Hey! Frame issues looks like the new JL frames!

I just got back from Europe. A decent seat on a decent airline from Vienna to Lyon was $36 and about two hours. Sure, bag fees made that closer to $100, but still. A first class train ticket requires a transfer, takes 10 hours and was several hundred dollars—but at least you get to see some great scenery along the…
If we move to wood these guys work cheap
Here is a high quality photoshop of what Americans see when they hear “small Suzukj SUV”.
Does an object that has all of its components replaced still rust in half?
My mom calls amd says “you have had good results with used BMWs, we need your advice”, which they promptly ignored. A 2004 Jaguar XK8 that they called to get a sanity check on before buying it anyway. A billion watts of warning lights later, but only about 30,000 miles later it was a basket case. I want to say that…
Hey, I used to own an A3. I make a good living. But how much of our journalism is going to be devoted to reading weird stories about the strange decisions the 1% have to make? Not a complaint, just an observation as a higher percentage of cars get further away from realistic ownership by even successful car guys.…
Back when the first-gen new MINIs were hard to come by, I ordered a “new” one from MINI of the Hamptons and had it shipped to Denver. They had sent me documentation showing the car with 17 miles. When it showed up it had nearly 500. They said that they had “loaned it to the Baldwins for the Hamptons Film Festival”.…
I think this is doable. A big, but simple shell. 7 modular engines that can be run in various configurations and proven flight systems. Should be relatively simple, cheap and reliable.
Would be MUCH easier with Vespas.
Pretty sure it’s a Badger 5 garbage disposal.
You all know that you can get not quite as fast and not quite as ragged 135is all day for like $15k, right? Sure, it’s the age-old not-quite-an-argument but it’s 85% of the car for 25% of the money.
If your mission is creeping, just embrace it. I bet the driveline from a ZJ V8 would be relatively cheap to acquire and a challenging (but achievable) install.
I think I know how this ends.
I wish that I was still allowed to post photos cuz I would post a pic of the dashboard of my 1958 Ford Fairlane I drove in high school. It was gorgeous, but with no seatbelts it was a true skull crusher.
We understand that even if Trump tweeted tomorrow “psych! No more trade war” that we are never going back, right? The participants, now that the door has been opened, will expect some sort of clawback.
Hey David, a question: does cylinder deactivation cause any strange wear modes? Like after 150k miles would there be some cylinders that are different from others? “Number 1, 3 and 5 are worn out but number 2 looks brand new”? Or “there is hunk built up on the intake valves of some cylinders and less on others” or “we…
On the whole resale thing I sure am glad that Ford is protecting rich people from each other. Wouldn’t want those bastards ripping each other off with too-high resale on their supercars. If Ford doesn’t take care of the rich, who will?
