KaiserRolls Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Who cares about mileage when you can jump minivans andyhundley and I love my E39 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REKIII Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 That is pretty hilarious=) How are those on fuel mileage, being a newer truck and all? I'm averaging 12.8mpg right now. I want to see if premium will bring it up at all. It's a 6000lb truck with a 6.2L V-8.....I didn't think it would get good gas mileage. I drive about 5.5 Miles to work, so I don't put a ton of miles on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhundley Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 This will be mine here pretty soon to serve as a winter/daily beater. It's a 91 318is with 12x,xxx on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhundley Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 This car takes good photos. It's pretty solid mechanically but it's pretty rough around the edges. It needs a new exhaust, control arms, struts and other odds and ends. I just hope it has a LSD! I'm going to look at it and negotiate a price on Sunday.

Earl Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 I guarantee the battery box is rotten on that car and that there are some good rotten bits underneath=) Nothing is too clean to be a beater anyways.

patsbimmer1 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I just picked up a 2003 Ford Escape XLT last night as a 3rd vehicle for us. This opens up so many possibilities for a summer car! jc43089 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I love my E39 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Just traded my 96 Legacy for an 01 Dodge Neon. It is a choice I know I will regret but for now I will try and make the best of great MPG and Ice cold AC Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REKIII Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I had an 01 neon for quite awhile. Get some blizzaks for it and you will motor through the snow like a beast. Very reliable vehicle. Worst thing about mine was that it was automatic.....I hated that. I love my E39 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Wasn't yours boosted Robert? I borrowed a neon once and absolutely hated it. It wasn't in the greatest aesthetic condition but it ran well. It had the worst handling out of any car I have ever driven and it couldn't get out of its own way if it had to. It was reliable in the fact it didn't break while I drove it. IIRC it broke a few days after I gave it back to the owner though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6670charger Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'd post a pic of mine, but, according to the photo uploader, you'd have to look at it using a magnifying glass to see it. 5KB is tiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And @earl the handling is worse then my old 98 nissan 200sx that had the rear springs removed lol.

It was reliable in the fact it didn't break while I drove it. IIRC it broke a few days after I gave it back to the owner though. My 95 was turbocharged. The first gens (95-99) handled much better. They were around 2200lbs and had pretty advanced suspension for the day. The second gen 2000-?? handled OK after a lot of modification. All my neons (I've had like 12 all were extemely reliable I only had 1 second gen though. Ya mine is the whopping 3 speed auto. I have no idea why on earth dodge wanted to make a trans like that.

Automatics suck giant (male sex organ) in general, but that 3 speed sucks. If you put new struts and a set of eibach springs it would handle much better....but it doesn't really matter since it is an automatic winter beater.

REKIII Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 The one I drove was a first gen=P Must have been fairly worn. Not sure what to tell you. They were very far ahead of their time when they came out in 94. Just in the last 3-4 years they started losing their edge in the stock classes in autocross.
