Frank, have you tried the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale Stout, and they had a seasonal Pumpkin Ale which was pretty damn awesome too.

Lane, the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale is very similar to sipping some good Jack Daniels.
I'm gonna have to try to find that stout. I generally love stouts. If I'm ever in the area in the fall I'll have to try that pumpkin one.

Exactly, this brew is the fine wine of the beer world whereas the Big 3 are the boxed wines.

Just lost an eBay auction for a Dodge Motorsports Track Pack (collectibles that came with the Motorsports option in 2001). :cussing:

Hit a milestone in my 1st gen! Got 40.04 MPG on my last tank. 25-30% city driving. 91 NO ETHANOL at HyVee. 65-67 mph max on the interstate. Slow starts, shifting at 2500rpms except going into 5th I shifted at 3k sometimes. Not one single WOT pull, which is very hard to do!

Been trying to get 40mpg for a while. I am sure if it was all highway it would of been better.

Interesting. I used to get around 40 in my 1GN regularly. In fact, the gas mileage seemed to improve with its age.

Single cam motor? Auto? I do have a bad wheel bearing on the passenger side. Makes all sorts of noise over 70mph.

SOHC and MTX. Early build so DOHC motors hadn't been introduced yet (and I wanted one with a power bulge hood after I saw them but too late :banghead: ). Yours is doing really well under the circumstances you mentioned.

Hey Gramps Congrats!! Cars still looking like new!

I just got my 96 (194,000km) going again after it sat for a few years and sold it to a friend he's loving it so far and I am happy to have the old girl back around ! She started after 5 rotations and never even smoked.

Hope everyone has been having a good summer I just did the wheel bearing on the 2004 and changed the exhaust swapped in a header and new cat the old cat had came apart and the honey comb had broken loose and was clogging it up I didn't realize this until I took the header off and looked into the cat , my mileage is up around 400km a tank now if I baby it and about 360km if I don't lol.

I have been slacking on here for a while , while still working on the car but will be back around more on the positive though lots of reading to catch up on lol :D

Replaced the inner tie rods on the '01 this weekend.



Not something I really have an urge to do again. :lol:

I hear you. Getting mine out was a bit of a pain as well. Putting the new ones in was much better though. The fact that the steering wheel no longer shakes made up for it all though :lol:

Burger King to buy Tim Horton's?

Congress had better get serious about rewriting US tax laws!

I will confess to eating at Tim Horton's more than I do at Burger King. :lol:

Looking at possibly getting a crew cab Dakota as a second vehicle. And the only way I am getting a neon is if I can get my hands on an SRT-4. :thumbup:

With prices I have seen around here, it would be cheaper to get an srt.

:withstupid: ... I originally wanted to turbocharge my 1999 Dodge Neon R/T ... with the cost of parts from Hahn RaceCraft, plus the labor for installation, it was cheaper to buy the SRT-4 :D

I saw several srt 4's in the state that are under 7 grand. Not like we could afford it though. I get 60 a month in play money and unless someone would take that as monthly payments. I have to wait and go nuts with out another vehicle. Yes I have to say it. I MISS MY NEON!!

Caliber has more horsepower, but it's also heavier than the Neon.
