He kinda does make a living on it tho' if you think about it. Usually makes some cash on the flip itself, then some more cash writing about it. Plus since he writes about it there is probably some income tax deduction crap going on. I bet he makes more off these little ventures then I do working full time on the…

If the valves on the other side were jacked, wouldn't the engine run like crap?? I'm asking because I don't know but seems to me there would be likely "not good" valve noise and a very low chance it would pass smog.

I had one for a couple days as a company car for my first job at 16 years old in 1984. Then my boss got read the riot act about insurance/liability by his wife and I had to go back to riding my bike.

Is it me or does that Ferrari look like it's rocking a Fiero body kit?

Moon buggy! Those have to be collectors items at this point. How many sci-fi movies have they been in?

The State of Alaska gives you a yearly dividend for making it your home if you choose to live there.

Seriously, I have a truck that will last me forever but I can't afford to drive it unless it's absolutely necessary for the task. 15mpg sucks. If the Ford ever hits 30mpg I'd start doing the math on which would save me more money keeping my old toyota or a new ford. Can you get a manual F150 4x4.

Mt. bike or motorcycle. You will thank yourself. Screw the 38!

I bought my 97 Sol off a Boeing Engineer. Flew to Seattle to get it and was not disappointed. It was freaking mint. Not a scratch on it. Babied in a car with a car cover, extra parts and looked like it was detailed. Even had a couple freshly chilled bottles of water in it when I met him at the airport for my long…

Thanks for the info. I admire your courage. I thought moving across the country at 18 to a place I knew no one was challenging. Now that seems just easy in comparison.

Did you give up your citizenship Kat? What is the pathway to becoming a Japanese citizen look like ?

Friend I used to kayak with had one. It's painfully slow up the mountains and pretty top heavy in the corners. Think "More reliable VW bus" with out the creature comfort living space. I'd choose a first gen 4Runner or a AWD Wagovan with a turbo over that thing anyday. The best thing about those cars is they are hard…

I grew up less then a mile from the greatest concentration of GM auto plants on earth and I love Japanese cars. Every car/truck I've owned has been a five speed Japanese "fun" car. 82 civic, 79 RX7, 84.5 4Runner, 97 4Runner, 2000 4Runner, 97 del sol and another 97 del sol. I also bought the ex-fiancé a 87 subie XT…

not to mention masochistic and environmentally questionable.

I've bought four cars off Craigslist and it is the best place to buy a car. It's awesome if the seller has a forum page on their car and a build thread but odds are its not going to be anywhere near you. However, if it is near you you can bet your ass their car is also for sale on their local craigslist! Ask them…

That is my "go to" car buying method. Write an email asking pertinent questions in a slang free articulate fashion, then show up on time and prepared to conduct business. Then I let the owner know I'm not one of the many flakes he has already surely encountered, and I offer him what the car is worth to me. I don't…

I think it's the 5 mph bumper that does it in.

That looks so uncomfortable. Perhaps custom bikes to men are as fashionable shoes to women.

Why can't they just take that SH-AWD 6, do a 180 and drop that in the back of a Integra size car as a mid engine and call it a day? 300hp 6speed AWD two seater. You can't tell me that wouldn't sell. He'll folks have been shoving acura six cylinders into Integras, Civics and Sols for over decade. Make it five grand…

Well your in luck...or screwed if you wanted to avoid further temptation. Met someone riding one of these last year. Sweet set-up.
