I wouldn't buy either one.:lol:

I wouldn't own a Ford Bronco and I don't like repairing tranny's over and over enough to get a freakin' Fiero either.

I recommend you keep looking for something more reliable that has better resale value.

I always try to find an older classic for as little $$ as I can that needs some tlc and maintenance, and then I try to fix it up as original and different from everyone else that has one as I can.

Insurance is cheaper, it's cheaper to license every year, and it increases in value the longer you own it. (And it's paid for...so there's no worries about the repo man.)

That way you stand out from the rest of the "jelly beans with wheels" driving drones on the road, and at least you can find your freakin' ride easily at the mall. Plus the fact that chicks really dig old tricked out classics aint really a buzzkill either. :wink:


But hey...it's your $$ and your time. After all what do I know - I just read Playboy for the articles.... 8)

That's just my $.02 worth....I'm not tryin' to pick on ya. :)

The thing is, I love working on cars and once my Luv's running I'll be sad that I have nothing to do anymore. So I though of picking one of those up...


That and their both only $500, when I could put about $500 more in it and double if not triple what I do put in it.

why not just buy another luv and go the complete opposite route that you took on the first one?Best of both worlds there!

What....there aint any old Chevy trucks or cars around where you live? :P

I just picked up a low mileage '87 two door 2WD blazer with a 4.3 V6/auto for $1500.00 that is great shape inside and out. The only thing wrong with it is the doofus kid that owned it did a crappy job of hacking up his lower control arms and made his own lowering blocks arms to lower it 3 inches, I need to paint one front fender to match, and the tailgate latch doesn't work.

But I can pick up the stock control arms and everything else he hacked up that I need to replace for under $150.00 at a local junkyard, and a complete lowering kit that includes 2 inch drop spindles, heavy duty shorty shocks, lowering blocks, u-bolts, etc. is less than $300.00 on ebay. I already got a damn nice set of new 17 inch mags with low profile tires on it, and as soon as I get done tinkerin' around with my Luv - it's next. 8)

There are some good deals out there dude...you just got to look real hard. :wink:
