Ok “probationary member” extrabones. Funny how none of the mods or wisemen who have been on this site for 20 years have had any issue with it. Who the hell are you?

4 out of your 5 vehicles on here are not DSM. Not even close. This is a website for DSM , not opening up the discussion for the other 80% cars you have that do not meet the criteria. If it's not DSM delete it please, it's borderline a slap in the face to the DSM community.

Did you happen to notice the location of this thread is "non dsm build journals"?

Thanks Paul. I don’t know the etiquette for this (I’m not really internet-savvy) but I thought people may want to see other projects. Also I’m proud of my work on my other cars and wanted to show them off too. Figured some may enjoy seeing.

Sorry, i did not realize that. You do not need to be rude. You are also probationary member. I will block you now good luck with the old cars. My advice: trade them all in and get 1 good car.

Dude, you came on my page and told me to delete my cars. Not as a mod or a longtime veteran but as a fellow newbie... Yeah, I’m going to be a little rude . And I saw you knocking another member’s father/son project build due to some smog stuff I couldn’t make sense of. That’s not cool.

I’m not trying to be a bi***, but my camaros are both pretty nice builds, completely rust free and in excellent shape inside and out. I also have another pickup that can be a daily driver when needed. But thanks for your $.02 .

Here’s why I haven’t been posting many updates on the laser:

I’ll post pics soon of her progress once everything’s sorted out.

Oh no! Hope everyone involved is okay.

Oh no! Hope everyone involved is okay.

16 year old girl tried to pull a quick left turn as I was going straight through a green light. Second vehicle I’ve had totalled in that way in two years. Everyone was fine.

Insurance totalled the the truck due to age and 300,000 miles (300,811 or so when totalled) so I bought it back and have the body all sorted out. Chasing a parasitic draw issue and I suspect a cracked up pipe but for its age, mileage, and the crash it went through, I’m shocked at how good everything is. The other car was completely crushed. Like roof caved in, engine pushed into the firewall, found the throttle body maybe 30 yards from the crash. Couldn’t bring myself to let with it because since bulletproofing at 212,000, the truck has needed oil changes and brake pads and literally nothing else. On all the original sensors, starter, transmission, etc basically. And with the price of diesels nowadays...

Oh yeah, you definitely made the right decision to save it. One of my friends bought a 2016 last year and I couldn’t believe what the prices were. Glad everyone was fine.
