You could probably get this one for less, even w/shipping. Just not sure if the painting would kill the deal.
1 Rear pass. door for sale, oddly enough

Talking Oh, Ive got ANOTHER one for your morning pleasure!!!!!!

Yeah I had a blast biking that day till the car wash! My Saab at that time was a 1988 900T 4 door, one of the last years of the 4 door turbo. I have a 1993 900 now that is a garage QUEEN, it just hit 50,000 miles and looks better than it did when it came off the show room, I’m getting ready to list it on the autotrader.com and see what I can get out of it. I’ve got over $13,000 invested in her, but haven’t had it out in 5 months, the inspection is even dead. I am afraid some cell phone driver is going to hit it, since its one of the last few 900 hard tops to be shipped to the US I am kind of weird about it! I have another story for you guys.. when I lived at home my dad had a ragged out Craftsman garage door opener. Well he had just bought his Yota, a 1994 SR5 and JUST I mean that day had his fiberglass top painted and installed THAT FREAKING DAY. Well I wanted to use his garage; they have one attached to the house and a 2 door 3 car detached... I wanted to pull my Saab in to mess with some thing. Anyway I got in his truck, fired it up and hit the garage door opener button, well the Fu$*ing door went up, so I hit the gas but the damn opener sucked so bad that the damn thing reversed it self!!!!! I backed THROUGH half of the garage door, bending it way outward and popping the first 2 panels out of their tracks!!!!! At the same time the door was gouging into the fiber glass top removing the paint and shifting it on the bed of the truck! WHY ME! Needless to say pops was sent into a new dimension of pissed off when he saw the carnage that just took place in his garage to his new truck! Ahhh yes, good times!!!!!!!

I'm on holidays right now, and I took an offramp which met up with one of those low-clearance bars when you enter a parking garage.

Managed to stop in time before I creamed it though, had to back up down the off-ramp though

First time I have encountered a low clearance bar in my rig.

I wedged my 76 bronco into my dad's garage when i was trying to get it running. Thought the brakes were bleed and bent the hood in half and almost ran over my dad. Had 35's on the bronco just had to have em on there to inspire me.

Question duh

I feel your pain.
My 2nd gen 4runner's rear window motor had eaten its teeth.
So rear window doesn't work and the motor was removed for comparison at junk yard.
To open or close the tailgate slide the window manually and use inside handle.
No worries until I forgot the cardinal rule never close the tailgate with the window even slightly open.
The ensuing explosion took me completely by surprise and I'm still cleaning out broken glass from the driveway and runner.
Anyone know of a soft top version rear window?
kind of stuck on a rock in the pacific, replacing the glass gets pricey with shipping.
Aloha.

ooh ooh i got one! well not me , my lil brother.. long story short my first car was an 86 accored that sat low to the ground (factory). my brother decided to take my dad's f150 for a spin. well my car was parked right behind the truck to the point were my bumper was under his (my dad was mowing so we had to get the cars off the grass.. my bro didnt see my car back there and hit reverse. hit my car and then stopped.. this isnt it! instead of getting out of the damn truck and seeing what was behind him he slammed the gas and back my dad's truck up ONTO to my car's hood. yes the rear of that truck was on my car tires and all!!! good thing dad was out there or he would have been less one son. what a jackass..

I have a 2006 subi WRX STI, and had a set of yakima roof racks for snow boards put on. Well me and a couple of buddys loaded up the boards, 4 to be exact. We hit the road and at about 75 mph on the free way, when all of a sudden SLAM SLAM BOOM crunch..... the boards were flying behind us and hit the road, And in the process of flying off ripped the rain gutter trim off and all four boards hit the rear wing and ripped that off, huge dent in the trunck and scatches every were. Needless to say I left the racks on the side of the highway and put the boards in the car, it was very uncomftable ride to the mountain and back home and alot of money to fix, top that!
