I like how it's a claw hammer.

Just about everywhere else in the world this is called "community"

Fix the caption of the picture. It should read

I somehow missed this QOTD. I'm going to argue an AE86 should be in place of the prepped MX5. Watch "Drift Bible" and listen to Keiichi talk about it and try NOT to go looking for one.

Probably the only car I could justify to myself to spend $100k on.

Agreed.

Those are stitch welds, and the panels are probably not meant to be terribly structural.

I was taught to express uncertainty in a much less uncertain way. Mainly, by stating it specifically: 8000 +/- 5.

I'm assuming those are the crane operators toward the end? The guy that steps into view in a sleeveless shirt is HILARIOUS.

I purchased an EP-2 from Amazon about a month ago. I am REALLY enjoying it. It is a power-user MILC, and was $200 for the body on Amazon. I bought an adapter, and have been using it almost exclusively with M42 lenses. It's power-user features make it VERY good at this. I could not be happier.

Charles Fayette Taylor is grandfather of internal combustion engine design. He was the director of the Sloan Laboratory for aircraft and automobile engineering at MIT from 1929 to 1960. He wrote one of the first books on modeling combustion. He lived to be over 100 years old.

In picture 2 the orange car in the background is a prototype which, in at least one form, had a rotary in it.

It reminds me a lot of the Alfa Romeo 105 series. In every good way possile and none of the bad ways.

This box has the lower bumper bar. It went right over the top of the wheels without even popping them. That's scary.

The Alfa 4C was supposed to be my perfect car. They have everything in the recipe right.

LIE!  Because it looked different in Steve MCQueen's LeMans, and anything involving Steve McQueen is truthier than anything NOT involving Steve McQueen.

I have been told washing out of PJ or CC pipelines in the 80's would get you sent anywhere the AF needed people, and that occastionally you'd see an airmen with awesome chest candy doing daring and interesting things like driving busses.

Since it's already a bastard, it's a perfect basis for a British/Japanese mash-up. Pull out the boat anchor and drop in a 4A-G or similar.

These aren't that special. We have them at a podunk factory in Danville, IL

Something I've always adored Mazda for is keeping the formula. When everyone else is taking their cars and continually making them bigger, heavier, more luxurious every generation, Mazda keeps the formula.
