I'll meet y'all at Kelly's Roast Beef Curtains

I'm out for the movie- I already saw it. We could always retire back to my place for movies and/or old school [non-360] xbox.

the show is the new england international autoshow

its new cars. it started weds and is going till sunday. heres a link: http://www.paragonexpo.com/189.html?flash=1

I've gone the past 3 or 4 years and i usually have a good time. its at a new (and from what i hear much bigger) location this year. i believe they will have a lot more exotics this year (ferrari, lotus, aston martin, rollers, bentley, etc...)

somtimes they have concepts. i know they are going to have a few this year. i would be very surprised if the evo x was there tho

there were some people on nasioc that hit the show and said it was pretty good this year. i guess the larger location helped. i know there is a new sti there, no word on the evo X though.

the old location was always hit or miss... a couple years i had a sick time and they had some awesome cars... atleast 1 year there really wasnt anything interesting there...

i also heard the new location helped a lot


off topic...

what do you guys think about wranglers? im thinking more and more about getting a second vehicle. so far i've been thinking late 90's tacoma or frontier. reg or extended cab. 5spd. i've thought about getting a wrangler tho too even tho i think jeeps are garbage... i might even just buy my roomate's 97 4runner. its cheap and solid haha.

this looks like it could be a decent deal: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1999-...QQcmdZViewItem

I dunno i would rather save $12 and time and gas and just peruse som dealer lots come January. That is just me though. I really would only want to see the STi and X. I could give a crap about the majority of other cars. Porsche and Ferrari are cool to see when they are there and depending on what cars they bring. But i actually see the new porsches on the street pretty often.

Dextor, did you read up on the MIVEC disassembly thread? pretty interesting stuff. That Mfred impresses me with his ECU voodoo.

Paul, you can head over to my place...that's no problem, but I have another dentist appointment this afternoon so I may be a little late...I'll call you when I'm leaving Natick (dentist).

I'm out for the autoshow...our parents are going to be in town for most of teh weekend. I probably have some availability Friday evening and Sunday afternoon if anyone's up for anything.

Dex- are you coming tonite? do you wanna swing by the house after work and before dinner? lemme know buddy.

Anyone else? Greg? Marshall?

I have a 1994 Cherokee that I treat worse than....well anything. I beat the crap out of it and still haven't changed the oil. It's a 5spd / 2wd and it gets ~20 mpg and runs on regular. It ain't pretty, but it's hauled around a lot of stuff. The I6 motors will run forever and most of the drivetrain is pretty diesel. The one thing to watch out for is death wobble. You just need to replace some steering bushings, but if you are on the highway and it lets go, bad things will happen.

Oh...and it cost me $900. As Turco about the things I've done to it....

Buy a Cherokee instead. They are WAY cheaper and more readably available. Plus they are pretty much indestructible as mikie stated. And if you get one with a little body damage all you need is some bathroom caulking and JB Stick.

don't forget the flat black rustoleum
