This is why I'm not longer a member of the Honda community. Well, that and current Honda product, but that's a whole other can of worms.

Could be better, but not bad.
It weighs about 3400 dry, and if you have to ask, I'm guessing you haven't driven one. Lots of fun, especially if you tighten up the structure some.
I think they need you over at Motor Trend to help with their "Everything important is irrelevant" article. If you exist in a world where numbers are most important, God help you, genuinely.
If you're inebriated at any level the police reserve the right to arrest you for a DUI. They have to if you blow .08.
The 3800 with the supercharger was actually a potent motor; 240 BHP and 280 lb-ft. The problem was they were stuffed into less-than-inspiring cars. With better suspensions and transmissions, they would have held their own. It's also not terribly hard to jump those numbers by about sixty a piece if you can find one of…
Ah, but that's the issue, most miss that 60k service. I do genuinely like the motor, I just haven't had the chance to experience one in good tick.
The 350 cubic inch L83 "Crossfire" V8. Horrifying to tune, to the point where the entire manifold was chucked if you want to make any kind of real power. 200 BHP isn't exactly a lot, either, for such a big motor, though the 285 lb-ft wasn't garbage. Still a terrible motor to work on, in my experience.
Two grand ain't much for a (hopefully) swirl-port 302, and by the sounds of things the big work's been done. Get the rust fixed, clean it up some and make sure the suspension's set up for that V8, and you have a hell of a good time on your hands. Nice Price.
I've had the pleasure of driving what was an essentially mint W124, particularly the 420. Let me tell you something, it makes me wonder if the 500's extra power was even necessary. They put out around 300 horse and close to that in pound-feet, and holy hell, this one still had it. It didn't hurt that it had a lovely…
Let me re-phrase; engaging in an act that requires sharp reflexes and fine motor skills should be treated as such, especially when one is controlling somewhere between one and three tons of steel. Purposefully impairing oneself and then going out to do that is a bad move.
I dunno, my old man ended up in a full-body cast a few decades back thanks to a guy who only blew a .06, so I assume that drinking a driving is a fucking stupid decision regardless of how much you have.
The second-generation Lumina is the choice of mediocrity everywhere; I know, I own one.
And that was the day that Nikola decided to upgrade Torchy to Boss Status.
I don't have much Audi knowledge as far as lowering goes; I assumed it's relatively easy, seeing as damn near every B5 and B6 I see is trying to drag frame. It's more the fender rolling that bothers me, seeing as the only way to fix that in the rear is to cut and replace (assuming it's flared, which I'd imagine most…
Rolling the fenders is, in my opinion, messing it up, especially if you flare them out any more than they already are. You can't really return that to stock without cutting them entirely and replacing them.
"Hold on guys, I have a rare car that will be sought after; let's permanently fuck up the rear quarters, chop up the suspension perches and be sure to use only the most aesthetically pleasing of parts."
Probably my current one; Z31 road racer.
I recently sat in the last generation of M6, and while it was clearly a technical achievement, it didn't feel special. Very german, very stoic, even with look-at-me-orange paint and giant wheels. I'm not saying I'd kick it out of bed, and yet...
Classic Bimmers tend to be a little costly to maintain, yeah.
