CylonRed posted : Our new car - we finally ditched the POS 2001 T&C after 2 transmissions, a failing A\C compressor, and more rust than my 20 year old car I sold a couple years ago. Not to mention doors that were difficult to close and a rear hatch lock that refused to unlock without the key.

2008 Odyssey EX-L, 35K miles, Nimbus Grey Metallic (I guess they liked Harry Potter in 2008), rear camera, folding seats, dual poer doors, both front heated seats, and leather. I do miss the stuff in the T&C that is only in the touring model for the Odyssey (Avg MPG, instant MPG, drive to empty, among those things).

It is a CPO so 12 Month bumper to bumper then 7 year\100K miles warranty on the drivetrain.

Stepped on it yet caddyroger? :) I've heard those V6 Camaros are quite impressive. Looks nice!

I never can get a Camaro out here to just step on it from a red with me.
Every once in a while I like to just launch from a red light when it's clear up front on certain roads I take. Had a few Camaros next to me but I just can't get them to run with me.
All other cars besides the upity BMW5/Mercedes owners seem to want to.

Any mods planned for the future?

thegeek posted : I just picked up my new truck today. I was thinking about getting a 2011 Ford F150. But decided spending over $40k just for a truck to haul a boat that I might not even buy wasn't a good idea. So instead I spent $19000 on a 2008 Dodge Dakota Laramie 4x4 with the 4.7L V8. Loaded with every option except for nav and sun roof. Only 30k miles. Still has 6k miles and 7 months left on the warranty. The 7 months will be up before I put 6k miles on it. The truck will mostly just sit in the garage as my daily driver is a 2010 Ford Fusion SEL V6. The truck replaces my shitty old 2001 Suzuki XL-7. Although the truck seats 5 it's still not big enough to haul around my entire family of 7. That's why my wife has a 2008 Toyota Sequoia. Any more kids and I'll need a bus.

Anyway, I'm a happy truck owner now. I'm going to start looking into tonneau covers now. I want one that is hard but folds up. I like the look of the solid covers but their a bitch if you ever need to put anything on the bed.

It's been a wonderful car, I've kept it in great shape for the past year I've owned it (previous owner was my mom, who grandma'd it and it always was in the garage. 120k miles and it drives wonderfully. The Duratec engine is pretty beefy, the DOHC engine really makes acceleration powerful. It's pretty damn fast too, I get up to 60 in no time, I have to be careful sometimes. :D Got a 6 speaker sound system in it (called Mach audio, never heard of it, but it sounds wonderful, w/ 6 CD slots) with full leather, auto climate control, sunroof, I love it.

I'll take some interior pics and post em.

Engine is original 5.0

I got this car smashed like a pretzel.
A tree fell on it and it was a mess.
Front right tire was actually touching the engine.

I have done alot of work on er myself and alot done by professionals.
A place in LI painted it. East Coast Restorations (ask for guy)

I have put more $$ into it than I care to admit.
I just added 6 more strobes since that list and am expecting the grille back this week. (new chrome)

I tell ya one thing though. When I put on all the TV's and light er up, I get a crowd around the car every time LOL.

From smashed up to where you have her today....that is pure dedication and $$$$........I especially like how you stated in your previous post describing your ride

"Added chrome to hide all actual lighting so as to see light effect only, not to see lights themselves"

Classy move....

In addition to int pics please take one or two at night with everything turned on.....Let us see the show :)

And I hear you about putting more $$$ into it than you care to admit....a common thing with serious auto enthusiasts and it seems we never get back what we put into it but it is the pride and joy of taking something and turning it into something entirely different that makes it all worth it.

I see your in Jersey so need to ask if you have it insured with American Collectors who are based out of Cherry Hill, NJ?

I recently picked up a 1978 Jeep J10 full size pickup 4x4 with a very built and high performance AMC 360-V-8 5.9L in it. Previous owner spent years and many hours of sweat not to mention a lot of $$$$ to get it looking really nice....When I bought it I immediately added it to my regular auto insurance policy with Amica ( who are awesome ) since I was extremely anxious to get her on the road.

Then about a week later I switched insurance over to American Collectors....I put a stated value on the truck of $10k ( previous owner had it insured for $20k) with a annual mileage requirement of 5k max which is no where near what I will put on it. I went with just enough liability to meet NY requirements and then added comprehensive ( no collision ) with a deductible of $1k....all to keep the yearly premium as low as policy.

Yearly premium came to $115.00 total...just awesome.

Great people to do business with and in addition to vehicle age requirement ( which yours qualifies for ) must submit a photo to them and also keep vehicle in locked enclosed garage and finally has yearly max mileage limits but they are very generous with that. Also must have at least one other so called regular vehicle insured ( with anyone ) and registered in your name/address. Which they will assume is your daily driver and your classic vehicle only to be used for car shows and the occasional leisure drive.

Looking forward to your other pics...a truly unique and what I like to call "Done Right" classic ride!

Great job you've done with her!

No clearance problems, yet... I want to get some lowering springs and maybe do a 1.2 front and 1.5 in the rear. Not sure yet.

And ooooooohhhhh yes, much better launches now :) I love having traction finally!

Still need to throw on my stripes (2x 12" black lemans stripes), new sequential taillights, and tinted film for the blinkers. Once my old wheels and tires sell I'll be able to get the front lip I've been eying for a while.
