91 is far from rare. There were 3693 VR4's made in 91. The only year with more was 92 at 4947. There were more VR4's made in 91 and 92 than all other years combined.
My 94 base Stealth is 1 of 2 from the VIN. I have no clue what makes it so special. The stock color was rare but other than that its a base Stealth that had tan cloth seats.
Of course now its 1 of a kind but thats another story.

Not a mechanic by trade. I do all my own work and occasionally work on other peoples cars.

My God, my mechanics skills have quadrupled, maybe quintupled in the last 6 years.

Me too...beh, real drunk. Hopefully CL8 can tell me I shouldn't drink after some mid-terms, a friend dying, and countless other things...because then I would seriously turn my thoughts around.
EDIT: BTW, I have ABRNORMAL hear murmur so I don't plan on living past 40 as anyone else in family has that has had this same condition...plus, I probably have way too much fun to live that old anyway.

Re: 3000gt's/Stealth very own off topic thread: Part Quatre
Well, here is a little shot of some of my birthday fun...I already drank and threw away all my New Castle though.
BTW Autostrada, working on Sat or Sunday mornings is always a bad thing. Eh, I had to work last night until 10pm.

Re: 3000gt's/Stealth very own off topic thread: Part Quatre
jesus. . . thats a lot of drank
but on another note, ive been looking through my service manual and also around under the hood for things i dont need, and im stumped. are there any superfluous parts you can lose for weight/cleanliness purposes?
edit: ive already removed the spare, the jack, the cd player, and all the plastic tray things that were down there with it. im debating about whether or not to remove the rear tow hooks. . . would that be a bad idea?

Re: 3000gt's/Stealth very own off topic thread: Part Quatre
Unless you have AAA leave the spare and the jack in the car. I also suggest leaving the tow hooks.
If you break down and have to be pulled on rear first you will have no where to hook too.
If the car is a daily driver then weight reduction is a stupid idea.
If you want to remove a bunch of stuff before you go to the track then so be it, but driving around with a lot of stuff removed in a daily driver is bordering on ricey,

Not sure what you mean by turning your thoughts around, I sure don't blame you for wanting to escape the pain and torment some of lifes events bring.
May God have mercy on your soul if those things are happening to you.
I have learned to face and tackle lifes distresses head on without alcohol or drugs ( alcohol could have killed me if I drank it with medicine I was prescribed growing up)

In that case I hope you have read and taken heed to the quote in my signature and have trusted Christ as your personal Savior in full faith and repentance of sin so you will be ready to meet God when you die!
