At least add a manual, it’s an ST after all but I guess that means nothing now.

PANTHER = 16 x 1 x 14 x 20 x 8x 5 x 18 = 3,225,600

1 - rear end impact causing a fire in a DeLorean: Maybe the exhaust was cracked or partially blocked, or both. A hot jet of gasses would ignite wiring or hoses pretty quickly, especially since the guy apparently tried to pursue (i.e. heavy throttle, since it was way short on power).
2 - the Rite-Aid story: insurance co…

Weight in the bed will make the ride less bouncy. It won’t fix a bad balljoint.

You can’t blame boring people for not wanting change in their lives...

Agreed, find out what the code is first (free at those car shops), and I’d suggest doing so in short time. Then research the code online to see what action is needed.

Entropy is a real motherfucker.

eh... there’s a somewhat debated effect called the mpemba effect that holds that hot water freezes faster than cold.

it’s sorta junk science, or hard to pin down. as when you get right down to it, ice and water, are incredibly complex scientific areas. so when true scientists get involved with “ice” it gets goofy…

Your Idiot is the most important job title I have, and I wear it with pride.

These are contradictory statements.

I don’t think I’ll ever get over Macho Grande. Those wounds run...pretty deep.

It just reminds me of that day over Macho Grande.

It takes a lot of money to look this cheap.

I guess my issue with this car, versus his Zero Fucks RX7 was that the RX7 had a functionality to it. Needed a spot for an oil cooler, pop it out of the hood.

I just... I don’t get it. I’ve done ridiculous janky stuff. I road tripped a $1 junkyard Nissan Sentra 1000 miles. I used Mitsubishi parts and welder to make an ill-advised but very functional turbo setup on a 1.6 Miata. I have a 1977 Jaguar with a Chevy V8 in it. This is ridiculous and janky, but it’s ridiculous and…

Draguar = Awesome

I should try that with my beetle’s old carb that i (needlessly) replaced.

Right now most of our roads are a delightful mix of hard packed snow mixed with ribbon ice and no attempt by road crews to treat it other than a token sprinkling of sand at only the very worst spots. In other words, a playground for my WRX with winter tires. Oh, forgot to mention the forecast today is blowing snow…

Two things he neglects to mention: the conditions were terrible, especially for rear wheel drive cars at VIR for that Lightning Lap, which literally took place during a lightning storm and a torrential downpour.

This is very situational and there are a lot of variables. A FWD car can be much ligher than similarly sized/powered RWD and AWD vehicle and weight matters more than people realize. I have seen far too much domination of FWD cars at autocross events to dismiss it. I have carved tight canyons in FWD cars where I am…
