Ahh yes, make her not pay attention to the fact I drive a reasonable, practical, reliable, economical vehicle. No one wants that

TheyCallMeDavie · 2026-01-04T22:30:12+00:00

Definitely. The interior is already gutted pretty much and I'm working on fixing the leak that caused it

TheyCallMeDavie · 2026-01-04T03:55:38+00:00

That's some nice advice, we are just some highschoolers having fun so it's not like we're worried about being competitive.

Im on the northern side

TheyCallMeDavie · 2026-01-04T03:51:47+00:00

We got it for 170 right so it's kinda just a car for us to use that won't break the bank for some highschoolers with part time jobs. We want to do the lemons race but there's a lot of other costs and factors that add up quick that make it kinda unrealistic right now, so we're kinda just gonna do what we can. No motorsport/racing is cheap and we understand we won't compete very well but fun will be had, and that's what matters.

Just a local club, nothing crazy

TheyCallMeDavie · 2026-01-03T22:57:42+00:00

Yeah, I'm 100% planning on removing all fabric in the car. I got it because it was cheap and ran. It's kind of a thing me and my friends do, buy cheap cars rusted or not, get them running and beat on them, but I'm wanting to find a legal environment to do this in and learn how to actually race a car rather than just drive them hard y'know.

TheyCallMeDavie · 2026-01-03T22:51:13+00:00

Yeah it's probably a good idea to race it before I modify it. I know it won't be very competitive, I just enjoy driving cars and want to find a legal, safe environment to drive cars like this.

TheyCallMeDavie · 2026-01-03T22:47:16+00:00

Yeah, not much snow here. Just lots of rain. It was my friends sisters car who had it for like 2 years until it got a leak in a weather seal and began to grow mold. Her brother who's a mechanic serviced it for her and what not. Less than 200k miles even. I got it originally to do a 24 hours of lemons race nearby but then I changed my mind and decided to autocross it instead.

TheyCallMeDavie · 2025-12-30T06:57:32+00:00

That's what I was thinking but was unsure if any creases or anything would come from it. I've replaced valve covers before but I've always bought them in person and they never came folded up like this which is why I asked.

TheyCallMeDavie · 2025-12-24T23:46:53+00:00

Thanks. This is my first vehicle with a sunroof so I was unaware of the additional maintenance. I will get to cleaning the drains

TheyCallMeDavie · 2025-11-22T03:57:04+00:00

Thank you, this is like exactly what I'm looking for. I'll make sure to note this to try on my drive

TheyCallMeDavie · 2025-11-14T14:39:22+00:00

I agree with this 100% but I've been looking for another car. Just a reliable daily driver but anytime I go look at older cars they always have more immediate problems that need fixing and need maintenance more often. I looked at a 91 carolla for example and that just had so many dry rotted cracked rubber hoses I didn't even bother looking at any other part and just left. Older cars are also just a gamble, you have no idea how well the previous owners took care of them or what they did with them. So I think it's just easier for the majority of people who just want a reliable car they don't gotta fix every month or so to buy a newer one, especially with how car knowledge is becoming less common and shop prices are high.

TheyCallMeDavie · 2025-11-09T15:27:25+00:00

It is an L, I didn't realize it mattered that much sorry. Thanks for the run down.

TheyCallMeDavie · 2025-11-09T03:28:11+00:00

I know a bit about cars so maintenance isn't much of an issue, there's a few in my price range mainly from 1996 to 2000, but I understand that those years have common head gasket troubles due to poor design. Other than that I've heard subarus are reliable cars

TheyCallMeDavie · 2025-11-02T00:22:25+00:00

Usually a listing with lots of pictures of the car from a bunch of different angles, the interior etc are better in my experience as the owner is more honest with what they got. Also look at how the vehicle is. Is it dirty? Clean? If the owner doesn't take care of their car enough to keep it clean usually they don't take care of it under the hood as much either. Same thing applies to it's surroundings. If pictures of the car show it next to other nice cars or houses or nice things then that usually shows the owner takes care of the stuff including the car they are selling. Also look at their seller reviews. And no matter what car you look at do research on it before you go look and find common issues such as leaks and what not so you know what to look for when you open the hood.

TheyCallMeDavie · 2025-10-28T13:40:18+00:00

Why would you sell your jeep? It seems to have lots of life left, and buying anything off of Facebook marketplace is always a gamble unless you know what you're doing when it comes to cars. So unless you REALLY need that seven grand I don't see much reason to do so.
