Truly, it is a yarn for the ages!

Its not just you. They all cost a fortune.

Oh god. I know how you feel you poor, poor soul.

Hey now, to be fair Lancia made both flat-4 and v-4 engines. Granted, it was more of a VR6-type configuration than the ones posted below, but it still counts. I mean, just look at that machine!!

oh son of a bitch... have your star.

Oh jeez. My bad. Somehow I managed to read “PR” as “CR”

Are you in California? Can you lane split?

Lest we forget:

Where in Costa Rica? I have some friends with a house in Nosara. Super legit area, gasoline thieves notwithstanding.

Sit yourselves down and let me explain to you a thing.

If you have room for a lift, I would highly recommend looking for a dealership or automotive repair shop that is updating their lifts.

Still miss my 2006 SV650. It was nearly identical to yours, just a little bit redder and it had the tiny little windshieldlet over the speedo.

My Audi, unique snowflake that it is, won’t fire the ignition coils unless the ECM sees more than 11.8v from the battery. Under load from the starter, it doesn’t take much for a battery to fail this test.

“invested”

My folks matched the money I saved up for my first car. Looking back I think it was a good move on their part because I still had to earn that car myself, but I would have *in theory* ended up with a nicer vehicle.
