    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

      I really enjoy your build thread.
      Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

            A purpose built race car? Do you trailer it in?

              It is a trailer tramp (queen seems a little grandiose for a car that gets beat on so much), I stripped out all the spare wiring that runs things like turn signals and parking lights. More to the point, it has a "Lincoln-locked" diff, so it is a handful to turn on pavement.

              Hope that was a good tear drddan!
              Thricetiva replaced Icetiva as the new ride

                I'm not familiar with that. But I'll assume it means welded

                    Thanks, when I saw the pics it looked more blue - which is what I was hoping for but when I got there it was more of a blue green but I still like it. I forgot to say that it only had 75,000 miles on it when I bought it

                      You sure made that Aspire look really nice! Good job!

                      What brand/type rims are those?

                            Thanks, I really appreciate everyone liking this car as much as I do - I have four Aspires but this one is my favorite. I also have a 97 four door with 60,000 miles but this one is the one I drive everyday. My son drives a 96 two door that he really likes.

                              I like my 96. It's kinda a junker, but not beat up like alot of them you see. It just won't die
