Haven't posted on here in awhile, so I figured that I would.
I traded my 1994 LHS for a non-working 2000 Sebring Convertible and fixed it. That is now what I'm driving for the daily driver.

The v8 s-10 is about done, too. I went with an L98 from an 87 Corvette and threw throttle body on top of it. It has nice power, burns the tires at half throttle. Just need to get an exhaust job for it.

Video of it running... I miss this forum.. Cya guys.

Right!
All I had to do was trade the 94 LHS and a laptop I got for $10 for that 2000 sebring. I don't think gaining $4k on the trade is a bad deal, do you honestly?
Plus, I never have had problems with Chrysler vehicles. A lot less problems than GM vehicles.... I HATE Pontiacs...
Should I start a new thread on the truck in the lounge, or post stuff in here? But thanks for the compliments

Yeah see I respect that...its just like you said though...that the 80's AND 90's were not at all kind to Di/Chry...the whole K cars and Cab Forward thing probably sounded good on paper...but realistically was something else all together...but now since the Mercedes aquistion/merger (however you wanna look at that one lol) things really are looking up for them. But I gotta be honest, I STILL wouldnt buy anything made by them pre mid 70's...

Wait, you have a Jeep that can out handle and out brake a legend? Huh....I'd really like to see some pictures of your suspension setup, lol.

Oh, and I didn't mean this in a mean matter. I was being facetious.

Facetious \fuh-SEE-shuhs\, adjective:
1. Given to jesting; playfully jocular.
2. Amusing; intended to be humorous; not serious.

Well, since I've had my car for a few months, and I've just now decided to keep it instead of selling it for over $2600 under blue book, I'll tell a little about it.
I was previously driving a 1994 Chrysler LHS that was very reliable and dependable.

It had 126,000 miles on it. Had bad paint, beautiful leather interior.
Anyways. I drive by my neighbor's house whenever I go anywhere, and I saw that his sebring was sitting half way in the garage for about 2 weeks. I decided one day to walk over there and talk to him about trading his car for mine, but then I found out it was a 2000 and knew he wouldn't be interested in trading down years.
Well, I drove by his house one day and he saw my car, deciding that he liked it he came over and talked to me about it.
He told me that since there were so many years different between the years and 30,000 miles, that I'd have to put money into it. I told him I had no money at all to put into it since it was all tied up into my s-10.
A few days passed, then he contacted me about trading again, since his only working vehicle (his van was down too) was broken, so he really needed a vehicle so he could go back to work.
Anyway, we kept talking for a few days, and I finally gave in into giving him my laptop (which I had obtained for $10) and build him a 500 Mhz computer, plus trading my LHS. He gave in and decided to trade.
This is the vehicle I got after I helped him clean out 100 LBS. of paper and crack pipes. (Not joking)





Yes, those are noodles. There was also an entire can of coke spilled into the rear passenger seat.

After about 8 hours into cleaning the interior.

Took camping.

Installed Blue LED's in the instrument cluster.

Limo tinted rear window and 20% on rear-side windows

Installed amazingly bright fog lights that I get flashed for all the time

Interior currently.

I installed a trip computer too, which shows what direction you're going, outside temperature, average MPG, current economy MPG, hours, etc. OEM part.
There's also a 10" Kicker in the trunk that sounds really good and a Kenwood amp. The box is tuned to 35 HZ and is 1.7cubic foot. That thing can get low...The head unit is a Panasonic touch-screen cd player. It vanishes to completey black when off. When on, the chrome inside of it is reflective. Very cool.

In my opinion, I've improved it amazingly.
Thanks for looking.

Here's the s-10 I've been working on.
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...1075060194&n=2
Video of it with the 2006 Mustang mufflers I put on it. (Sound shitty at idle since it was getting way too much fuel, I've now fixed that but my new ministarter went out 3 days after I bought it . I'm waiting for a replacement)

Engine when I got it. It's from a 1987 Corvette/Camaro with a roller cam.

Engine after rebuild.

Cool smartass comments to follow...

Okay, let me get this straight...you've been saying goodbye for 1 year and 7 months, have bought and sold/traded at least 2 cars in that time (only one of which was actually an Acura), have repeatedly disrespected the Acura Legend, consumed valuable A-L bandwidth/diskspace with so many pix and specs I'm starting to wonder if I'm sitting in a stale, '70s-decorated GM showroom going over war stories with one of their most obnoxious chain-smoking, coffee swilling salesmen-turned-weekend-mechanic....AND MANAGED to garner props for that 'olds grill???!!! wow. you, sir are a MASTER!!

Just IMHO...
