Joe Dirt's Wedgie

*lynchy wa* · 01-25-2011, 06:22 PM

I'll have to sort my green card

I'll run the bar and bounce, and we can get a couple of lovelies to wait tables and we can call it 'The Dirty Beach Track-Shack'

I actually lived for 5 years about 6 miles from the Trenton Engine plant where they built the Chrysler 3.8L 215HP variable intake engine. Small world! In 2001, the 3.8L engine got a Variable Intake System which boosted output to 215 hp (160 kW) at 5000 rpm with 245 ft·lbf (332 N·m) of torque at 4000 rpm. Not bad for a millenium minivan!

I stopped reading here (at the quote). Too many posts in a short amount of time.

Hmm... Jeeps have a 3.8L 215 Horespower Engine. I beleive the wrangler, wrangler unlimited, and liberty have those engines.

Skippy?!

Joe, here's an idea for a new(er) caravan. Go for some bitchin 20" wheels!

*techieman33* · 01-25-2011, 09:43 PM

20's are so 2000's, you need at least 24's to be cool now

*Joe Dirt* · 01-25-2011, 09:48 PM

You're all just jealous.

*Joe Dirt* · 01-25-2011, 09:50 PM

How about...

I like how he left the carseat in the picture.

You have to Joe it's all about the street cred. The dudes on the internets would laugh at him for not putting donks on a caprice or impala, the car seat just manages to keep it acceptably cool

*Joe Dirt* · 01-25-2011, 10:11 PM

Nice color too. I have to say that the deep wedgewood blue did in fact grow on me. I was never a fan of blue cars, but I'd get another one. Even though it's a little lighter, That van is- as us street toughs say- "the straight dope" you know you'd buy one. Don't even front. I could wax the shiznit out of it.

Ok, maybe not a street tough, but those rims, er, rimz- are fresh.

*techieman33* · 01-25-2011, 10:15 PM

That stock roof rack is pretty dope, but the one that was put on yours is just plain beyond comparison.

*lynchy wa* · 01-25-2011, 10:20 PM

Well snizzle ma pizzle, that dizzizle is da bomizzle

*Joe Dirt* · 01-25-2011, 10:20 PM

lol!

You said "dope" and Lynchy replied. P.C.P. is the problem, not the cure! I learned something today...

*NHarris* · 01-25-2011, 10:21 PM

Joe, one for you!

*Joe Dirt* · 01-25-2011, 10:23 PM

Respect the van- you're g'd right!

*lynchy wa* · 01-25-2011, 10:50 PM

If you dont have to sell Wedgie keep her!!! Your son will get his license in less than 10 years so it would be the perfect first car...

*Joe Dirt* · 01-25-2011, 10:58 PM

Good point. Maybe I should stay with something I know. Auntie Em will be upset if that Ex doesn't move on though! lol!

*NHarris* · 01-25-2011, 11:07 PM

Joe, don't wedge a 3rd vehicle in the garage, park your toyota outside.

After all it is a Toyota!

Kidding.

I know how OCD car cleaners (I am one [not to the extent that joe is]) can't stand a car outside.
