How do you handle french fries between the seats? That’s my pet peeve. I will stop on an interstate to get those out of the car.

I’ve wondered about a turbo for my VR6. I wouldn’t go full tilt like Nate at 034 Motorsports, likely would keep it about 450-500 hp. The big daddy setup is from HPA.

They might as well. There’s that old saying “you can’t take it with you”.

I’ve seen Camaros in ditches before too. Is it a Chebby thing?

First Ford cancels the remaining 200+ Focus RS orders and now this? Is something screwed up at the blue oval?

I see the need to build large dikes, dams and floodgates around the city with windmills on the highrises to aid the pumping stations. I’m sure somebody would love to be voted onto a water control board like in the Netherlands. It could be a new place for the growth of political graft and corruption. I’m sure a…

Somehow I think #4 could be passed off as genuine.

Mine was a fun car to own, yes it bounced a lot but it cornered great. It was made for small Italian lanes and alley driving, could fit it anywhere. With a hotter cam and Abarth exhaust it still barely got to 95mph. The one thing I see nobody post anywhere is how good they were in sand. I lived on the Outer Banks at…

A BRG painted 850 Spider was my first car. It had the the Miura headlamps , they shared tail lights and side Bertone badges too. The Dino wheel claim is purely stupidity. The Campy wheels from a Dino would have been 14" with a 5x108mm pattern not the 13" rim with 4x98mm of the Fiat. The new 500 still has the 4x98mm…

I’ve been a navigator in 6 amateur cat rallies, twice in snow and ice. It not that much crazier.

I don’t mind the insight into other cultures. I think its what broadens ones knowledge. Each region in the US seems to be different for brand mix and car lifespans which is changing rapidly. One of the guys I met at a July 4th event was talking about being near D.C. just weeks back and how he had to search the lot to…

nice pics!

Looks like you had a great time in my old home state. I was at CLE Cars & Coffee, already posted over on Oppositelock. Got to meet fellow OPPO TheJWT today and see his GTA. It needs some work but its pretty nice from what I see and has potential.

My cars are for daily driving in Ohio. In the winter it might see water once a month to clean off the salt. I’m sure reading this will sent somebody who is OCD into an immediate heart attack. I do a complete detailing maybe three times a year and might vacuum the interior another time or two. As for paint conditioning…

I and two techs rendered about 45 cars ready for recycling during cash for clunkers. If they follow the same guidelines they will seize the engines with liquid glass (sodium silicate) in the place of motor oil. After that the battery and catalyst are removed from the car and it looks like they will also take the…

Pass. I’ve had to find parts for those before and it was difficult 10 yrs ago. I can’t imagine trying to find the obscure parts now.

I sorta liked the duct tape thing they had going.

My first thought is fuel brands used and octane ratings could be at fault.

We have a modded TDI that shows at our Cars and Coffee. His plate reads “LOL-EPA”.

You make me want to drive cross country again with Steely Dan Gaucho playing on the stereo. The two other albums for that drive are Van Halen’s 1st album and Rolling Stones- Some Girls. Rinse, Repeat.
