It’s an old one, but the Fast ‘n’ Furiousization of cars back when the first film or two came out. Suddenly every kid with a Honda or Toyota of some kind (really just about anything) had some combination of a riduculous body kit on it (often not attached well or painted properly), a giant exhaust can hanging off the…

I live near Chicago and wish we had WaWa or Sheetz. The best we can do is Sonic for a late night drunksnack, and the ones near me are also not anywhere near the bars.

I understand he was a clothing designer at one time (or still is?). I only know of him because of his car collection.

I believe the rear fender graphics are supposed to be the retracted landing gear of the “fighter plane”.

It looks less “drift event” and more “demolition derby”. Probably the under card.

That might be what I’m thinking of. I know I’ve had a couple of cases where old discs have worn unevenly and pulsed through the pedal when braking.

Holy Toledo, that looks nasty.

Overheating the brakes was much more of a concern when most cars had at least drum brakes at the back if not drums all around. Drums are more prone to overheating and fade, because the drums expand a bit as they get hot, and tend to take longer to cool back down. The heat can also affect other brake system components,…

The stop sign thing is a joke - dozens of people have told me that but only when they’re actually blowing a stop, not as actual advice.

Or a band name.

I would donate to the Kickstarter for this.

Hill was driving for Ferrari that year - his last with the team.

You can briefly spot Jim Clark in a Lotus early on - he passes the camera car. His helmet (dark blue with a white brim) is easy to spot.

I think the people who watch it do so purely out of habit. I know my folks still watch and my mother complains about it not being as good.

Come to think of it, she used to watch Last Man Standing and complain about both the right leaning commentary (when it suddenly popped up) and how unfunny it was.

Where I live (Chicago suburbs) that’s almost exclusively who drives Unlimiteds.

Not true! Sometimes you have to park on the grass at the kids soccer game!

That’s offensive to both asses (the animal and the body part) and holes of all kinds.

Counterpoint: it’s acceptable when you’re actually talking about technical stuff where this info matters. But nine times out of ten, when I encounter someone who speaks in engine, chassis, and option codes, they’re doing so not to be specific, but to show off that they can be. It’s particularly annoying when someone…

built on the bones of a 1927 Ford, but it doesn’t look like very much of that original car is still intact

I can buy a regular GT for less, mod it for more power with the savings, and slide into the curb at a Cars & Coffee just as efficiently.

Cant’ edit, I guess. Anyway, the above is Chris Banning’s legendary “King of the Hill” 911. The car and it’s story is really interesting - I stumbled across this thread over at Pelican Parts and have been obsessed with the old street racing scene there ever since.
