And my non-S GLH never tugged on the wheel, because I took the time one day to loosen the engine mounts and make sure the axles were engaged at the proper lengths by sliding the engine sideways.

The earliest ones, yeah, couldn’t really adjust it out. But the later ones, either with the jackshaft or the hollow passenger…

I think you’re OK, but I would leave an anony-note mentioning it because this could be an unfamiliar owner and it will probably happen again when you aren’t around.

I may have missed it, but you talk a lot about the seat height and riding position, but never mention your height or inseam... are ya 6'5" with short legs, or 5'9" with a 34 inseam? Give us something to compare with :)

It might be time for track bed work anyways. Putting this off until that was needed means projects overlap and you’re just adding a few steps.

The proportional oddness is due to the 5mph bumpers. Bring them back flush and it would be quite a bit less ugly.

You won’t fit a modular or Coyote in there without significant work. A 400M will be tight, this is the same platform that dates back to the falcon and has the big upper arm mounted springs and shocks, the towers make the engine compartment fairly narrow.

BUT... the work’s already been done for you with regard to…

You just have to adjust it properly... which apparently nobody knew how to do or bothered with back then, perhaps even now. Allpar has a good writeup.

The Audi, you’re supposed to take the front of the car off.

Seriously.

Canada, most likely. Shell stations up there have limited or no ethanol in top grades, maybe more providers do that.

If you have a knock sensor and engine management that adapts timing, then premium is the way to go. Otherwise it doesn’t really matter.

If it’s still air sprung this is just a matter of adjusting the limit switches.

If it’s not then you’re getting new springs... which isn’t terribly difficult either given it’s a Fox and has divorced springs on it’s strut front end and simple coils on the rear. Any coil count, any rate, you’ll find it and probably…

It’s 225 horsepower from an engine in a design schema where low end torque and tractability was still valued over everything else. Torque values were around 300lb/ft at the crank with a peak a bit above 3000rpm.

...when the hell were you all at Turkey Creek when it wasn’t bumper to bumper Karen-mobiles?

“I’m your neighbor, up on Donner Summit in California.”

I hear it’s a hell of a party up there. Lots of guests for dinner...

Water in something, likely these commenters’ heads.

1 - eVTOL with a redundant balanced propulsion system* capable of setting itself down with one system failure, and one battery with a wee bit of extra life....
2 - dedicated strict low altitude ‘skipflight’ corridors that don’t have to wait for other class B traffic to clear. You may run helicopters and eVTOLs around…

40K/year is obscene, but not all that outlandish. 52 weeks in a year by 5 days is 260 work days, division gives you 153 miles a day. Commute to a job 75 miles away and you’ve got your numbers.

“I was initially worried that the muffler might be hiding up there and I’d have to heat wrap the wires, but this car routes the mufflers to either side, and I was in the clear to drill a vertical hole with abandon.”

Most would use a drill bit to drill a vertical hole.

Unless you’ve given yours a pet name and I’m…

Bloody hell.

It’s like they’re their own worst enemy...
