I remember seeing this thread way back when and thinking I'll never have a car to drive.

But now, that changed. I have my parents '96 Ford Windstar, because my mom got a "new" (used) car cause she's driving 60+ miles a day to work now. So, for senior year, I get to drive a midnight red windstar to high school. Oh, and it has 5 bike racks on top.

Oh yeah, who's bling bling now?

Place your attention entirely on my voice and try to ignore all the others. It is important to be able to focus on a single source of information while blocking out all the other things competing for your attention.

Turbos are pretty much not worth the cost, these cars don't go up in value no matter what you do to them. I am also not a heavy racer, but will have some good mods in the coming months. The car is a 98 Stock Dodge Neon R/T, with only a Chikura header currently. You can see pics and see what I had to do to it at my CarDomain page:

I love my car, but this morning when we were doing a presentation for robotics at the Arden Fair (in Delaware), I leaned into my car to get a banner out, and as I did so, my car burned me...

I'm almost done detailing my 99 Ford Ranger 4x4. I armor all-ed all the outside plastic pieces, degreased the entire engine compartament and washed it out, aromor all-ed all rubber and plastic under the hood, washed and waxed the whole thing, polished the tires, polished the chrome, cleaned the aluminum wheels, and armor all-ed the inner fender linings.

I think I'm forgetting something I did but I don't know what. I was going to clean the whole underneath but I'm too tired after all the above.

I still have to clean the spare tire and check all the tire pressures, clean the windows, re-attatch part of my American flag sticker that is peeling, vacumn the interior, and wash the floor mats.

The whole process will have taken about 6 or 7 hours when done.

I plan on getting a Dynomax cat-back exhaust system sometime soon. I will also be adding a high flow cone filter intake if I can find where to mount a supporting bracket.

are you sure you were born in '87? I mean, your pic makes you look mid-thirties.

heh. I hear you, I did drivers ed a few years ago . . . and my instructor would sit and read the paper leaving me with instructions to 'just drive around.'

He also made me go on the highway for the first time in a major downpour. Not cool.

LOL, I'm sure (07/10/1987). Everyone asks if I'm actually 16.

My sister did it like 2-3 years ago, when we had a major flood (amazing, first one we've ever had).

That'll probably be what my instructor does.
