In the early 90s, I had a guy tell me his obviously stock L98 Vette had what he called the “ZR-1 upgrade”. Realizing he was a total moron, I didn’t even bother to ask him to open the hood. And this dude trained sales staff at car dealerships.

Body by Fisher, seats by Glad.

Cops are really whining about needing protection when they’ve had an uptick in shoot first and ask questions later? Really? Really? WOW!

Lots of dudes bought these as investments, paying over sticker, and never driving them as they’ve slowly dropped in value. Those dudes are now getting to the age where they’re dying, or maybe needing money for their retirement to be less morbid about it. It’s going to be a looooong time before very low mileages ones…

lol

The “had to lay it down” thing annoys me so much. Motorcycles stop much better on tires than they do on their sides.

That guy is full of shit unless that elk was already dead and laying in the road. In that case, it’s possible, but I have a feeling it would give one hell of a kick and send you into an endo. Even on a dirtbike with 12" of suspension designed for hitting stuff at speed, a 2' diameter down tree hit wrong at 20-30MPH…

Hitting animals at speed is one of my biggest motorcycle fears.

If someone smashed my windows in the police would say “oh that sucks. We’ll be sure to look into it” and then proceed to do absolutely nothing about it. They can get wrecked as far as I’m concerned.

Yes...

That’s because it’s to keep people from LEAVING the station, rather than getting into it. Because who the hell has the iron to break into a police station?

$4,900 is a paltry amount of damage to do, especially when you’re swinging a sledgehammer. I’m sure I’d be able to top $10k without breaking a sweat.

1. Stop giving the people a reason to seek vengeance.
2. Grow a pair and fight city hall

A quick check on Google maps confirms that the Central Station parking lot is indeed surrounded by fence (334 S Hall St. Dallas, TX 75226). Though it’s not barbed and doesn’t look very intimidating, you certainly can’t “walk the fuck around it.”

What are they supposed to have then? A goddamn army base? They’re just whining because someone did something they didn’t like.

I’m failing to see how the lot is unsecured when there is a giant, imposing barbed wire fence in the background. Why do cops always lie about shit and exaggerate everything?

So long as we don’t hear any comments about bonin’ Grandma to get a car.

Eh, remember the “reality” show is probably mostly scripted. I mean the cars are obviously real but then they add in the overblown suspense about how they’ve only got 4 hours to finish it or whatever.

I believe the Cobra would have been a six-figure car even in 1991. I had just graduated from college, and that was my ultimate fantasy car at the time - and was an unrealistic fantasy even then. I would think the Ferrari was in the same neighborhood - probably up significantly from the early 80's (which was a terrible…

Forget about the priceless Cobra and Ferrari. What is the fate of the e30 325ix????
