So I recently purchased a 1991 GTI, and I want to put some vanity european license plates on the front and back. If I have these plates on, and also my Colorado ones, can I get in trouble? What are the requirements for my Colorado plate? I am thinking I will either zip tie them to the bumpers...

For basic info please refer to craigslist posting: http://denver.craigslist.org/car/180984464.html I am selling it because I just don't need a Lightning anymore, and can't justify it sitting in my driveway. Price is negotiable. E-mail with any questions/comments! Thanks! Kevin...

Me! :fm: :bash: :( :whine: :cuss: :shrug: :cryying: Took my truck to high school drags today, got in 4 runs. I ran quite possibly the slowest time possible in a Lightning. In my defense, the track is at about 6,000 feet above sea level, and another lightly modded Lightning there was...

I'm going for my first time at a drag strip (to race) tomorrow and I was wondering what tips you guys had. How should I heat up the tires and launch? O/D off right? TIA

What would it take to make a newer Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab long bed faster than one of our L's? This one club that was following us around last friday had a guy that was talking a lot of shit with a 1500 ram that he kept saying would spank any of our cars. It was loud and he could squeal the...

Got nailed for 82 in a 65 today. Cop was cool, I'm not denying I did it and I take full responsibility. He showed me the laser gun and that was that. I was just wondering what is the best thing for me to do in court, if possible without a lawyer?

So, as you may have guessed, this thread will be about the new 06 Volkswagen GTI. Just traded in the 04 Mustang GT for one yesterday, and I must say.... this is the sweetest DD I have ever had. It's got great power, great handling, and the gas mileage puts my Lightning to shame. It rides so...

Would my 02 L have 12mm lug nuts or 14mm? It's a bit chilly outside and I don't want to go on a hunt through the garage to find some metric sockets.

I'm getting a service engine soon light. I was wondering if anyone knew what it could be. The truck seems to be having trouble starting up, and sometimes trouble idling. I don't have a clue as to what is wrong because my car knowledge is very limited. I know I should take it to someone, but...

The Story: Today we were cleaning out the house to get it ready to put on the market. We collected a good chunk of things to take to Good Will. Load up the Lightning, and head out. Everything is going great and I'm testing out my new sound system scaring old women and small children. Just...

How safe is it to just have a 4# pulley on these trucks? I know I'll need to tune it, but do I need to take it somewhere or can I use one of the hand held tuner things? Also, it will probably need to come off for warranty work (if needed) right?

My father is looking at a 2004 Cobra, Triple Black at a nearby dealership. 19,xxx miles, Price is ~$32k. Is that too high for that mileage? Is that average or a lot of miles? Seems kinda high to me. Anyone else bought a cobra at about this mileage and had it for a while? Curious as to how...

Is it possible to even order a GT500 yet? If not, anyone know when it will be?

Does your truck pull to the right, constantly, no matter where in the road you are, or which lane you're in? I have noticed that my truck always pulls slightly to the right untless I'm on a slanted road with the lower side being the left side. No matter if I'm in the oncoming lane (only the...
