for those driving, oh lets say black cars - if you haven't driven a bright coloured car, you learn very fast that you get noticed... because you never blend in.

my first car was yellow... which I later painted the factory orange...

1) put 25k on it
2)never changed the oil, just added some here and there
3)went off roading at 35 mph in the snow
4)floored it down a few blocks to get back home in reverse
5) just beat on it all the time
sounds familiar...

buddy of mine had one we use to off road with while baiting for deer during hunting season (best memories ever). it handled pretty well for going through a hay field at 60 mph with a bag of corn ratchet strapped to the trunk

the ebrake was constantly being pulled no matter the conditions (i dont even know how many sets of tires we flat spotted), and the car simply didnt have any quit in it (this all on a 250k mile automatic). the wiring in the headlights fried so we ended up just redoing the wiring for the headlights with toggle switches straight to the battery n yea.. definition of a true beater that never died.. its still going actually.. somehow...

haha thats awesome

well guys so far i've put ~15000 on my lsj, had it for about a year, now at 50000.

daily driven, daily beaten. still get on the gas at least once a day, usually multiple times. i'll whack it once i get going in 1st, many times pull through second because thats where these things gather ground the fastest, and oftentimes i'll pull through 3rd.

so far, still no real issues or issues that werent self induced had a little clutch slip but that stopped, gonna rplace my clutch soon anyway along with stage 2 axles... preventative maitenance

I go through a set of hard compound tires in about 8k miles. I've given up on buying grippy expensive tires with the rate at which I wear them. I can have just about as much fun (and sometimes more) with less grippy tires. I abuse the **** out of every aspect of the car to the fullest extent. braking, accelerating, shifting, downshifting, taking every turn I can at full tilt, drifting, trail braking. this car sees it all in just about every situation I have available. Basically, all the miles I put on it may as well be track miles.

-The stock transmission mounts turned to jello after having the car for like 5k miles.

-I boiled the dot3 brake fluid.

-The stock clutch slips with pretty serious repeated abuse.

These 3 items seem the be the main weak links of the car. Luckily, they fixed two out of 3 with the LNF. LNF still uses dot 3 though.
