I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota Crew Cab 4x4 with the Magnum V8. It has 205k on the clock and not even a check engine light. I will most likely never get rid of it. Runs good, rides great since I upgraded the shocks a couple years back, leather, power everything.....I have loved this truck since the day I bought it 15 years ago.
My work beater is a 1991 Honda CRX. Love this car....40MPG, the original hybrid....lol. I've had it since 1998. Once we get the wife a new ride, I'll make her current car my work beater, and start tearing this one down and rebuilding it as my hobby. It's simple to work on, and I can do most body work besides paint...although I might even try my hand at that, as you won't need much paint to do such a small car if I do screw it up. Wet sanding is your friend.I have read that the Honda 2.4 VTec engine will bolt right in, and mate to the transmission....we'll go from 90HP to 177. In a 1500 lb car, that should be fun.
After that.....maybe a turbo?
I have an 08 accord V6 in the 2 door.....knock on wood, but its been a great car....plan on driving it into the ground at this point. no complaints at all. I had a 1998 before this one and i think i could still be driving it with the care i give my cars.
bad investments so i get as much out as i can
wish list within reason: Denali Pickup or Silverado
wish list not in reason: 1967 GTO hard top.
