I hope this isn't a repost...

You know you are addicted to 1st gen neons when....

10 - You say the word "headgasket" in conjunction with the word "neon" more than 1 time per week.
9 - You think that Plymouth had a slight horsepower edge.
8 - Your first no money mod was removing the weather stripping on the edge of the hood for better air flow under the hood.
7 - Someone says 3.55 or 3.94 in math class and you laugh as you're doing your tranny swap this coming weekend.
6 - You have made or bought a cluster to make your dash look "newer".
5 - You have gone to ebay once in the past week and searched "neon 1st gen".
4 - Your idea of a hobby is fixing your neon. It's also the chore you have to do one the weekends so you can get to work the rest of the week.
3 - You understand the term "bumper sag" all too well. Better part is you know it cannot be fixed with a bra.
2 - You have a cold air intake that was made with only 3 parts: 3.0L intake, cone filter, and *lots* of duct tape.

And the number one reason you know you're addicted to first gens is?

1 - You bought a 1st gen to fix up, and have been fixing it for more than 6 years straight. However, it has never gotten fixed for more than a month at a time.

duh...ghetto fabulous ones!!

 

I know that this is an older post, but boy, it's the truth!

 

So true, especially the Ebay search one, and the Headgasket, the Headgasket joke just hurts lol.

 

I have neon running through my veins!!!! mopar or no car. I own a 95 dodge neon sport, a 98 intrepid and a 97 avenger.

 

lol im fixing mine to get to work the rest of the week now.

 

A good portion of that list actually fits for me with the '88 Daytona Shelby Z I had as I put more than $8,500 in it for just repairs, though it was a very high mileage car when I bought it.

 

aww i didnt want to know that sometimei n the future img oing to have to change my headgasket
but i visit and order stuff often on ebay

 

yeah you are going to have to change that gasket at some point. Make sure you get an MLS one while your doing that you should install a new water pump too. at some point that will go on you too. I just got done the day before yesterday wiring up my down stream 02 sensor. some how it got fryed so I had to strip some of the wiring and re hook it up. while I was done there I Noticed that my oil plug had some leakage. I would have fixed that but I didn't have any oil around and I would have had to take the car down to go get some and I was just tired at that point.
