Are they all full of air??

I've had a few hatchbacks before switching over to the trunk models, a real solid hatch OR trunk model is getting harder and harder to find... That is why I am hanging onto the two trunk model rollers (79 and 85)...
There is a real serious inherent rust issue where the front suspension (K member) mounts to the unibody... REAL Serious, my 89 cop car is totally rusted away at 300k miles, time for major surgery...
I do like them, the suspension works well for drag or road course with very little work... At least as fast as I ever wanna go :)
Your FIRST car was an '89 ? Geeeeeezus, my first car when I was in High School was a '30 Model A coupe! Comments like yours make me think some Boy Scout is gonna try to help me cross the street! I know I can't be the oldest guy here on the boards, but an '89 as a first car is downright inconceiveable on a few levels to me.
Well Spike, BEFORE Ole GN7 BOB left us you weren't the oldest guy here if that makes you feel any better ;) kidding............ RIP Bob G. N 7 ... :smilies_mit_hut002:
I just turned 54, technically my first was a 71 Grande trunk model (at least I think it was a Grande) but I didn't really like or claim that one EXCEPT for the fact that it could out handle any of the older mustangs we owned (alas it went bye bye)... I claim the 67 drop top that I own as my REAL first car, thats pretty darn cool that your first was a 30 coupe!
To your previous previous post, check out my 1980 SANGZILLA rolling on the O.E. Gillette bias tires O.E. chrome reverse rims... ;)

Don't know if I can even count them? i'm surprised you guys could with all that rolling stock around.
Suburban - 5 (Yeah, I carry spares)
Dually - 7
'63 Chevy Wagon - 5
'49 Dodge (one owner) - 4
Funny Car - 4 (with lots of spares)
4 boat trailers - all tandem - 18
28' Enclosed trailer - 5
44' Enclosed trailer - 7
36' Fifth wheel trailer - 5
22' Flat bed trailer - 5
30' Flat bed car hauler - 5
Polaris Ranger Crew - 4 + 4 off road tires/wheels
Now, I'm not even going to count riding lawn mowers w/dump trailers, walking tiff mowers, power washers, compressors, bar-b-ques, wheel barrows, tillers, etc. that are all on inflated tires.
82 not including spares and wheelbarrows carts etc.
Who says we have any? Hats don't count, right?

At work, there's usually a few engines at any given time that are naturally aspirated and injected, but what I own out in my garage, is a matched set of early Hilborns ( on the Mortician ) that does it for me...Attachment 67860Attachment 67861

Buzzz, Paul and I are rather fond of stack injectors as that's what we started with. The learning curve was a bit steep but the education was invaluable.

For various reasons, we converted some of the powerplants to hats:

Oh yeah, everything they power had tires too but I didn't bother to count them because they are replaced too often. :D
