GRRRR8 Previous Rides

[GRRRR8]

Well it took awhile to find some of these pics, but I hope you like them. I will add to this as I find them.

Here is some pics of my very 1st new vehicle. 97 Sonoma 4.3L. MANY mods and was a Mustang killer! The SS Camaro was my Dads. It was a low 12sec all stock motor w/bolt-ons SS.

These pics are of my 87 Buick WE4 T-Type. By far one of the wickedest cars I have ever owned. The G8 is getting there though! :)

Sweet! I love those Buicks!

Sweet! I love those Buicks!

1 day I will have another or the drivetrain out of 1 in something.

[IXLR8]

I love the Grand Nationals, I could never get over the selection of colors.... Or lack there of.

Red is the proper color for a go-fast car.

[GRRRR8]

Here are pics when I first bought it and detailed the car. It has 315s on the rear. I will post some of it all modded soon.

Thanks. Sorry for the delay. Should be posting more car pics soon.

[confused2much]

I liked the Grand Nationals too, I have only ever riddin in one but it was a damn sweet car. Same guy drove me around is his heavily modded GMC Syclone....that fugger was amaizing. I would still like to own one of them.

[Andy@Livernois]

Hey Charlie, I thought you were a true buick guy... That isn't a WE4 T-Type... It's a WE4 Turbo-T get it right... :D

Silver makes it look like an old persons buick instead of the beast that it is. But I still like it though!

[GRRRR8]

I had a chance to get a white one and wished I had. Super sleeper!

Exactly, it increases the WTF factor when I pass ya... :D

[Andy@Livernois]

Charlie you still had a powermaster on the T??? oooh scary... Mines vacuum brakes (thank God)...

[GRRRR8]

The difference is, I knew about PowerMasters. I could sit with the factory size wheel cylinders and non-soft brake shoes and hold 17psi on DRs. Slicks was almost 20! I didnt like the booster conversions. It had a PowerMaster for a reason.

and the other difference is I know I wouldn't want to f' with one... :D I just wouldn't trust myself with it...

[GRRRR8]

I found if you kept the fluid clean and replaced it with a Delco, even though expensive, it worked flawless. My car had 93k with the original one and it never missed a beat.

Looked stone stock but ran 13.5's in the quarter and maybe low thirteens if I could have gotten the hitch and tow hooks off. And yes that is 220K on the clock. Oh and it had a slight vacuum leak...yes that's it a vacuum leak...LOL

Thanks :) we have had it since 1989, before that it was my husbands grandfathers who purchased it brand new. When we got it it was bone stock.

[JoeSyko]

Since everyone else is hi-jacking the thread...here's my weekend desert warrior.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y81/JoeSyko/Amigo/P1000374.jpg

I'm driving...My GF is in the passenger seat and my 2 dogs are in the back seat. That's how we roll everytime we go (sometimes I put my teenage son in between the dogs...heh). Oh...& that's my dad on the hill.

1990 Isuzu Amigo. 3" Calmini Suspension Lift system (http://www.pureisuzu.com/89-94_amigo_3.htm), Calmini SuperWinch hubs (http://www.pureisuzu.com/manual_locking_hubs2.htm), 33x12.50R15 ProComp XTerrain Radial Tires (http://www.procomptires.com/truck-jeep-tires/xterrain-radial.aspx).

I've snapped a couple of axles before I learned some finesse. And...as you can see... just a little bit of body damage (the other side is worse). If you can't tell... I :spank: the shit out of it but it takes it & keeps on going. Any wonder where my mod money is going? :wacko:

Yeah...it's rice...but it's sure is a fun way to spend a weekend and I dig it so that's all that matters right?

[PontiacDan]

I'm sure i'm reviving an old thread, but here is my last two:

05 Mustang GT- full bolt ons, vortech s/c at 11psi, cams, 500/500rwtq, ran consistant 11.7s thru the 1/4 blah blah blah:
http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/2/web/3014000-3014999/3014251_20_full.jpg

then my 05 colorado xtreme show truck--first one on 22s, airbags, big stereo etc...this one was totaled by a 16 year old girl who decided that because the girl infront of her went threw a stop, that it would be ok if she followed

Where do Saleen's come from? I've never heard of them. Ouch on the Vette! What happened?! It ceases to amaze me how low profile they are.

[jimmytt6]

Wow nice cars.. When I was 18 had a new Mustang GT an 87 5.0 always like the Saleen's very nice. Love that vette was it totalled after the wreck??

[jimmytt6]

Steve Saleen was the founder I believe. Like Roush Mustangs, it's a aftermarket company that modifies Mustangs. Steve Saleen left the company a few years ago I think.

When I was 16, I had a 90 Mustang GT, then a 93 GT Convertible. They were cool cars.

Wikopedia has a description for Saleen that can be found here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saleen,_Incorporated)

I was in the second lane from the curb, there was a semi in the curb lane that I thought was turning left, but apparently he decided to turn right to go into the gravel yard on the totally opposite side of the road and pushed me across 4 lanes and up the curb. The car was totalled, but I was fine.

I must say, the car looked (and was) very bad, (over $20K in damage) but that door bar did what it was meant to do and did not budge. There were scrapes in it, but that and the airbags are I think what saved me! GM did a good job with the safety of the car for sure.

I was hoping they would total it, because I wouldn't want it back after that. They totaled it and I had a check in hand in less than a week.

Damn, Rick sad to see that vette like that. I believe i saw you driving it some of your videos on your youtube channel? Sounded awesome!

Yeah, I'm sure you've seen it on youtube. I drove it everyday in the summer and beat it like I stole it, but it looked brand new and ran great!

Sucks, but I walked away from it and now I just drive shop cars :)

Now if I just had pictures of the other 65 cars and trucks I'd fill this baby up. Didn't have digital cameras back in the day. My wife would also like to have all the money back too. I built the s10 for my daughter and the bimmer is my new project and my wife drives that. The Impala Clone won a lot of awards including best paint/graphics at the street machine nationals in 2006. I Air Ride and 355 crate motor, 4 buckets, etc. Awsome car. My old red truck I just sold a couple months ago.

Still have them both, The 1991 Wrangler was my daily driver but its getting out of hand, so the G8 does daily duties now. The bottom one is a 1954 M170, It runs a spool in the back and a detroit locker in front. Chevy V6 4spd trans and 5.38 gears.

2007 freightliner Columbia is my real daily driver...its so hard being away from the G8:(
