2008 JK Wrangler

2003 Nissan 350z - car ran great, loved modding it for a while, but it was up around 140k miles, becoming a rattle and money trap with each minor thing that would break, and useless in winters (just traded it in December 12 or so) for the past 4 years.
Not to mention I got 3 tickets about 4+ years ago (first year I had the car) and lost my license for 45 days and I just got another 3 in the past 3 months (luckily 2 were no points). Need to slow down for a little while and the JK 4-door suits me just fine. Its slow enough, rides luxuriously compared to my modded, very low, 35 series tired 350 (for now) and still allows much room for mods in the coming years. I do plan to get another sportscar someday in the next couple years (370z, C6 Vette, etc.), but I won't mod this one, I'll save the mods for the JEEP...

I spent the better part of 10 years restoring it. I just lost interest. 620 lb coils and 4 1/2 leaf rears, 12" SSBC vented rotors, negative wedge, subframe connectors, etc... 2-barrel 289 w/ 2.73 open rear returned 22 mpg  Interior shot  Rack & Pinion conversion

I sold my 1998 Z28 Camaro. It had a 408 stroker motor built to take a ton of nitrous, turbo 400 transmission, 12 bolt rear end.... All and all I put almost $20,000 in the car. But it is a 10 second quarter mile car daily driver (on motor). I never got it to the track on nitrous before I sold it, only tuned it a little and did a few test runs in the street before I sold it.
Thats one of the reasons I sold the car, to keep myself out of trouble. That and I got tired of constantly working on it.

I sold my 92 Harley FXRP to buy the YJ.
The one that hurts was selling my 1970 SS 454 Chevelle to buy the Harley. Still regret that decision to this day.

I sold a mint 2001 Audi TT Quattro with tasteful mods for just enough to step into an 01 Sahara. Wanted a jeep badly.

My problem is i did not sell any of mine. My fleet just keeps growing...
  I love the YJ for mudding... the TJ for street and when the brothers/mother comes down for winter visits they can drive it. I kept the 2002 AV its not going any place even if its dry docked for a while But now gas is down so I can drive it more often. But I digress.   old picture of my 02 AV but is a Z71

Sold my '91 S-10 Blazer, and sold it for way less than I should have. The thing had body rot in some places and I can't remember if it was a salvage title or not... But I put it up for $900 and it was sold the next day. The Jeep was free, but I was living at home and couldn't have two cars, so it went bye-bye. I have a place in my heart for those 1st generation S series, but love my Jeep much more

I bought my dad's 80 Caballero (El Camino), got it running, cleaned it up, and sold it for a small profit. Built 350, posi-traction rear, a real bear!
Had a few dimes left from that when I ran across a deal on my 87 YJ. Now I'm broke again and still need stuff to get my rig done! The Cabby! Here's a clip:  A pic:
