Why a Pacer?!? I mean, it was a piece of scrap when it was new! I understand if it was your 1st car as a kid and all, but...GEEZ! Originally Posted by Theseus

I just rotated my Jeep Liberty's tires with a floor jack and the temporary use of the donut spare. What a total pain that was. Never again. It will be someone with a lift next time.

It was my first car. It was actually one of the Pacer wagons with the Jeep 8 cylinder engine. Originally Posted by mapleleafalumnus

I recently parted ways with my old '87 Cherokee and I actually miss it quite a bit. Not only was it really easy to work on, it also needed work so frequently that it was kind of a hobby keeping it on the road. Alas my newer Liberty is way more reliable and therefore nowhere near as fun.

It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Based on your previous thread posts, I was hoping your response was going to be a poetic prose. Originally Posted by Cangooner
