Chalk Up Another Free Car!

Katakuna

It’s pretty sad when I’ve had so many cars that I forget about some that I’ve owned. The car I forgot about most recently was a 1995 Dodge Neon 2-door, and I really liked it. It didn’t have the paint falling off in sheets, which was a common thing for the first Neons. It had three regular wheels and a doughnut on the front right wheel, and the windows would tilt when you lowered them. It was fun to watch when I’d let people sit in it and they’d start playing with it, and they’d shoot down into the door. One guy turned white as a sheet when he thought he broke it. The window tint wasn’t bad, actually, and I actually drove this one on a weekly basis. You wouldn’t think it, but that tiny little deathtrap had some balls. It must’ve had 150 horsepower because it wasn’t totally stock, what with a full exhaust (no fart cannon, thank goodness) and a true cold air intake.

The only thing I absolutely hated was that crappy little three speed automatic, it shifted craptastically and sucked the torque through a straw. It’s spending its days on a friend’s farm next to a completely gutted and rusted ’46 Chevrolet sedan, where I first learned to drive, mostly because the engine cuts out but also for the fact I couldn’t even get a junk title for it. It was a great little car, even if it wouldn’t run too long at a time. Its fate is sealed, as it’s being parted out. Not much is useable other than interior, since most of the exterior panels were either damaged or warped. Who knows, maybe I’ll scrape together my brother’s Accord and demo the turds? Whatcha think? Should I send it out in style, or sell it, part by part? It’s up to you, CarDomain members…

Can’t do that, either. It has no legal title, and my local government won’t issue one for it. So it’s either trash the car, part it out, or just let it sit.

I say you fix it up… and give it to a worthy car domain member who is in need… Do a how to video from start to finish of each step. and mod as you go… Let the all of the member vote on what mods are done (of you you would give then a choice 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on)… then present it to them at a big event (SEMA or something like that I have a few ideas about that as well).

First and foremost I would make it something that other could learn from… lol I have tons of ideas on how it could be done…

Monster Garage got cancelled years ago. That’s likely why he’s doing “Jesse James is a dead-man.”

Get a hold of Jesse James and see if he can “Monster Garage” this car. Hopefully he will fail in his mission and shoot it to swiss cheese with a mini-gun mounted on his Suburban.

I was watching the tonight show, Ask Conan to blow up your car! If only to send it off in style and get a new Lexus in the process.

Send it out in style, and make a home made action film with it!
