What's your auto/truck money pit

[wareagle]

Based on some of the screen names, I think we have a number of auto and truck enthusiasts. Look like TNspeed and TNoffroad have few folks that have a few money pits that don't envolve burn't powder.

Here's mine:

Trooper (mine-trail rig):

Miata (wife's -setting up for auto-x):

Kid hauler:

Daily Driver (company owned / not cool):

I got rid of my money pits a few months ago. 1998 Z71 kept me busy replacing fuel pumps and intake gaskets, but it was a tank. Traded it and my 2003 Mach 1 off for a Yukon Denali XL. So far it's been reliable but it eats into my shooting money every time I pass a gas station.

Yeah, my wife's land cruiser does the same. Atleast, you have a decent tow vehicle when you pickup your next money pit.

95 Isuzu Rodeo. I hate it. I'd buy something else if I wasn't a poor college kid. Note poor and college being together but still retaining the previous poor-ness

Thanks man. I'd love to have another one to drive every day.

I have a stripped down RX-7 with plans for a Chevy LT1.

The car's current state.

5.7l V8 = Torque = Good

Ultimate shop cat.

Looking to pick this up later this week.

[Guest macho999]

07 Tacoma. I want to get a trail rig but I'm sending all that money to the US treasury in about a week

[Guest Archimedes]

Well, first is my daily driver.....the sexehlex:

1992 Lexus ES 300

It has an engine now, though.

Then my faithful truck:

1994 Chevy Silverado

...and finally the one that got away...

My other bank account is a 2000 Ford 150 SVT Lightning

Seems that bank account is much larger than my personal account

Nice DB!

I only have a regular grand cherokee laraedo...no pics of it but its green.

I think its a 96 or something.

the next vehicle I get will be a 4 door Jeep whatchamacallit...cant remember the name of that dang Jeep..but the S.O liked it soooo...we're going to sell her alero and get one.

thereby ensuring that I stay in debt

[Guest db99wj]

Thanks,

Oh, I like those, the 07 Wrangler Unlimited 4d. Carmax had 6 across the country over the weekend, today they have 1.

[Guest LiLBucket]

Man, autos are definitely da debil!!!

97 Mustang (DD but never could leave well enough alone)

72 Macah 1

71 CJ5

96 Katana (just sold it regrettably!!)

To many parts for the above list!!!

The list of vehicles to hoard is absurd too!! Everytime I see a Mustang for sale, whether it be a complete car or not, I have to fight the urge to impulse buy!! Same goes with older Jeeps!! uuuughh!!

[tnroadrunner]

I have a 2002 Chevy 3500 Silverado dually, with Duramax diesel and Allison Trans.

[TGO David]

Well since we're showing pictures of things we used to own...

My 2003 Mach 1:

[Guest LiLBucket]

Nice Ponies Tungsten!!

I wish I had some pics on my work computer of mine.

[2000silverz28]

My money pit is my 2000 camaro z28. Has alot of mods with more on the way.

I also have a 2004 silverado z71 that so far I haven't done anything to. I've been getting the itch though.

[shaftbass]

I always thought white LX hatches with Draglites looked really, really damn good.

[Guest Jason F.]

The old money pit. I have sort of sold it but still race it with the new owner who has not finished paying for it yet so I still claim it as mine.

and again

I am also part owner of this money pit that sees rally duty several time a year.

Last year I picked up this money pit.

And when my race car gets paid off I will be picking up this....

I do not even want to get into what I have owned and sold off, the daily drivers, or the better half's money pits.

My 99 F150 4x4 off road is go vehicle and main transportation, it has just a few mods K&N filter, Borla catback, Baer decela rotors all around, and for a few months in a summer I stick the 22's on. It does have the 5.4 and every option that ford offered in 99 except for sunroof and leather.

My other vehicle is more of a toy and fair day driver, it is an 88 mustang coupe original V8 car. It has a hand full of mods Cobra intake, 70mm TB, BBK shorty headers, BBK ORH, flowmaster 3 chamber catback, March alum pulleys, FRPP AC eliminator, FRPP aluminum DS, E fan, Ram clutch, Steeda tri_ax shifter, and Steeda firewall adjuster.

While talking about the more recent sells of cars here is my old 88 coupe that I had to sell while I was going to school for this maintenance career. I will just take the short route and say the only things stock on the car was the fenders, deck lid, and interior minus the seats and the added rollcage. Man trying to grow up sucks I really miss this car.

What it looked like when I got it with the 347.

When I sold it with the 398 in it.

...but it sips gas, costs little to insure, and never, ever, breaks.
