Talking Pics of my 160k DD!

Washed my 160k 2000 TA this past weekend. Love this car and drives GREAT! Going to be putting in a SPARTAN Spekked cam in soon!! WHOOP!

Took it to a local car cruise because the 89 TTA is still not running because my *** wont cut the lines and put the plastic tank from a 4th gen in it. Got a Lonnies Double pumper setup for it.

I have had battles with myself over this and taking the molding off the side.

The CETA just seems like there is a hole or something missing from the bumper.

The side moldings help a DD car by preventing them from getting door dings even though I park a miles away and around nothing whenever I go somewhere but somehow there is an idiot that decides to park next to me.

Yea. Just as soon as I graduate and find a better paying job Hopefully in this economy. I will get another DD. But between this car, my 89 TTA, Getting a diamond for the Girl, and saving for a house its tight.

But man I have to tell you this is one fun car and I love driving it.

Right now I wouldnt want another car to drive everyday.

wow nice to see some examples of american durability. You know whats funny, is your cars arent rare at all, i know so many people with high mileage birds and all kinds of american cars. Yet american cars are said to die at 100k miles? What is that like an 80's thing? Cuase i see no proof of it! Everyone praises overseas automakers for durability yet i havnt witnessed it the way i have american cars. My KIA is awesome, but its still at 85k. Well see where it is at 150k. My Trans Am when it was stolen, had 150k and i had never had a problem! And i drove the **** out of it! I raced it, i dd it commuting 150miles a day, whats more dependable than that? We bought a honda to commute in and it fell to peices in less than 40k miles. We should all start a high mileage thread!
