Photoshopped. Tripod is a must. One pic with the hood closed and another open. Layer the open on top (I believe it's the open; been awhile since I did it) and adjust transparency. Just wished that since I now know it worked, that I would have picked a different angle. I was just messing around, but I suppose I can do it again after I get more of the exterior stuff taken care of.

Why a Neon? Don't like the now-older model Focii. Tend to have problems more often than not, based on several people I know that have them. Didn't care too much for the looks of the 4-door either.

Also have a lifted '86 Bronco 4x4 with a 5.0L H.O. EFI and a newly acquired '97 Olsmobile Achieva (got it for free). To give credit where credit is due...that Olds has some power for a V6!

I agree the chev V6 has a bit of grunt, sadly its only a matter of time till it starts sucking coolant, but hey price is right huh?

Reminds me I need to drain the Dex Cool. The intake manifold, I/M gasket and other engine gaskets have already been replaced; I'd assume from the awesome GM coolant. It had almost $2,000 worth of work done just a bit before we got it. Didn't want to start spending money on it until it passed smog, which it did. Working on some other essentials first like replacing the burnt out bulbs and the ready to break serpentine belt. I need to flush and fill the coolant on the Neon too. I guess I just need to make a day of it...

Ya I started out like most people with a big lifted gas guzzlin chevy had a few diff chevy 4WD before I bought the 4runner (had plans to turn it into a chevoda) but I fell in love with the 22re and the running gear and now I've come to love Toyota's, I actually have one more toyota or what used to be a 96 Toyota tacoma that I've turned into a buggy, I've got some old pics of it but its tore down right now in storage back in Oregon, ill get them off my other comp tomarrow and post them.

You do any wheeling with that bronco of yours? Never owned a bronco but have gwen a lot of friends with broncos and bronco 2s die hard trucks they are, the highest I ever flew in a truck was in a 78 bronco.
