I've been here since before the Jalopalypse, and yet I'm grey? WTF?

"And in case you were about to forget how many cylinders you got at the back, these red ignition numbers are there to help:"

Wrong. The 84' was the last of the RWD's. [en.wikipedia.org]

This is a much more effective guide than the above video. And just the right kind of advice to help prevent squid stains.

21 seconds into the video, a sure fire way to get killed. Blind crest on just the rear tire then a sharp jab over the double yellow. How-To (fail).

No shit douche. It was a fuckin' joke. Granted it was a stupid joke, but you gotta give people the benefit of doubt sometimes.

I agree completely. These guys don't like this sentiment because they all have a 'dead legend' boner. Everyone had this exact same set of feelings a few days ago, but, now he's dead and they get all misty eyed and refuse to see Shelby's dickishness for what it was. RIP Mr. Shelby. Let the days of inexpensive 'Cobra'…

I thought that was a Subaru GL. But GIS also gave me this, in reply....

I had to give it an NP just for being what it is. If I had that kind of money.....

Great car and great story. However, the Chevy isn't the true genesis of hot rodding. Before the Chevy small block was the Ford flathead, from the model A all the way through the ford product line until the Y block replaced it in the fifties. The earliest known aftermarket performance product was a set of high ratio…

I don't know if someone beat me to it but, I vote for upstate New York. More specifically the area around Finger lakes/Rochester/Spencer county/ Watkins Glen.

Shinya Kimura was the head guy there, now he lives and works in Azusa California. He does fantastic work.

Should be about seven inches south of the 'worm belly button'.
