Eccentric view? Just because you are ignorant of it does not make it eccentric. Ask any automotive engineer/designeer they'll tell you its widely known/used by auto manufacturers.

I take it you are not familiar with the concept of front mid-engine placement? Every Corvette since '63 has had the engine behind the front axle making them mid-engined cars.

The corvette has been a mid-engined car since 1963

Seems silly to buy a whole new car when you can easily adapt your current car to accomplish the same thing.

A waste would be buying the lambo and barely driving it. How is adapting a car so you can use it as a daily driver a waste?

Find me an unmodified retired school bus driving on the road and I will give you a one whole shiny penny.

Whatever drugs you are on I want

TopGear tested,

'89 Civic Hatch for $60.00. Other than a blown headgasket and a dying auto tranny it ran like a champ. One free parts car, a headgasket, machined head, free si tranny, free coilovers & shocks and some EPIC cleaning I've got a less than $200 auto-x toy.

I was in THE Advance Car (No number) We ran the course in a grey '08 WRX before the zero cars.

I was co-driving the advance car for Oregon Trail. I remember that part of the stage, terrible crest right before that spectator area near the beginning of the video. Had to stay on the left side over the crest or you'd miss the turn and plow through the crowd of people. I didn't like it going ~45mph, stage speed…

I was co-driving the advance car for OTR. I don't think the private property thing was that big of deal up there, we had a huge problem with trying to keep dirt bikers of the stages that day.

I was there, damn near had rivers to cross on the later stages of that day

Don't feed the trolls.

From my experience wrapping line in a figure 8 pattern is used as a quick and very effective way to secure ones boat. Not to avoid twisting the lines.

Whoop dee effing doo! Been over 4 here (CA) for ages. $4.40 right now.

@Rjasd: I know Black 4dr automatic that was for sale not long ago for around $5k i think. Didn't sell, still parks in their driveway. Auto but in pretty good shape.
