looking for a car (or two)......@ $0- $400 bux

Only requirement is fully functional drivetrain..must run!

Why?
Might sound really dumb to some of yall..but for fun. Me and my friends wanna beat the crap out of them. hope your not centimentally attached to it cuz it will be totalled and a couple months. jumping, curbing, crashing, lots of off roading, and whatever else we come up with for fun.
as you can see were really board this summer


Ideal would be something tough like a crown vic, caprice malibo, but whatever works it cool. it can have body damage... obviously not picky.


plan on filming it as well. LMAO

Got the perfect vehicle for you...81 Datsun 810 wagon. Pics on the bottome of the page. Runs ok, good enough to run into crap. RWD too.

i thought you were supposed to do this with your daily driver?

snow + young x double stupid = $1000 bent front end on 3 week old car.

was doing e-brake 180's, and then rolling backwards, then e-braking back around to going forward. oops. curb. DOH.

NOT good. i pulled both front tires off the rims in a Sand pit in Sanford, Maine once. i was rough on that car

okay, -edit- after more thoughts about that car.

--a reverse cookie - cranks wheels all way to one side, let'er rip. in dirt, it will pivot on the inside rear tire & donut.

--J strips - go REALLY fast backwards (~50mph/redline) and then work it gently into first gear, **** wheels to one side, and redline & drop clutch. spins backswards to one side, then reverse steering wheel to otherside when stops going back, and make the other (going forward) blackmarks the back of the J.

-- you can "spin the belts" out of the tires on a FWD car, and throw the alignment off, you have to just swap the front tires to make it quit pulling to one side. most tires stores don't charge the first time.

Maybe I'm slow but that made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. Are you saying that you did all this stuff when you were young?

yep. it was dumb, but there are only a few really fun tricks to do in a FWD car with no real power.

the *** part was to turn them slightly, i used a bad word.

oh well. just part of growing up.

have you never seen a J strip, and wondered how someone did it?
it looks like an actual "J"
