:I pulled the front wheel drive running gear out of my neighbours Tempo, and put one of those blowers form mad max on it, and put it in my Grabber this morning. Also I took the rims off the and put train wheels on it boy does it ever go!!!!!!!!!!

I just love air shocks!! I wanted to get the rear-end as high as I could, so here is what I did:

: I put on a pair of 300 lbs air shocks. Before i put them on, it but on some 3" shock extenders to really get some height. I also but some 6" rear shackles on the leaf springs, and flipped the axle around to where it was under the springs. I even dropped the front end down 3 inches to give the appearance of a higher rear end. I then put on 16 inch rims with the tallest tires I could find (I think they were off an army truck).

: Anyways, my Maverick handles like a dream!! It look like a huge wedge coming down the road. I can actuall park my Ford Aspire under the back-end of it!!

: And with the 250 6-cyl I built up, the car will whip ANY V-8 car ever made.

: There you go!!

: : : : You know, I just noticed that it has been an unusually long time since I have seen a post from T.L. It seems almost ... quite in here. ;)

: : There's noone around to correct all of our misinformation now. This can be so much fun. I'll start off:
: : 1)I own a Shelby Comet.
: : 2)It came from the factory with a 428 Cobra-jet.
: : 3)Mavericks were originally designed by the Pentagon to be high performance stealth lawnmowers. This information has been surpressed in a massive government cover-up.
