Cj5 — Whats to be said? It was a fiberglass CJ5 with a small block out of a wrecked 85 Corvette. It had the potential to wheelie-over backward because the departure angle would let it. Had to get rid of it because it wouldn't pass emission inspection.

Pros: Coolest car in the high school parking lot by far

Cons: Syncros were going and PA inspections got the best of me

Fun! — If you like convertibles, mud, and climbing straight up mountains this is the vehicle for you. It has an AMC 304 V8 engine. 6 inch lift, 35 inch tires, posi-traction front and rear.

Pros: 4 Wheelin, kids love it, strong power, reliable,

Cons: Is there one?
