For sure that's a bullet hole, probably .45acp, cause the common 9mm leaves a remarkably small hole in sheetmetal even with hollows. I'd shoot at it too. Crack Pipe, like the Chunnel.

Yep, that's my biggest complaint with Gm cars. The J-body is a surprisingly competent car, if you look past it's many quirks though.

Wiki search; turbosupercharger, it is the actual name for a turbo, turbos were first used on fighter planes in world war 2. Technically the description is correct, just not commonly used within the gearhead vernacular, thus we tend to see it as wrong.

@dbg2950: I just put my drinks in the forward portion of the center console compartment, but then you can't close it and you lose an armrest. This car is so flawed ergonomically. I have a single DIN radio in the factory opening, and it sucks. I think I might just bash the back in a little to accommodate it better.

@gtc: Ant the stupid interior lights that can't be set to 'off', they always light up whenever the door is opened, making it very difficult to be discreet. Also passlock, which asshole thought that was a good idea?

Yeah, I knew they did bodies in white, but all the details escaped me, too many beers.

@TheBlazinAce: That's the first thing I thought too, great minds and all that. Drinking a beer for ya.

Uh, just a couple days ago almost everyone thought this was cool, if stupid. Now the forums come down on him and everyone says it was stupid and risky, yes this kinda shit is very dangerous,but were we entertained by it? Hell yes. Was it dumb? Again, hell yes. That's about the end of it.

@Frank Grimes: Mustang tranny troubles.

@CRXPilot 5.Yo: Yup, the bodies and drivetrains are so extensively modified that RUF is considered a manufacturer.

I love me some pinto, but this silly costume ruins it for me. The v8 swap is sweet, but not enough to justify the slushbox. Cp on the beat.

@BullittFan_Fords4Life: Agreed, wasn't someone on here just discussing the problems with Mandirin as not having clear wording. Maybe when ford specified smooth shifting the chinese took it to mean soft metals. The whole language is frought with ambiguous wording.

@HiramJahoovafat: The problem is mis-representation, if we didn't know they were trannies, we would all hit them like a drunk in a suburban sideswiping parked cars.

@fhrblig: I laughed.

@gyronic: That looks likes some heavy trolling you're doing there. Ford DID take some bailout money, they just did it on the q/t. Look it up bro.

@My X-type is too a real Jaguar: That's pretty much what I was thinking. Good to know I'm not the only one, also what about a beer-tap shifter knob?

+1 for stopping. If people would understand that we are all responsible for our own wellbeing, then maybe shit like this wouldn't happen.

@jip1080: As a bike rider, I gotta say it. Always check behind you, by mirrors or swivel of the head, just always check. Also be looking for an exit line from wherever you are at all times. No one is omniscient, but we can come pretty damn close if we try. When you ride a bike you are always at a disadvantage to other…

F this! /Takes ball/ goes home/...........duly noted.

@tonyola: German engineer; 'Add more complexity.'
