This is what growing up with siblings is...

We all have a responsibility here to make sure the proud culture of C&C Mustang owners continues for the younger generation as well. :nods:

Carmax buys from big auction houses just like everyone else. They really don’t have access to a magical higher tier of used cars than any other dealer. Up here in the Northeast, I’ve driven a few Carmax vehicles (mostly Explorers, larger SUV’s) and they all seemed clean on initial inspection, but a harder look…

“Camaro SUV? What sort of moron would take a sports sedan and name an SUV after it?” Mitsubishi Motors

Ugly then, ugly now. The cool kids had GTP’s and their radio control steering wheel buttons

Wow! These cars sucked. In 1992 I had just graduated from college. I was in the market for a new car. Looked at these....briefly. Ended up buying a new Acura Integra with manual for about $15k. The Prelude SI was out of my price range.

CP when new, CP now, CP forever! God, the very sight of this shitbox makes me want to puke!

Your point seems to be that the location is relevant. When he in fact has a rolling chassis of a Lotus with a fucking V10 engine in it that he did himself.

All 4.0 Explorers use mass-air fuel injection. The MAF is over at the air box. If you had the intake boot off to spray starting fluid into the engine, the engine will not keep running, since as far as the computer is concerned, there is no air going into the motor.

You “choking” the motor likely just let it run long…

You’ve been working on jalops and your hand isn’t immune to fire yet? lol

The Tri-5 Chevy’s are very much like this. Let me illustrate.

Pininfarina’s Modulo “inspired” the Wingho Concordia II, a prototype that starred in Black Moon Rising, a film written (but no directed) by John Carpenter.

This.
This and the Carabo.

3-seater, sans body work.

Was hoping there’d be video. Whatevs.

Thanks, Google:

This car really is insane to see in person. So low to the ground.

You’ve not driven through West Texas. :/

I like to pop the brake pistons out while it is still all together. You don’t launch them across the room in a spray of fluid. You also did not address the real fun. When you get one piston out but not the other. Channel Locks and a vise and destroying piston time.

When popping the pistons, I recommend holding a wood block over the top of the pistons. Then you can pop them right out without having to worry about putting an eye out.
