I haven't always had a Neon... just figured you guys may enjoy a few pics of these two.

First up is my 89 GMC S15 Jimmy 4x4. Had a lot of fun off roading in this beast...

Next we have my old 76 Grand Prix. 400 C.I.D. engine, true dual exhaust, power everything, T tops... really miss that car!

Yes I took the wheels from the Grand Prix off when I blew the trans and motor, and put them on the truck...

I saw this posted up on the 2gn board as well.

So you miss that Grand Pricks ?? :lol: Those things were BOATS !!! :lol:

Big, HEAVY, with LOUSY miles per gallon, LOUSY handling, and not enough power, too boot..... Which describes many of the American cars that were being built at the time !!!!! ( Chevy Monte Carlo, Ford Torino/'Elite', Mercury Montego, Dodge Cordova.)



My first car was a 1973 Dodge Charger. ( a Boat, like the above.) :)
Do I miss it ?? NO..... It was a real and COMPLETE piece of .... :lol:

Oh don't get me wrong, it was a real POS, but the guy I bought it from rebuilt the motor, so it had more HP/TQ than stock and added the exhaust. It sounded mean, handled like a boat, and was just all around awesome. I loved it, and to this day still want one just like it. Er, well not JUST like it, preferably the next one will have floors instead of rubber mats where the floor used to be.
