Presenting the 1995 Solo Rocky Exploration Special!
There clearly was a bulk discount on lights at the time... at least any explorer won't need to pack any extra lights for their camp.

I can't remember if mine is a 3.7, or a 3.8L V6.... half of yours though in every way.

No replacement for displacement. 
Useless, horribly underpowered displacement, but displacement nonetheless.

20 grand a car, there's my problem. Anything I do ends up over budget.

Those scientists don't deserve the premium interior
Sometimes the pricing is wrong when switching tabs. I was just below 20,000 and changed a few things and ended up at 20,300. I lowered it to exactly 20,000, but when I reloaded, I was at 19,200 and got to reverse some of my cost cutting. Not sure why it does that, but that might be the issue you're having (assuming you're just a few hundred off) Sat Dec 19, 2015 11:08 am

I gotta know this one, was it just a personal goal to find the lowest horsepower without knocking or something?

kinda, got the idea when i was building a serious engine but i screwed up a turbo setting slider and i was getting only about 27 HP so i went on to try to make as low of horsepower per liter as possible, also for the fuel economy the thing runs in the gallons per mile range, but lets get this back on topic of the challenge

Re: Exploration vehicle challenge (now open!)
gallons per mile. okay.
now remove the catalytic converter, mas produce it and let that madafakin polluter be a polluter and send that to NASA as an engine to help make more greenhouse gasses on mars
