We all do it, you get the itch to start something new. It may never happen, but for the next 2 weeks you're going to prowl craigslist and check out prices on parts. Frothing at the mouth and fantasizing of a new project. Who knows, maybe one day it'll actually happen! ... probably not. I'm curious to see what's on everyone's mind and who might actually go through with it. Most likely, this thread will be a place for the projects you think would be cool, but not worth it.
I'll start. The other day I rode in a wrangler for the first time. My girlfriend's sister has a beautiful red TJ X. 6 speed manual with the AMC straight 6 4 liter and minty. We went topless to downtown Roanoke and riding in the back seat was fantastically frightening. I absolutely love how simple they are (besides endless electrical nightmares in JKs). I mean it's just a frame, two solid axles, an engine, and some seats with 4 speakers. It actually rode very well too. Now I've been poking around CL looking for cheap ones and fantasizing about grabbing one on the cheap and throwing some 33's on it.
Edit: Lol, checked prices on a TJ Rubicon and they're ~15k for average mileage on an 11 year old car at the newest. M tax? Meet Jeep tax.
