From Corvette to Taco

Very nice list rides you have had experience in! When I pay off the Tacoma, I will be looking for a weekend autocrosser/cruiser. The GTO and Vette are definitely at the top of my list! Congrats on the new Tacoma! Buy some wheel spacers so you can put some bigger meats inside those wheel wells.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Thanks for the welcome! I normally stick to ATCO raceway in NJ for all my racing, and i never had the opportunity to road course the Vette unfortunately. Even though i bought the corvette at a good price, i couldnt really afford to put new tires and brakes on the car for track days, not to mention the fear of putting it into a wall, and insurance not covering it!

I plan on doing some wheels/tires and maybe a small lift. Nothing radical, just something a bit more aesthecially pleasing. After that my plan is to look for an 01-02 F-body (Camaro/Trans am) that i can buy cash, and race on the weekends. That way im not paying for a car to sit 90% of the time, and can still have some debt free fun

Thanks

 

THat's why ours is an old-folks cruiser!!
It's fun to take it on the back roads and blow off some steam.

It's bad enough, the previous owner drove the thing on dirt/rocky roads and the entire rockers are pitted. I can't even justify paying $6,000 for a new paint job. Someday.....

 

Yea my rockers were pretty tore up on the vette...pretty common really with how low they are. I miss mine, but love the taco, so I'm still happy
