Yep, fuck AWD. I don't want the extra weight. Give it to me diesel, manual, white, no sunroof, tinted. TYVM.

FB RX-7. I'm 6'4, 210 pounds and have a super long torso, and so long as it's a non-sunroof model (I owned a base 'S' built the same month I was born: 6/1985) it was supremely comfortable. Tons of leg room and adequate headroom. That, and it was a great car to drive.

I cycle in Malibu Canyon. Fuck me.

We were leaving a concert at the Pontiac Silverdome back in 2003. There were four of us, all between 170 and 230 in a ~1990 Mercury Tracer. 1.9l of fury and an automagic. We were pulled over because the cop thought we were drunk because of the constant changing of speeds. He laughed at us when we said that the…

Bonerrific.

Neither street view nor Google Earth has recent imagery/anything that has a pic of his FB.

The grainy photo makes it hard to tell, but it looks like it's lacking a sunroof and rear badging on the drivers side, which indicates that it's a 12a with rear drums and an open diff (I had the exact same color and model before moving to LA).

8 speed is a reality. One of the kids I went to high school with told me about 4 years ago that he was on the design team for a 'Vette 8-speed torque-converter auto.

I went to college at Michigan Technological University, consistently voted one of the top 5 snowiest places in the country. The kid that lived next to me in the dorms daily drove a NA Miata year round. We averaged 240 inches per year. A set of blizzaks and two 60-pound bags of sand and he almost never girls stuck.…

Phil Sohn's 20b FD:

The 300sl Gullwing's steering wheel rotates out of the way so the driver can get their legs in.

Lifted and CVT? Fuck that. Give me stock ride height and a manual.

Is it just me, or does it sound like the car is experiencing ignition breakup throughout the run?

Do you have any suggestions for those who want to learn how to start shaping metal? Must-have tools? Best material/gauge to start with?

What would it take to hang out with you guys? My gf's parents live in Van Nuys and i work in Burbank.

I had the privilege of sitting in a F40 during the 2004 US GP weekend in Indianapolis. It was astonishing. The only unfortunate part: I could only get one of my two feet on the pedals at any one time. Driving shoes or toe shoes are a must for driving a F40 (unless you have wee feets).

The owner said he paid ~350k…

Psh, 12.8k for a bicycle? There was a 16.5k Pinarello in my local bike shop this summer. UCI minimum weight is easy to get under if you spend your money on components. Case-In-Point: My buddy's alloy Cannondale CAAD9 frame with full Dura Ace 9000 and his heavy training wheels weighed in at 15.9 pounds. His race…

The Karma is a stunning vehicle, and I believe that it could be sold as a non-alternative-fuel vehicle quite easily with a non-hybrid small Diesel and GM Small-block engine options, and with a switch to some Samsung or LG battery cells and the new 2.0L Chevrolet Turbo Diesel (they say that it has to have an American…

Psh, that's not a wall of death.
