Welp, shes gone folks.. I was hoping to hold on a little longing to her for some more parts, but the landlord is selling the place, so it had to go asap. I still have many parts i pulled off the car still available in my for sale thread though..

 

that pic makes me almost as sick as it seems to make you...

sorry she had to go.

 

 

I don't agree with your decision.. If it were rusted out or had severe damage then I would. But that was a pretty damn clean green VE. They aren't exactly plentiful..

 

Think about it...nearly 350k on the engine/chassis/some major rust forming on the rear left strut tower and both rear door quarters/transmission locking up on me every other day yet again/ paint fading like a ****..VS. a super clean vg with 130k/no rust at all/no major mechanical problems...



you make the call..

 

Still though. Good times yah?
Lots of learning with that car

 

sad to see it going..u got a big heart greeny lol....i wouldnt sell my VE even after i got into trouble from my parents for this car sitting in the driveway doing ntn as i m driving tbird now...but i think i will never sell my VE i will rebuild it..its jus a passion lol....well wut u have explained about wat ur car is getting into and u dont wanna spend money on it then i think u made a good call

 

Didn't know it was rusting out. In that case, I guess it's justified.. Still sucks to know that it's about to get crushed, body looks pretty dang clean in the pics.

 

Meh, the body is "decent", but in no way nice. It had plenty of dents, none of which i wanted to fix ..

All in all, the decision to dump the ve had many factors. Rust, mileage, maintenance, along with my longed waning desire to have a manual car as a daily driver. I've had manual cars as a d/d basically my whole life, with a few exceptions in between, it's nice nowadays to just pop it in "D" and take off ... I dunno, i guess it's part of growing older(for me anyway)..

I wouldn't mind having a manual car again as a joyride toy, but never again as my D/D..

 

You'll get bored of auto and want to go back to manaul again...you know its true.

 

inb4 5 spd swap post on teh vg

You know you wanna

 

 

Sorry to see her go. Times are changing...

 

did you leave the old bumper rubbers on the car??
for 350K...it did well.

LMK when i should change your user name?

 

lol, actually i sold the headlight bumper thingies to a member..They were in nearly perfect shape..

To be honest, I'm glad the damn thing is gone, i was sick of looking at it all tore down. And hearing the landlord bitaching about it sitting there all the time.. Can't really blame him though, it was an eyesore..

No name change, I'm kinda used to this one..

 

I have some carnage pics

anyone wanna see them?

 

wait...you mean you couldn't have it on the front yard on jack stands?!?! c'mon that's par for the course in TN!!!
so it's a foreign car they look down on it as a lawn ornament?!?

 

I still have one more maxima..

 

yeah but that "runs"...right?

 

well yeah, but the green one did also before i parked it..

 

i'm sure your neighbor's 83 firebird on their lawn w/ the missing rear axle ran at one point in time too.

 

For the last time, it's an 86 firebird!!

 

Is it ok to think of it as MyGreenMax94, and your current Greeny?

Just saying. :P

That car looks good. There are a lot of ext parts you could use for your VG. But oh well.
Be proud, you raised a good car.

post'em...

 

is it a tiny cube of metal now?

 

check ot..

Yep..

 

3rd gen killer

 

pic of the cube?

 

amidoinitrite?

 

i forgot, i was a killer too (but this car was already half killed by someone else)

 

I killed a Buick and a Jeep...that's about it...does blowing up two snowmobile motors count?

 

i think my parts car looks worse as it sits than greeny's car does as a cube of metal... tru story

 

How many Maxima's are in this photo?
2 clearly...but what are those across the road? Maxima's as well, or some kind of American car I dont recognise ?

 

I was thinking that the green/dark one on the other side of the road was a maxima, don't know about the white one..

 

I feel for you. Like if had to let my 1991 max go had for 5 years. Lots of sentimental value some good memories thank god she is in my garage safe and sound.

 

the one across is a Chrysler and the one next to it i can't make out what it is?

 

I'll go with a 2000ish Malibu/Cutlass?
