Did you get a discount from Japanese Classics for the write-ups and page clicks you've been getting them? Before you started this process I know I never would have thought it could be so easy to import a car and how simple a company could make it. I thought we were still kind of in the days when I asked the guy at a…

Man the cages\frames on those things are pretty amazing. I assume they get tested on a regular basis with this type of event but it sure looks like a lot of un-reinforced bends to become failure points should it flip and tumble.

The long sad story of my '06 M5. When I bought it the car had a few minor issues but seemed mostly solid and like a great deal. I knew that the dealer I bought it from got it at auction and had the local BMW dealer fix whatever was wrong with the engine. Well that's what I thought at least. One of the coil packs goes…

That frame isn't even close and that car as it sits would never make a driver again, at least not a safe one. As a source of parts for some other project $18k for the engine, harness, transmission, brakes, suspension partial interior seems like a pretty good price.

Cleveland Pick a Part\ Power and Performance depending on which sign you read. One of the best places to source drivelines in the entire country.

I love my Hakkas and they are worth the hassle to find here in the US, where most retailers don't carry Nokians, and the bit extra cost to buy compared to any other snow tire I've ever used.

Wait, are you claiming that Patron actually makes a good tequila? I read the linked article and at $300 a bottle I won't be trying it given the quality of their other offerings but I'm actually curious if it was truly good or just expensive.

Pretty sure it survived, but it's probably never flown that high in its life."

How many have they built? If they've sold five and had two on stage at Geneva, one that burnt on Top Gear and however many they've had to sacrifice to the gods of road safety in the US and EU it would seem that they've probably built a dozen or more. Economy of scale has to be hitting soonish you'd think at the…

Have you ever purchased a supercar? Not really a supercar but I own an '06 M5 which despite having four doors has more power and speed than a lot of supercars do.

I got it when it was an app of the day and was free. Soundtrack is amazing with headphones and the game was sort of addictive but I found I dropped it for other games within a week because it didn't hold my interest. I haven't even reinstalled it on my iPhone 6.

Damn East side drivers. :)

Kinja won't let me link more than one picture per post today.

Well, both Ford and GM produced refrigerators (and other kitchen equipment like ranges as well). I once helped build a kegerator out of an old Philco (A division of Ford Motor Company) refrigerator.

Work slowdowns. I've never understood that bargaining tactic myself. "We're worth more (deserve better benefits, shouldn't be able to be fired for watching porn at work, whatever the issue of the year is) so we're going to prove it by working less." A lot of these people live and die by their overtime checks and…

Very cool time lapse of different animals especially the feeding corals. Kind of wish there was more that was not filmed under black light since the sunlight non-fluorescing colors of many of these animals is just as amazing.

My first thought was basically the same. Oh those poor shifter bushings.

All that money to buy the car and absolutely no taste in color combinations. Dark blue and bare carbon, well that's good. Yellow accents and wheels? Well that's not good. Green calipers under the yellow wheels? Well that's really not good. I wonder if the interior is yet another contrasting color.

When my grandfather retired from Lima engine he received a lamp made out of the crank shaft from the V8 truck engines he worked on for most of his career. My father has the lamp now and I REALLY want it. The biggest problem is that it weighs right around 150 pounds because well it's a crank shaft not a cam shaft so…

Is it on the menu or do they actually have it in stock? Each of the four Tequilas I asked for last time I went in there was "out of stock". I think that is because their menu is more than a bit of a pipe dream rather than a reflection of what they actually have or maybe have ever had on there shelves.
