Well, that's good. I thought the post had also not published correctly, which was disappointing since I spent waaaay too much time on it.

I gave him a NP because the photos and charts of his build are worth 1K on their own. And it looks like a wacky, fun build. That said, what happened to the Talon he got the engine from? I can't think of any damage that would've been as hard to repair as this build was.

I know this is a few days old - and I'm not the original poster - but I feel like I might have a couple insights that could help. I would guess she is trying to make the point that sex is not inherently a bigger part of any relationship. It isn't a sacred or even necessary part of a relationship. It is simply another…

I didn't like this when it came out and it hasn't gotten any better looking. The biggest problem for me is the fact the felt they had to put the new corporate grill from the E/S on it and it looks like someone clipped a pickup truck front onto a sports car. But it's not the only thing wrong - its creased where it…

Having searched for Pantera's recently - he's right when he says clean ones are in the 60K and up range. The sunroof is the biggest concern with this one - but other than that, if the ad is accurate and it just needs a reawakening from a long storage, you'd be looking at a nice ride for the right money. You'll get no…

I'd have to agree - they priced it at 10K hoping for a mook and would be willing to take a chunk less (though someone's assertion of 5K is nuts - no dealer is going to take a 50% offer). The hardtop, the near perfect engine bay and the low miles. The key here is that there are people out there who want an NA - with…

Yeah, I had thought the Leaf had just had a slow start since the little quiet things are all over Atlanta now. I had known you could get them just about free if you kept the miles down during the lease (at least two people my wife work with had discovered it and had gotten them as second vehicles just to commute in).…

Haha! That ridiculous thing. I had read rumors that Aston was actually just giving them to DBS and Vanquish buyers as a bonus. Some kind of "Need to run out for milk and it's raining? Don't take the expensive Aston, take this instead." promotion. I can't imagine anyone actually expected this to sell.

Well, if the engine goes and you can't find parts, you could always do a motor swap from a John Deere and get a nice HP boost. I gave this a NP, but just barely - solely on the ground that if you are into these wacky things (and there are Trubant/bad car people besides this guy out there), this one is in nice shape.

I suspect that we will see a lot of really low, sexy looking press shots and then when we get the US spec version, it will have 2 extra inches of clearance in the wheel well just like when the NC hit our shores. That 4 inches lower will not make it through our regulations. It might end up lower than the NC, but not by…

Umm, I can see the straight line comment - but in the corners? Do you seriously believe a Ford Explorer (or similar, to use rental-speak) can carry higher cornering speeds than this - or any- Miata? And I do have to mention (although it has to be the 1,000,000,000th time it's been said) that Miatas are not about…

Yeah, I actually clicked on that story amused that a guy was included in the leak - and figured I could check it out to balance the scale of all the creepers spanking to the ladies photos. I had no idea Upton would be in the shot. I had no intention of seeing any of the women's photos and got surprised by it. It is…

Yeah - $2200? I was already daydreaming about caging it, dropping in race seats, putting in a WRX motor from some kids flipped donor and hitting SCCA days with it.

Didn't he pull a crazy stunt to show off the supercharger stations and drive one of the Ss across the country with all the kids? It amused me at the time that there was no mention the wife was joining him on his adventure.

Actually, my wife has. She works at a surgery center for pediatrics and sees quite a few of the interesting spellings that have become popular. Granted, this was not long ago and the child was young, so it likely named after the urban legend (which is pretty amusing). I can't remember many of them but there are many.…

Did you notice the V8 swap? I was just curious if your "painfully slow" assessment included that. I wouldn't expect it to be any sort of dragster, but it can't weigh that much anymore so even a mild setup on the SBC should move it allow pretty well - until it breaks down.

I would never spend that money on it... but I want it sooo bad. I had to actually convince myself to put CP. I mean, it's the terrible fever dream of a madman but I would gleefully drive it to go camping... or escaping zombies.

Late reply - and nothing earth shattering. It's not so much the 5s are any bigger than the competitors but if I were to choose a "fun" track car, I'm going to go small, light and slow over any sedan, regardless of how fast the sedan can be. My diss on BMW comes from my disappointment in the last few test drives. I…

Well, I've been reading claims that BMW is going to make the next version lighter for more than 5 years - since before the 1 came out here in the states at the very least. If they finally got around to it, I'd imagine it's more to do with CAFE standards than any desire to please the minority of purchasers (us). And…

I really, really, really hope your plumbing backs up and feces runs all over your bathroom. Then I hope you realize that trolling on the internet is a feeble and immature thing to do.
