07 Mustang GT
I don't own it but I drove it as much, if not more than the owner over the last few years. It got me a trophy at nationals this year!
This pic is from the Lincoln Pro Solo.

87 Chrysler Conquest
I don't have it anymore but I will buy it back if the current owner wants to sell it.

Definately! :twisted: My R33 was also a GTS-4. Glad I sold it before the feds went after all of them. :shock:

Just got it. Apparently if you have a weird car you want to sell I am the guy to call. :? :lol:

I like how there is a write-up in that link on how to change the oil :shock:

I had those in 1 piece. those would fit on a xr too. those early RX-7's had the same lug pattern just smaller lug bores.

they are "Compomotive" right or "Works" ?

They're a 3 piece wheel from Compomotive but they won't fit the XR.

That car is just a GS so it has a 4x110 bolt pattern.

Just wait until you go to change the oil for the first time and you're like, "WTF is the oil filter on this thing!?" :?

Right now we've got three in the stable:

My '89 Scorpio:

My wife Carrie's '89 Scorpio:

And our family hauler, a 2005 Kia Sedona:

Up until recently we also had a 1991 Saab 900S, but unfortunately that car has since departed. Right now I'm in the market to add a super-economical commuter car to our driveway, perhaps something along the lines of a Geo Metro/Suzuki Swift or Honda CRX.

How did you do that without hitting something to lift the car. I too am a fellow Quest Owner, I am on my fourth at this point. Don't let your friends drive your cars! LOL

I will post some pics in this post when I get home but I am up to 11 at the moment and still looking to get an Austin healey roller.
