Went to island last night with the family to hang with my friend Nathan for a bit... He just got he talon back running... Was running 10s last night but should go faster when he gets it sorted

Plenty of diesels there now, this one was running low 11sView attachment 96528

You know Nathan? I used to buy parts from him on NJDSM.COM and his website. I met him once (and his grandpa) at his place in Blairstown. That reminds me I need to make the GST road worthy again...

I guess not all DSMs are in scrap yards. This one was seen in the way back from VT.

I don't think we met in person. I had the same nick there, what was yours? Wait, was it Utah Joe and you had a GVR4 ?

Not all of them. This one is in my 'personal' scrap yard. I can't even remember the time my garage was that empty...

non running dsm on one side, boxes of parts on the other....that looks about right. ;)

My screen name was the same, but the only DSM I had was a 90 talon for a while...I didnt have it that long, maybe 8 months. It was not a good use of funds while still in college :) I used to drive Nate's white GVR4 to the shootout and island...occasionally his EVO or when he had it, his Neon SRT4.

Actually the car is running, it drove on its own power from Clifton to my garage in Ringwood when I moved. I am planning to resume it as my daily once I manage to install the carpet back in and seal the rear window.

Best of both worlds, driving a DSM while not paying for the bills!

Then we were leaving and my son said, dad is that a convertible Dodge Dakota?!

I guess it is and we checked its legit as I expected it to be one of those fake landau covers. At least it had a roll bar unlike the convertible Emoji Miata i saw at the shore last weekend

If you drive a 91 MB SEL you should legally be able to snort coke off the dash.

Pretty much. I need a set of alligator shoes and dress in all white. Crap, I need to go buy white shorts tomorrow.

After Saturday's event I will. I've kept the car in storage forever, only uncovering it to work on things. Air-Ride wasn't installed in time for the show, so it will be 100% stock.
