    Beater 1 - 90 model Celica ST - cost $300 - sold last week for $1000

    Beater 2 - 91 model Celica GTS-cost $1150 with 96000 original mileage.

    They are fried rice, but they are pretty tough cars and lots of fun around town.

     

    I still drive the SS whenever I have to go out of town.

  6. Escalade wheels?

    I don't think they are original stock, more like a dealer-supplied accessory. I've seen a lot of Escalades and never saw those rims before.

     

    I like the 20's that came on the Escalade ESV Platinum Edition. Same size as our stock wheel. Very hard to get though. If a center cap could be fabricated with a bowtie on it I would like those. Here is what they look like:

    I'm thinking about some new wheels myself...OZ Canyon ST 22"

  12. got a new Daily driver today

    I used to work on those when they were new.

     

    If it's a 3.0 with a 604 automatic, I would check for a vacuum leak, then ck air filter and throttle body-clean as necessary. Ck plugs & wires, fuel pressure and filter. There are sensors that go bad but they usually set off the SES light. And that three-cycles of the key should give you your DTC's. Expect a code 12 and a 55, with your DTC's in between.

     

    Oh and a bad speed sensor (or bad connector) can also cause a 3.0 to stall or almost stall...but it starts right back up easily.

     

    Hope one of these helps you out.

    Dude, I remember MY 454SS :)

     

    I remember a lot of Jagermeister :)

     

    I remember going outside one 'morning after' and wondering just where I had left my back tires at, cause they were _gone_.

     

    Sorry you had to learn a tough lesson, and hope it all works out okay.

  22. what you do for easter?

    Saturday in the US was Easter Down Under.

     

    I took my kid to the Telstra Tower and the Australian National Museum in Canberra ACT

     

    Well, it was something different... :)

     

    4real it was one of the most awesome days we ever had together.

     

    Then yesterday we rode that red SS almost 600 kms...traffic was murder.

  23. The New M3

    The car's electronics' need to be resilient to the scanner interfacing with the vehicle bus, and BMW is just not up to par ...

     

    Hey! Looks like someone besides me remembers the 850i :)

     

    They are just a little too overengineered for me is all.

     

    Nah, for real. Its important to drive whatever you want...every vehicle is a pile of nuts and bolts, and they all have their problems.

    So, after 4/50 you just throw it away, right?

     

    I didn't say they weren't good cars, just that _I_ don't want one. I can drive anything I want to, and I still don't want one.

     

    Y'all need to quit hating.

     

    Oh, and what is the tow rating on that M3?

     

    Thought so...

    So, paying over $2,500.00 for every major service is okay? Do you like $300.00 oil changes? How about 1.5 hours of labor for each wheel on a brake job?

     

    Chris Bangle's designs are uninspiring. The cars are well made, and micro-edge precise. Their level of precision makes them extremely fragile.

     

    The servicing costs are the main reason you will never see me driving one.

     

    It's a nice fast car, but that is all. I will keep my truck and buy a G8 GT, because it will be the only import that has LS power.
