A few weeks ago my Neon was backed into by a '92 Lincoln towncar. It went to the body shop today to get the door and fender fixed. So for the next week I get to drive my friends 2k Celica GTS

Yeah...I have been in an accident already with the Charger once (not my fault) and it was not pretty. It was fixable, but still traumatizing in a way.

And I'm not sure why the Celica is FTL. It has waaay more power then my neon, handles better, and a 6 speed. But anyway hopefully it won't take that long to get the neon rollin' again.

A FTL would be like an Escort or a GM J body....

I just reallly hate celicas. I think they are very ugly and the styling is not all that. they look like lifesize hotwheels cars. But that is just my opinion. I know they have more power, and all that...but yeah.

Only a 383, when are you going to drop in a Stroker 440?
Got to love the sound of big cubed V8's with a cam...rumpity,rumpity,rumpity....
Oops there goes 2 gallons idling

My boss and I harass each other jokingly on a daily basis about each other's cars...
He has a 67 Satelite convertable w/ a stroked 440 that run's 11's all day long and gets 8-12mpg....

I have a disassembled 440 in my garage now, it's just a matter of time and $$$$. I need to graduate college first.
