Sold it to the guy (who is a LeMons organizer) and it promptly blew up so I felt bad. We fixed it, tried again to race it in Kentucky (with me on the team) and it blew up again.

About a year ago, I was looking for a complete car as a motor donor for my Quantum Syncro Wagon 24 Hours of LeMons race car that I had recently sold (and, which, the new owner had even more recently blown up).

Formula Drift isn’t racing. Full stop.

Sir....I simply bow down to you. You are the ULTIMATE VW owner. My sad little list of Quantums, diesel pickups, Rabbits and Audi 5000s pales in comparison!

And...
Propane-powered Audi Avant? Oh. My. God.

Also, this video, same car:

Anyone who thinks an Aveo is boring needs to watch this video:

Coupe comes from the French decoupé(=to cut).. So it is pronounced cou-pay (coupé).. I never understood the ‘Muricans on coup pronounciation..

I used to love the Scoupe. Especially entertaining was how the monosyllabic “scoop” pronunciation was altered by the Brits to the incomprehensible 3-syllable “S-coup-ay” (which I learned from an old TG challenge).

My 1991 Hyundai Scoupe is getting prepped for LeMons duty. Once it's reassembled I'll have to find some sweet jumps to take it off of.

More manual transmission elitism. Must be a day ending in Y. If the Internet existed in the 1910s, I'm sure you'd have people bitching about electric starters and how cranking the engine over manually is far superior. Technology has moved on, and the manual transmission is being left behind, as it should.

Porsche's spherical tank for Type 909 Bergspyder. Overspressure system allowed to exclude fuel pump and save 1.7 kg.

This elevates NASCAR but degrades Nick Offerman.

Weirdly I get off on watching other people drive my cars or ride my motorcycles. It's really the only way to hear and see your vehicle in motion when you're not in it, unless you have somebody filming it while you drive it and who has really good audio equipment, and really, who has the time, am I right?
