I like the panel trucks, every panel truck ever made is cool.

This is really bad, so bad that it is interesting. Is this what happened to Crash Test Dummies?

Camaros hold their value actually really well for a car.

Not necessarily, at higher altitudes the engine loads won’t be much worse than at sea level. When it’s hot out in the high desert your density altitude will reduce power by up to 30%.

Even Polaris didn’t trust their belt transmission for the 173 HP Sligshot. I worry how often you will be changing belts on the XP Turbo.

Small towns are usually okay with the added lights and registration.

RZRs are fun but can be scary when trying to crawl down a steep hill. The belt transmission does not hold and you have to rely on brakes. It would be so much better to drive a similar vehicle with an actual geared transmission.

You base you bike purchasing on Tinder hits?

$40K!? WTF Mate? Just buy a freaking car already. This one is faster, corners better, gets better mileage, has A/C, and can also sound awesome.

How quick is it with the 3800 V6? Why not include the Eaton S/C?

R56 MINI clutch swap. Not too big of a deal but tedious. Notice how I kept the front clip attached. That’s how you do it. Always swap your dampened flywheel for a solid billet flywheel!

I’ve got the HF motorcycle lift, might as well get the tire changer too.

Tav, great move.

How tough is it to swap tires? Do you have a good set of bead breakers or did you build a pull-down bead breaker?

Yep, my commuter/off road partner.

Awesome, nice camper.

Si, when of the best bikes I’ve owned. Small enough to get anywhere a dirt bike can go but fast enough to commute at freeway speeds. The OEM suspension is pretty good, it has fuel injection, and maintenance is minimal.

If we have a mild winter again I’ll try and get down there a couple weeks before Easter. Moab is always awesome but it is so much better when you it’s just you and few locals. The San Rafael Swell is awesome too for motorcycles. There is no one there most of the time.

144 V Wisconsin Electric-three Phase, Curtis Controller, looking at upgrading to LiPolys with the right supplier.

A few months of grunting, some lead acid batteries, a VW transmission/front suspension, an electric motor and controller- and then a T bucket roadster miraculously appeared.
