| | | New Daily Driver | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,148 old hand | OP old hand Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,148 | Got a newer daily driver for fuel mileage as well as some amenities and trying to keep my older van off the road in the winter. So, I found a 117,000 mile '97 Olds Silhouette that has a couple of small issues, but nothing big. Very little rust and only has two small dents. Interior is clean except tears in drivers seat. Lots of options. Got it for $1750. Either way, I am looking for a name for it, and any ideas towards a proper lowering about 2" without use of bags (trying to keep cost down, dependablity up in winter) Either way, here she is with old van and new van together:

I will be in the market for a daily beater by the time winter rolls around. Will also give me time to actually get some work done on the van!

SUNSHINE VANS-VAN DIEGO ADRENALIN BY THE GALLON & CHASIN RACIN ONE FOR THE DIRT & ONE FOR THE STREETS '93 CHEVY G30 454 4X4 SPORTVAN EXT 146" WB '92 CHEVY G30 454 BEAUVILLE EXT 146" WB | | | Re: New Daily Driver | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,148 old hand | OP old hand Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,148 | She isn't too bad on mileage (118k) and still in great shape per say. She did get better headlights, new front brakes, new intake gaskets, pinstriping, and the name "Savannah Nights". Savannah will hopefully get curtains, black center 17" wheels, and a two tone with formal black on top. Would like interior to resemble upholstery in southern hotel style. Mechanically keep it stock for dependability and mileage. Next up will be new struts and shocks, and a fresh Walker muffler....
