Congrats man!

thanks :)

Wow, that sounds cool, and it is always neat to get something that everyone has written off working again. What kind of car did you get running again?

It was a 1998 pontiac sunfire, so a shitty little car, but it was something to do

I remember those old Pontiac Sunfires, and I am shocked that you would take the time to get one of those running again. Was there something special of the Pontiac that you had salvaged? I am most partial towards the old Pontiac Sunbirds, especially those from the late 1980s when those things had sunroofs. Those were sweet looking cars though I think those things might have had mechanical issues.

not really, i was just bored and decided to take some time and work on it and got it running, and i had a 1991 sunbird up until a week ago, when i sold it, it wasnt a bad car, but had no need for it. But mechanicaly it seemed ok, iv had worse.

Haha! While a lot of folks collect Hot Wheels or Matchbox to get different types of cars you seem to have a bunch of the real things!

I do remember the 1991 Pontiac Sunbirds with sunroofs, and those cars were really beautiful even by today's standards. It is really too bad that GM did not continue to build cars like that vehicle because it offered affordable convertibles to the mass public, and it was a good competitor to the the Chrysler LeBaron of those days. Now that I think about it, I cannot think of many convertibles on the market with the exception of the Chrysler 200 and a couple of the high end European cars.

Was your Sunbird a convertible, or was it a regular car?

haha, ya iv got a few cars, and bikes and other motorized things

just a regular hardtop with a sunroof in it, if it woulda been a convertible, i might have kept it , but it was just a hardtop, so ya. and as for convertables on the market, there is the seabring by Chrysler and there are convertible mustangs too, and im sure dodge has something out there, but im not sure what it would be, mabey the Challenger.

Assuming you are in a rural area, then you definitely have the luxury of storing all of those items. I have seen other folks on here who are from farming areas who have converted old barns into garages which is pretty neat. Do you have a lot of space to store all of the vehicles and bikes you have collected?

Aw, it is too bad that your Sunbird was not a convertible! In light of the vehicle being a standard one I can understand why you sold it off.

I vaguely remember insurance rates for convertibles being higher than regular cars which is probably why automakers gradually moved away from them especially in light of the bad economy. Automakers clearly need to focus on meat and potato cars in this economy especially with so many people with cars pushing into the ten to eleven year range and needing to trade them in for something practical. With that being said I have noticed that some of the new Cadillacs and Lincolns have an interesting system in which the cars do have sunroofs that can open up from the driver's area all the way back to the passenger area making the vehicle seem kind of like a convertible without a folding roof if that makes sense. It is a pretty neat feature, and I never had seen sunroofs extend that far before.

iv got a 2 car garage and a old hanger, a small shed for the bikes and semi-covered outdoors area for storage, so iv got a little bit of space.

ya, and it was to new for me XD im more ofa fan of older cars

ya they are higher, and im paying 600 a month so ya, cant afford to insure to many vehicles xP. and ya iv seen thos too, i forget what they are called. but ya its cool some of the stuff they are comeing up with to put into vehicles. even tho some of them were invented years ago, but just wernt put in.
