Turbo T. The Turbo T had 45k original miles on it. I drove the GS to Jackson, MS and met the guy there and we made an even trade.

I ended up selling it to a guy up in Illinois who flew down and drove it home. Out of all of the cars I have owned, that's the one I miss the most. With such low miles it was very tight and in bone stock trim I ran a 13.02 at Ennis....and I went easy on my cars.

Ahh the memories.

 

[jtdaddy]

Steve. Im comin over and your goin to help me detail my little mazda 626 sometime... You do seem to have a clean freakyness about you after seeing those cars...
What's the garage like?

 

[Rat Rod]

Well, the garage was pretty clean until all of this bike junk showed up a while back...ha ha!

I am able to pull two cars in if that tells you anything.

It's nothing to brag about though....would love a painted floor and better storage.

We can all dream... :roll:

Ok Mr Monk

 

[Rat Rod]

Ha Ha...yeah, not quite that bad.

My kiddos have worn me down over the past 4 years...I'm quickly losing the desire and the ability to keep things immaculate.

That and I'm just too tired. :|

I recognise that engine...but it's facing the wrong way! Why would anyone have a super-charged big engine driving the FRONT WHEELS??? That's just stupid...

HAha, yes i actually still does. the battery died yesterday, so it needed a new one, and it couldnt be jumped b.c of it being a 6 volt

Ha Ha...talk to Buick about it....I didn't design it that way.

Also...you'd have to drive one to appreciate it...they are pretty quick even if they are front wheel drive. They offer several modifications for them too to really get them running....just ask demon.

It's the same set up that GM used in their Bonnevilles and the Grand Prix GTPs.

Very comfortable, fast, and great gas mileage. :wink:

 

[ricksterr1221]
