heh, don't worry, I shall not let ATOT down if this occurs.

Yeah good luck on that.

"Hey babe, check out my 83 Toyota. I got the Miami Vice soundtrack in the tape deck, let's rock out."

Man, please shut up or lets take it to track to figure out whose got the most testosterone. This got old real fast. Leave, no one wants to hear your opinions. Something you may want to remember before you post, Opinions are like Assholes, everyone has one.

BTW, the car doesn't have the stock radio nor the stock speakers in it. And yes, I've already had girls want to go for a ride in my "old decrepid POS".

it indeed is an old car, but imo i guess its fun restoring a classic, people spend hundreds if not thousands in rc hobbies for example, so just dont pay much attention to the critics and have fun.

I would happily drive an old school Supra that was in good condition.

question: whenever someone here says they bought a car do other people say 'no go get xxxxxxxxxx it's better for less money' or stuff like that. The dud ALREADY bought a car, so he's not going to go buy another lol

If you were in the area, I'd let ya as long as you return it in as good of condition as it is in now, hence no wrecks or blown motor.

Dude, there's absolutely nothing wrong with having a car like you've got, but you're still way to proud of it. "Take it to the track." LMAO

the estimated mpg is 21. At least that is what the window sticker said back in 83

Just filled the car up and got 20.5 from running the car hard most of the time.

Yeah, lets take it to the track, run your car around for a few laps and lets see what you got.

edit: apparently you havn't owned a car that you can be proud of.

Do you know what a QX4 is? It's an SUV, and you want me to run around a track? I'd flip the thing over.

As long as we race in the snow, then we'll see who does the best lap.

Yeah I know what the qx4 is. sure, I'll race ya in the snow, downhill from Mt. Rainer, first one to the bottom with a car that is still running with minor to no damage wins.

Yeah I'm sure my car, SUV tires, 2 foot ground clearance, and yours some 6 inches from the ground with what, 15 inch compact car tires, will fair just about the same. *rolls eyes*

I'd hate to see what you're like if you had a nice car. You'd probably tell me it could fly and travel through time.

Have you christened your car yet? You could name it "Irrational Exuberance."

Heh heh, 6 inch ground clearance? lol, not really. 14 inch tires, working on finding the stock rims, 14 inch performance rims, putting performance tires on it.

I'd be surprised if your Nissan even has 12 inches of ground clearance.

It was an eyeball estimation. But it's an SUV, and an SUV has vastly more ground clearance than a compact car.

The car isn't shouldn't be classified as a "compact car", it might be small, but its certainly out of the league as the "compact car". Its a sports car, leave it at that. Your SUV has roughly 14 to 16 inches of ground clearance. But its top heavy.

I know a guy with 14 inch wheels...on his golf cart.

So you are comparing a sports car to a go kart now? GTFO! please just leave, you are out of line and obviously have no clue what you are talking about. If I wanted to put 15s, 16s, or larger on the car I would, but then it would look fugly.

you do realize that car has 140hp...right? My bike has almost the same output...

Bikes ought not be compared to cars.

it has 8.4" of ground clearance.

lets see what a compact car has:...

uhoh... your vastly superior ground clearance difference is prolly about the size of your dick

WRX: 6.1" of ground clearance.

yup, thats a compact car

a NEON has 6.1" of clearance as well.
