hey all,
i have been a member for quite awhile...joined November 25, 2002 LOL...way back when i had my 94 4dr RS. never posted here much at all. i mostly hang out over at V6z24.
anyway....i just wanted to say i am back in a J-body. a 04 base coupe.





04 coupe
2.2 ecotech
5 spd
26,000 miles
not a DAMN thing power just the way i wanted it. it does have CD and A/C tho.
only thing i am really planning on doing to it is some summer rims and tires (i HATE hubcaps) and maybe fog lights.

how i ended up up back in a J-body? well i came home from Iraq in February 2005, decided i was sick of my RS. 1/2 the power crap didn't work right. i was REALLY tired of changing right front wheel bearings, never did figure out what was causing them to only last about 8 months or so. and i wanted a 4x4 truck. so i sold the cav and bought a 89 Nissan hardbody.
had a blast with that until i toasted the head and spun a rod. so it got sold (for dirt cheap) and bought a 89 Jeep wrangler.
BIG HUGE A$$ MISTAKE!!!!
total POS, i hated it after the novelty wore off. they say you either "get" the "Jeep thing" or you dont. well i dint get it. and i just couldn't take 14 mpg anymore. i mean in the summer it wasn't too bad... i could ride my motorcycle to work most days and save on gas. but in southeast Ohio you cant ride year around (plus I'm a cold weather wuss ) so it got traded in on the 04 Cav.
now i can drive to work enjoying my morning coffee and cigarette. the heater is nice and warm before i even get 5 miles down the road (Jeep heaters SUCK!!!) i can HEAR bob & tom again, and my doors arnt about to fly off at highway speeds,
all is well in the world and Larp is happy

well guess ill be the first to say it. welcome back and have fun with the new car
