Journeyman425 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Nice to see vehicles that are well cared for!!! I love a clean car! I'm convinced they run better when they're all cleaned up like new You should see what comes into my dealership. Beautiful, expensive vehicles that are just trashed. Dents and scratches all over them, paint that hasn't been washed in weeks or more, interiors full of dirt, sand, old food, clothing, garbage. It's so sad. I could never live that way. It's a no-brainer that your car will last longer when well-cared for. But there's something about driving a freshly cleaned, detailed car - it's like it's new all over again. I still feel that way about my beloved 300M after all these years and miles. dhh3, jkeaton and rolly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSquirrel Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) It's a shame that the Eclipse was never sold here. Such a pretty vehicle. I think I saw a Mitsubishi 3000GT once, obviously imported. JKeaton, how much does it cost to register all of those vehicles? Our registrations are around $600 per year here (depending on the size of the engine) Edited March 14, 2016 by BlindSquirrel dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanTacular Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 2009 Ducati Monster 696 with Termigoni Carbon Fiber Exhaust and performance tuned ECU. 1995 Kawasaki Klx250R factory dirt bike grandfathered in to be fully street legal with every performance mod possible 35 Hp and custom upgraded plastics, fenders, and fork guards off a 2014 KXF. 351cc big bore engine kit to come = 49 HP. At half the weight of the ducati and just under half the hp safe to say she flies for a 250! Lol On nice sunny days it's hard to decide what to ride sometimes Finally my 2016 Journey which is mainly for work, rain, grocery getting, and to haul my Kawi when the trails are farther than 2 hours away. dhh3, jkeaton and rolly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
