Last ride...
2000 Durango RT
Currently running the old lady's 99 Stratus. She bought a new s10 4 door. It's in the shop getting a new front end right now.
I've been shopping for a new ride for a year and still haven't found anything that I want enough to overcome the sticker shock.

:envy;

SR swap?

Nope, its a custom kit bolted onto the stock engine.

Ahh, even nicer, imo. I was looking into getting a '97 or '98 (love that front-end..), as a secondary vehicle, before I got into my accident.

Unless it's a JDM wagon, it's heavily modified to be a turbo.

He live in GB;)
Yea, now that I look closely at the picture I can see the RHD.

I'm jealous now. :D

So am I! Oh well, I'd be in the same position financially in GB that I am here; unwilling to buy a new car;)

Wrong. The UK has had GC8/GF8 turbo's since 1994, many UK specific special editions including the STi 5 based P1.

My has a 230hp EJ20 stock. It's had one of the cats removed with a Prodrive Resonated decat unit and the rear system is by Milltek Sport.

1993 Acura Legend Sedan

187k miles still running strong. Hoping to drop in a JDM Type II motor and a new Tranny sometime in the future, then maybe she could go another 187k miles. I need to have some of the body panels repainted after 187k miles (and a stupid woman rear ending me) she has plenty of battle damage.
