Sumabeatch could go though anything!! I have pics with me in water up to the window and such. I gotta scan them pics!

This Jeep is a fricken tank though man. Just last year I had a T-Bone me in his BMW Z-3 Roadster. His car fell apart and mine had this small dent in it and nothing else. Could barely notice the damage.

I've been thinking about this for some time. Occasionaly a member would
mention his vehicle, so I thought.. what to heck. Besides, I had just finished
cleaning up my truck.... good time, no ?
Don't understand you having so much trouble with salt air. I live eight miles
from the ocean. Maybe the salt air blows north or south ?

Country: | I dunno Charles, I'm only assuming. My car has more paint chips than Home Depot. As in the words of DI Ermey "Its a "F"ing modern art masterpiece" But it gets me where I'm going!

Country: | We got a 1996 escort station wagon that had 30,000 miles when we bought it from my wife's company for $1.00It was in almost new condition until a tree fell on it about a month later. A very big tree, it totaled out the cars on the boths of where we parked but we got the windshield replaced and beat the roof back into shape and replaced a door and the springs.
The car looks like it's been driving through a combat zone with dents all over it but we do park on the street in DC and I have been hit once with pretty good damage to the other car, and like Adler, I got out laughing....

Country:  | My dad had a Triumph Spitfire back the 70s, don't know which model.
I drive a '99 1.6 Litre Peugeot 206 XS. A whole 90 BHP! 0 - 60 in 11 seconds! Top speed 110 MPH and 35 MPG so it does me just fine.
Here's a picture of a XSi (16 valve) for those that don't know the 206 - obviously not mine - and the XSi looks exactly like the XS. Mines burnt orange, I'll get a picture soon if anyone's really bothered.
