well somebody needs to pay all the depreciation for me! Haha that is why I buy low, drive while I "restore", sell for profit, and have a free whip while I do it less gas and insurance. Tavarish knows what I am laying down there

yup, all of this. Just boils down to don't buy what you can't afford. And damn sure don't rent something you can't afford so you look like you can afford something you can't.

the Q bridge in New Haven. It was a piece of shit when it was old, and the new one doesn't do anything any better, except for not losing sections of itself into the Quinnipiac river (yet)

my sister had a gen 1 Laser RS Turbo AWD, and I thought it was one of the last unmodded diamond Star cars out there. Guess I was wrong. Hers got wrecked by a drunk driver, or I am sure it would have still been bone stock...

^this^

I agree with this. That shape just calls to me

ha barely

yeah you nailed it on the head right here. Sometimes I feel like I am the only person within a 100 mile radius that even knows what either an SU or CIS is. But these motors are seriously robust. Sometimes a little tricky to find a few things for, but very well built for the long haul. Trannies too

ha yup. 10 years old, 95K miles. It was my first car that was not air cooled or built in the 60's

yeah only on the later a4

Audi Cabriolet - you couldn't even get it in quattro

hey I had one of those!

I thought I was the only one around here unashamed enough about my masturbatory habits to toss it out there. Well done

I had my refutation written in advance... http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/my-ode-to-the-…

I notice this thing is still up for sale 2 months later. This was a Dailyturismo post from 10/24 on it. Not surprised at all, but it is kind of a cool idea, executed poorly http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/looked-up-insa…

that looks like my old subaru GL10 after sitting 2 years

I don't personally but I have 2 places to borrow all that from (still probably have to order a shim kit though, unless they let me borrow shims for 6 months or so :) ) - luckily

that is kind of the kick in the ass, because I could have done it all myself besides the machining!

good lord, for under 10? Unreal.

hell then I still got life in me at 36! I have gotten action 6 times in 2014, but never the full deal. That requires the car of my 20th year, an 85 Delta 88 sedan with a bench seat
