Thats really low! how often do you scrap when you drive it?

never had it scrap. more of the rear tire rubbing the top of the fender wells then scraping. well it scraps going up the drive way.

hey congrats on the 3rd place finish! :D amarinoo, just raise the back end a tiny bit. give it that aggressive look. :D and have you taken that hoodride sticker off yet???? i was 15 when i got my first square and i'm 20 now. we all know what it's like to have the coolest car in the school parking lot...even if the other kids don't know it.

My High School ride was a 1973 Jeep Wagoneer. We took it out on the trails behind the school almost every morning.

My high school ride was a 1953 Ford 4dr.
I gave $100 for it. A lot of money back then. But I wonder what it is worth now.

Unfortunately, my parent's had gotten rid of their dubs by the time I was of driving age. They joined the ranks of the Japanese car owners with a Toyota Corona & a Corolla wagon. My first ride was a '72 Vega Kammback GT, with a Buick 231 transplanted. It was almost a squareback, right?
