Yep, as soon as I saw the tiny little clearing and that the crowd was on the same level ground as the truck, I knew this was a disaster waiting to happen.

There are none on ebay right now, but my suggestion is 1984 BMW 318i (e30).

I'm positively astounded that it took almost a week just to find a 36mm socket, in NYC. You guys don't have a harbor freight?

I always show up to a craigslist transaction meet with two or three friends, or a sidearm, or preferably both. There are some really opportunistic scumbags out there, be careful.

Why choose to drive like that? Why did I choose a car I know is unsafe? For that matter, why did Duran?

Driving any automobile is an inherently unsafe activity. Make no mistake, if cars were invented today, five point harnesses, roll cages, full face helmets, and nomex suits would be mandatory equipment just to drive down the road. Driving is easily the most dangerous activity 99% of people engage in on a daily basis.

Came here looking for 850CSi

Torque is a unit of force as measured rotating an object about an axis.

I have an uncontrollable desire to see this driving on the street. And whomever drives it there will win at life forever.

You don't need a special license to drive a tow truck in most states unless you're using it for commercial purposes.

I want to see a race between a mid 70s F1 car and a Can Am car of the same year. I heard that the Can Am cars were actually a bit faster on the wider courses.

Well, I've been here for a few weeks now, and I've realized that you were absolutely right. Not about the gun thing. I haven't bought a gun, largely because I suspect the paperwork process is more likely to kill me than an intruder. I base this statement on my experience getting a Pennsylvania driver's license, which…

Fun fact, the front suspension pieces on the e34 are interchangeable with the E31 (8 series). So you can swap in lighter aluminum upper and lower control arms (lower has a spherical bearing instead of a solid rubber bushing), stiffer sway bars, etc. with minimal effort.

I own an FN Hi-Power built in Belgium during Nazi occupation; it has the eagle & swastika proof stamp on the frame and slide. I bought it because it serves as real, physical proof that Nazi Germany existed, and of all the pain and suffering they caused. As the living memory of World War II continues to dwindle, I…

You could pretty easily get a junkyard motor for the same price, and (with supervision) teach your child a lot more about engines.

Why are smaller bullets deadlier? Because they're (typically) faster, and energy = mass*velocity squared.

welcome to Penn's Woods, Doug! Let me know if you're ever in the Lehigh Valley area and want to meet up with some fellow car folks.

I don't think this would last very long in stop & go traffic or hill starts.

A lot of military pilots have lost their lives just so that they could guide their crippled jet down to an unpopulated spot.

It wasn't in cold blood.
