If the 1.8L stock engine isn't enough they do have a 302 V8 conversion kit that makes it fit right in there with minor mods. Does a respectfull 1/4 mile in 12.8 sec, 0-60 4.8 sec hang on.

I'm guessing you can kiss the 50/50 weight distribution goodbye with a smallblock in there

 

Fun car, but still a chick car...

Drive one before you speak.

Agreed. That's like saying the Murano is only for older people going on their golf outings or for a capuccino. Around here I see tons of older people driving them, but at the ripe age of 21 I bought my MO and enjoyed every second of it.

 

So far my miata has not given me any problems...

I bought it used. It is the NB model, with low milage when i bought it. Most miata are driven as short distance urban medium highway commute and weekend cars.Easy to find one with low milage.

Regular maintenance like oil filter change, coolant flush, transmission fluid flush, air filter replaced, break pads, balancing/alignment, new tires and rotation.
This car is so easy to work on, you can do it yourself or most independent mechanics can do it.

I think it is a good addition to the murano.They compliment each other well.

 

Best $5K car I have ever owned and at my age I have owned many!

 

this is not mine, but my dad's....he's so proud...

 

Mmmmm... Love the Z in blue! I tell my wife she should get one and we can swap! She just needs a car allowance instead of a company car...

 

Still mine at the moment, but probably going to be sold by the end of the weekend, thanks to craigslist!

Talk about power/weight ratio ...106HP/705Lbs Dry.
It's fast.... but V-rod is faster

...and costs nearly twice as much.

OK, it's more fun than fun... Still not as much fun as it should be.

But don't the chicks dig it? (Right you are Ken!)

Hey, I forgot mine, all this time...

Here is one of my other vehicles. One more picture is coming.

 

And my other one.

 

St Loui MO, nice rides is that a Lightning? What years?

 

Under consideration....

 

St Loui MO, nice rides is that a Lightning? What years?

Thanks. Yes that is a 2001 Lightning and the vette is a 99.

 

Thought the picture of my other ridet deserved to be upgraded. The "Greatest Car I Ever Owned" 2005 Phaeton! Full time 4 Mortion all wheeel drive, Z2 rated tires. You name it, it's got it, including removal of the governer. Have a photo showning one doing 176mph on the Autobaun. Here pictured out in front of my "Simple Old Homestead". In a fitting acommidation I have added a Refigerator in the trunk with it's opening between the rear seats so that when you pull down the center rear arm rest and then the lid to the cooler you can reach right in an get your Ice Cold one. Also added a triple Aux in that switches like the Button on the Mo does for XM Sat, Ipod and Laptop Audio. The laptop has software loaded to control and read out the vehicles many parameters and options in real time thru the CAN connection. Grip.

Don,

congratulations! Who would think that you would name VW "greatest car you have ever owned". And you selected it over MB etc. What the world is comming to.....I guess there is too much perception.

Enjoy the drive (and the cooler!)

When did grip update his other ride. I went back and looked at it and it is a beautiful ride but cannot tell when the update was done. Grip do you still have the MB as well???
