Time for a change.....

Cuda, challenger, or Viper?

neither of them.

why?

wow. i really dont think you would be happy with any of them. you seem to change your mind alot. ive seen your gto go through many changes with in the last 2 years. you just drop all that money into it just to sell everything already.

Are we talking classic Challenger? Semi-tough choice. I consider a Challenger more of a street bruiser than a racer due to size. The Cuda could be really cool, I really like the body style. Not sure how the Vipre falls into this group, kinda different alltogether imo.

My first choice would be a Cuda (tribute car cus I wouldn't do this to a rare 'Cuda), mini-tubbed, kinda prostreet, big blower and all...



or maybe

Well I've been stuck with it and unable to get out of it. I want out. I can make all my money back. I'm planning on just getting my old truck running and paying off the bills and then getting something I really want.

Definately old chool challenger. The cuda and challenger share the same body style (e-body) with just a few cosmetic differences. I had a 70 challenger in high school and didn't know how to repair anything. II would really like an old car again.

old school FTW!!!!!!!! bad a$$ 4 speed car would be sweet!!

this would be a nasty street car

Ahh, sure enough, I always get the classic charger / challenger confused. Was thinking of the General Lee seeming so much bigger. Even that is probably mostly perception, but it sure does "seem" big.

This is what i really would like.

Well what's the difference anyway between the classic cuda and challenger? It's practically the same chassis and powertrain. The differences are extremely minimal from my understanding.

I could go either way on this I guess. But as others have asked... What's the motivation? I guess I never understood why people buy cars, mod them, and then sell them. Seems like they are never happy? I guess I don't understand how you are "stuck" with it?

I can't speak for anyone else but the only reason I'd ditch a paid for "toy" car is if I really just never liked the body style to begin with.

out of your choices, Viper all the way.

someone has to get that viper cause i wanna go for a ride in that thing

why not an older gto? i though we we doin the gto rally this year ? Ive got my engine coming next week....

i would say a cuda if it were only those 3 pieces

yeah i love the old gto's. they look so sick. But i like the cuda cuz its really rare here in Billings to see one. and they are awesome cars for sure

All cars can be, and there are more than 5 in billings(less than 100k people by far) those 5 are just within 10 miles of my house, which is in lockwood haha.

haha yeah i know. its just that with cars like the Cuda, people don't daily drive it. i'm sure thats what Jason would do so i think that would be unreal if he did

hey jason theres an old goat over for sale on colton right by the 24th stop sign didnt stop and take a look but saw the for sale sign on the window. amazing looking car.

oh yeah that thing looked insane!! jason you need to take a look at it!! on 24th and Colton you'll see it! its so amazing!! got like drag slicks on it and stuff. thing looked mean!

Pretty sure there are more than 100k people in Billings...

hey 04wagonboy is that your blue wrx in the picture. cause i raced this guy in a goldish wrx wagon kinda like the color of jermeys subbie and he kicked my ass cause his car is modded and mines far from that stage and ive been trying to figure out who it is cause hes got a sick subbie.

none of the above.
FTW chevy all the way.

that doesnt count lock-wood.

lockwood = 59101. area codes included in the population count = 59101, 59102, 59103, 59104, 59105, 59106, 59107, 59108

source: wikipedia

Billings is the largest city in the U.S. state of Montana, located in the south-central portion of the state. Billings is rapidly growing; as of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 89,847, while the Census Bureau's 2008 estimate listed the city's population at 103,994.[1] It is the 60th fastest growing city out of the 259 cities in the U.S. with populations over 100,000, of which Billings is #259, the smallest.


A lot has changed since 2000 when they posted that number of 89,847.

2009, Billings's population is 89,847(est.) people.

that is directly from the census bureau, haha.. so who knows, its somewhere between 89k and 104k i guess? because here is one from a different site saying 101k: As of 2009, Billings's population is 101,876 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 11.47 percent.
http://www.bestplaces.net/city/Profile.aspx?city=Billings_MT

and one that says 92k: The city of Billings itself has a population of 92,000.
http://www.bigskyfishing.com/Montana-Info/billings_mt.shtm

so who knows?

yellowstone county has 142k, and includes the following places:
Billings
Laurel
Broadview
Ballantine
Lockwood
Custer
Huntley
Shepherd
Worden
Pompey's Pillar

its over 100k. i asked my mom and she works with the census and she says the census goes by city limits not zip codes.

in that case, it would be more than 100k, if it were by zip codes, it would be less. Billings city limits are retarded, if you look at an exact map, theres a couple of places where Billings, shouldn't be Billings(if that makes sense) like city limits overlap Laurel's limits, go WAY past lockwood..its retarded.

who cares, get on subject. jason man id keep your car. you will never make the money back that you spent in car payments. its retarted to buy a car for 100 and sell it for 25.

yeah, and true that..

Get a stock engine to put into the car and sale it off. then take your engine and tranny and swap it into something more fun.... there is the perfect 240sx donor car sitting at Staley's right now!

In all honesty, the grass is always greener. Take a hard look at what you don't like about your car and then figure out what would you like better about a different car. See if they are legitimate things or if you have just got caught up in day dreaming. I know I get pissed about little things on my car and then start to think I should sale it and get something different, but in the end they are usually little things that go away.

I must agree with josh...you don't want to downgrade, lol!

yeah i think you should take out the engine and stuff and drop that in a small little donor car! that would be sickest thing to do!

Well for now I want to just sell my car so I can keep making my house payments and pay off a loan I have. THen once I get thta loan paid off, I'm hoping to get an old cuda. Honestly I'd love to throw a Viper motor in an old cuda and do it up flat black.

In the mean time, I'm gonna throw a 6.0 in my old 79 chevy and throw a little lift and some 35's on it and turn it in to a bad ass daily driver.

If you want to donate $400 a month for the next 4 years, then I'll be happy to keep it.

The car isn't paid for already?

Nope.
If I had it paid off this wouldn't be an issue. Ever since I bought my house last summer it's become more of an issue. My house is way more important than a car. Plus i own my 79 chevy and it's got a 3-4 year old paint job on it. It needs to be taken better care of and fixed up.

he wouldnt need to pull his seriously stock engine (no bullshit its has ll factory parts in it) and put it into any thing. ls1s are cheapo. i picked jason's engine up for him for a very inexpensive price of $400. a ls1,lq4/9,ls2,ls6,l76.l92,ly6,ls3,ls7,lsa or if your lucky ls9. swap into a 240 would be sweet, but i think better suited into his truck.
