yeah i said 150 lol. the motor runs strong and the odometer show 650000 and it works. and not only that but it gets amazing gas mileage... yeah and i already do get those looks, like alot. girls laugh and guys fly by me, and i just laugh.

Here's the piece o crap I just got for 200 dollars for my winter/commuting beater (it's nice because anything from any jeep cherokee will fit on it up until 1993-model year). The one I got is a 2-door Cherokee Pioneer 5-spd 4wd (good luck finding a 2-door) Excuse the trailer park, that was where I picked it up from

well its a 6 cyl, not sure on the engine size, and its a 5 speed. i haven't really added up my mpg, but the tank on this is the same size as the cobby and it stays fuller longer than the cobalt did when i was driving that, and i don't beat the **** out of my balt all the time.

Thanks...Not that I really want to be driving my lowered, clean, KDW wearing Cobey all winter, but I have a motor and tranny swap that my performance shop guru is working with me on. She going to be a bit of a sleeper that's for sure. Let's just say that the letters and number LQ9 might come into play.
