With Corolla mechanicals. That matters.

I have long had an absurd, wholly unjustified affection for this generation SSEi.   I have never driven one, nor have I sat in one.  I may be weird.

SVT Contour 2.5l V6. I had a 98 CSVT. I loved that car. I miss that car.

For the horn, Yankee Doodle.

I used to drive a 1997 BMW 540i6. Over that time, reliability became EXTREMELY important for me. Now, transporting two young kids every day, it has become vital.

This makes me nostalgic for the many trips I made to A wrecker on Navan, ON when I had my 300Z. At one point, I was there every week, and the guys would say “Hey, how’s it goin’? You know where they are....”

Speaking from experience, rust is the z31's achilles heel.

First off...WAAAAH! SLIDESHOW BOB!

Just like one of David’s Jeeps!

David, if that other engine checks out (rebuilt by a known, reputable shop, etc...), then you are turning a no-brainer into a brainer.

“The front end shows new headlights with an ugly notch headed towards, but not connected to, the kidney grilles, which are thankfully not the size and shape of an elephant’s head this time.”

Am I the only one (as I type this, I realized yeah, probably) who watched this video and saw the makings of a quirky romantic comedy?

“For Your Eyes Only” is IMHO the most underrated Bond film. You could see Fleming writing a book like that, and Connery (or yes Dalton) starring in it, even with the flourishes like the hockey “game” and the bobsled run. The story is cohesive, and it’s a fine response to the way, way, WAAAAY over the top “Moonraker.”

playing the scene where Lois confronts him about his identity. No effects, nothing, but he literally changes into Superman before your eyes. He was so clearly THE person for that part, that it was incredible. No one’s matched it since, though I thought Brandon Routh was a credible Clark Kent.

And the wild part is, he only has about $4200 into the lot.

Had to be done.

I want to see the landing.  I also want to see the whole thing from launch to landing, in slow motion, with engine revving noises, and a couple of drunken Polish cousins shouting "YEEE-HAAAA!"

A shop vac with decent filtration.

They’re going, going, Ghosn.

Well, this is the first car I have seen that has an ass that looks like the face of a pissed-off catfish.....
