... and then a view from where the oil pan normally resides, which resembled a mass of guacamole stalagmites

I get that the US market can be surprisingly shallow for collector cars, but really now. You’d think the E30, NSX, Viper, Z-cars, or even some old school SUVs would show up in there somewhere. It’s not like I’m asking for some weird Eastern Soviet Bloc sports car made out of Styrofoam and powered by a 2-cylinder…

Seriously, its like they forgot radio controlled helicopters and airplanes dont exist. Planes, in particular can carry heavier payloads with a longer ranges too.

I’m so very looking forward to this weekend and the potential for stories of people attaching roman candles and bottle rocket launchers to their $40 quadcopters.

He knows how consumers are modifying them to work beyond their intended capabilities, potentially making them lethal.

This is the free market* at work.

The comedy of it all is claiming that the 25-year exemption for emissions and safety regulations is to keep unsafe, “dirty” cars out.

I was being facetious. The point being in this day and age there are parts at your finger tips, and usually of much better quality AND price than compared to what ever O’Reilly happens to carry. Perhaps Amazon Prime wasn’t the best example, but then again I’ve found some great parts on Amazon in the past. A…

The first time I read it, I was wondering WTF this guy was talking about... and the second time I read it, it clicked, I was transported back to my last conversation with O’Reilly’s and realized man it has been a long time since I’ve had to call them for anything. Are they still in business in the day and age of the…

many stars to you

Imagine how terrible of a driver you have to be to 1) react to a biker kicking your car at highway speeds, 2) try to engage a retaliatory attempt to take the biker out, and 3) to then lose control of the vehicle over something that was so inconsequential and not worth reacting to.

Headifold in German is “Kopfbrecher.” I think that could work.

The shittier the marque the more acceptable

Well I am a pilot and have “autopilots” in all of my aircraft. They are quite advanced and cost more than the silly car he was driving. They are far from perfect and will, as we like to say;”fly you, with great precision, directly into a water tower.” So we never make any assumptions about its capability, rather study…

Sucks to be Alfa. If your competitor from Jaguar is outselling you 2:1, then you might be screwed.

This guy’s been trying to sell it for a while. I think on Oppo, some people pointed out that there are some major flaws with the build that necessitate more work. Namely the stock fuel system and ECU. Like, why do all this work and then leave out two highly essential parts?

Most useful ones are. And the police themselves are so baffled by the vague laws that they regularly arrest people for carrying legal knives. (Or they do it on purpose to hassle people and bump up their quotas.)

I went through 5 sets of tires in the first 90,000 miles I had my car. The current set has lasted me 25,000 miles so far and have about half their life left. I still slide around sometimes, but it seems I’ve mostly gotten past my burnout days. Owning a house and having 2 kids really dampens your desire to burn…

And for extra smokiness, light up a cigar and sip on some heavily-peated scotch; another thing you aren’t really supposed to do in a vehicle.

I don’t understand the appeal of burn outs. Sure there is noise and smoke, but I own a stereo and a fireplace if I need both at once.
