As someone who used to walk these stairs on a weekly basis: Yeesh!

I don't know if I'm more disturbed by the doll or the amount of tire shine over-spray on the asphalt.

Some of it had to do with the sheer simplicity of the car. Even in a little shit box, the less technology there is, the more involved in the experience you are. That's why I love my dog balls slow E28. When I'm driving it, I'm driving it.

I rented a 5MT Spark near Cancun and drove it down the Mayan Riviera past Tulum with my gf and our luggage. It kept up well with traffic in both the city and highway, carried all of our junk, took a beating on back roads and didn't use a smidgen of fuel. I actually liked the basic aquamarine colored digital gauges and…

ESPECIALLY if you're a rotor head.

Dude, really?

I dunno, these were kinda cool:

Glad to hear done 8 owners have adopted pre mix. I don't know what's so different about them. It has side ports instead of peripheral and tapered side seals. the fd has a computer controlled electronic oil metering pump too.

You could argue that most music is now a modern consumer product, tailored to the general public's desires, marketed, sold, and then thrown out when it gets tired. However, I would imagine it is hard to be a successful professional artist without some crossing that line to…

I love how he pops the hood at the end. Like you're going to fix that in the street... from above the car.

Good point on the pre-load, need to remember to watch out for that. I've been working with too many weldments!

Right there. More badass than I'll ever be.

Just one 1/2" bolt has a tensile strength of nearly 24,000 lb and those straps are at least at 45 degrees. Ten ought to be up to the task. The hubs and linkage... ???

"It takes 200 man hours and a squirrel hairbrush to achieve such class."
Squirrel-hair brush or squirrel hairbrush like this little guy's girlfriend uses?

NP for someone. That said, for antique German steel I would prefer an E21/E28. Because, you know... I'd actually like usable HP/Tq figures.
