Really $100 for gas a month. I actually went through $150 of fuel in one day of top speed driving. Not to mention the $700 for new brake pads and rotors after I crystalized them, and the $600 fluid change and tune up.

six, I'm sorry to say that sounds rather dumb. Like I said, no offense, but I'd rather live comforatably than have a car like that. I looked into a new Viper when i came back from deployment, but the price of insurance/gas/tires/upkeep made me think twice. I can have twice as much fun in my monte and worry about it alot less, cost alot less and still get the same "oooooohhhh and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". just my two cents though

My first one, was broken, got it for free from my mom. Had to fix shocks and springs, cooling system, belts and ignition system.



I ended up throwing it into the dump (it was still running). Never had it in my name.

Second one I got same way, was broken, got it from my mom. Had to replace entire cooling system, and eventually got air filter, cat-back, upgraded entire ignition system, new head gasket and port/polish, brakes, H&R springs, fixed the AC system, body work to remove rust, new head unit, speakers and sub, etc etc. But for both of these cars I was stuck on a small island in the pacific with only a family-run NAPA store and all I had was a socket set and some screwdrivers.







The first car I actually bought is the fiero I have now. My wife first had a cressida that the engine blew a rod (3 engines) and later after we got together her parents gave her a 91 integra. I really hated that car.

Someday I'll actually be able to afford a car with a performance aftermarket. Or when I throw in a 350 to the fiero...

When I was 15 I had a 1986 Dodge Ramcharger, 318 V8 and 727 automatic. I could never get that thing to run right and it had all kinds of electrical problems so I junked it and bought my Spirit when I was 16.

Ever hear of the Seminole Tribe of Florida?


No. Hmmm. Ever hear of Hard Rock?

Well we now own Hard Rock LLC. All the restraunts, hotels, and casinos. Exept the ones that are licensed, like Las Vegas, and the original one in England. We now gross over $1.2 B a year.
