        All cleaned up and put away for winter! Maybe next year I'll actually do more with it...

          Nice job with the gravel, I ought to do that to my backyard behind the garage. Level it out, spread gravel and park cars. I even have some river rocks like you've got to make it pretty.

            Is that a Chevy Burrito in the garage? I haven't seen one of those in ages. Probably not since my step-sister's husband wrecked his. He likes to tell the story about how him and his brother would compete to see who could destroy tires the fastest, he won with 2k miles on a brand new set of front tires. I can't remember which engine his had, it was the "fast" one (z24?) and it did sound pretty good.

              Thanks man! I can't take all the credit though, I just bought it and transported it. Thr lady did most of the work, lol. Pea gravel, landscaping cloth, then river pebbles. Long bricks for the borders. Seems to be holding up well so far!

                  I always thought those and Grand Am's were good looking cars. I don't know that I'd own one with 6 cylinders though.

                  Thanks for the details on the landscaping! I know what to keep in mind should I feel motivated to do something back there haha.

                    not sure I'd own one that wasn't a V6. You can keep that Quad 4, the 3100 is a way more awesome engine.

                          And I would gladly take a red GTZ with a quad 4, oh Lordy Lordy that's my dream Beretta! We have a guy on the forum with a high compression quad 4 on nitrous that runs low 13's...

                          Don't get me wrong though, I won't part with my 3500, no way!

                            Oh yeah, I once saw a 442 or something like that with a Quad 4 in it. I really wanted it, was in impeccable shape but I've heard conflicting stories about the Quad 4, so at the time I was looking for a DD and those have a reputation of being rather finicky so I passed. Have you ever owned one long term? I had a regular Quad and in my God Dam and it was a great little terd. Always wanted another one with either 4 banger mated to a 5 speed. All of them appear to have been run into the ground haha.

                              I never have owned a Quad, but the guys on the forum that do absolutely love them!

                                Any issues with them?? I've heard a few people talk about them and it's nothing but love these days. Some ten years ago though everyone acted like they were some terminal illness or something.
