Default ***My new winter beater***

I got jelous of everybody else getting winter beaters so I had to get one. Actually I just needed something to put my bike in for Glamis season. I think I need to get rid of it though. I keep looking at the engine wondering how a twin turbo setup would look on it. I'm fucked. I'm never going to be able to own a vehicle without a turbo on it.

Anyways, here are the pics.



Not bad for only $1000. It has 92,000 on it and runs like a champ. It does some nice one legged burnouts too. The first night I got it(Friday)I was taking it to show my brother and got pulled over for doing a burnout. This wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't been drinking Corona's all night. The guy I bought it from kept feeding them to me and I couldn't leave. I went through the whole field sobriety test thing and somehow I passed. I could see my heartbeat in my chest through my shirt. I figured I was going to jail for sure. I did the walk a straight line thing pretty good and then came the stand on one foot and count to 30 routine. I watched the foot that was in the air shake while I wobbled on the other one. I was getting ready to just tell him to ---- himself and shove his tests up his *** because I figured he knew I was drunk. To my amazement he said "Well, I have three or four more tests that I could give you, but if you passed that last one I'm sure you'll pass the other ones." I was shocked and extemely happy at the same time. I think I'm going to be a bit smarter next time.
Here is a pic after a quick wash.

I bet one of my neighbors jacks my rims within a week or so. I really wouldn't be mad.

Haha, yeah the funny thing is the bike is worth thousands more than the truck. Private party blue book is over $3000 for the truck. With those dubs it's worth at least $10,000.

I was thinking about that, but a twin turbo setup on this 4.3 V6 would be cool. Hopefully I won't even touch the motor. This thing needs to make it out of town still. I'm going to try not to do any mods to it and just drive it.

I still have the radiator. Are you interested?

I agree. I tried to, but it has been on there for over 10 years and if I took it off you could still see it. I might take it off anyways. I'm not a fan of bras. I prefer topless.
