yep, my current is amazing and refuses to let me sell it since our first date was helping me rebuild the engine.
My RX7 has not attempted to kill me, but it tried to kill/injure my ex twice... once the vehicle effectively trapped her in it while idling in a garage (door was open but wind changed), and once the power window motor crushed her fingers. Both electrical glitches, as the wiring on these cars is famous for being a bit…
For some cars, like the Mclaren F1, the VIN is worth more than the rest of the car.
Hmm... recent gold heist... perfect cover organization for being an arms dealer... something tells me MI5 and/or Interpol will be keeping a close eye on this guy’s finances...
Fun fact, in ‘07 there were 14 registered in the US... 14.
“Difficult to afford”? Automakers have been using Inconel for nearly 3 decades (if not longer) in passenger car exhaust systems!
Curious story about cheater parts... My manufacturing prof used to be the engine engineer for a NASCAR team back in the 90s, he had several stories, but one comes to mind...
RCR have a way with identifying and conveying car cultures...
K, good troll post, 8/10.
Completely spot on. My weekend car is an FD, but my daily is a JK. Due to the high CG and the heavy-duty clutch, it’s easier to have a smooth shift in the FD (even with Al flywheel and up-rated clutch) than the wrangler which makes it a fun challenge to drive cleanly. Also since it’s dynamics are completely different…
One of the first nights driving my FD “In My Head” by QotSA came on the radio. There was a light drizzle earlier so the road had that dark shimmer to it.
While the maintenance and parts can be more hard to come by than, say, your garden-variety Geo
The 356.
It’s good to point out that there’s a difference between a modest pace and running the Baja 1000 on the morning commute (glorious SE MI roads). Modern (and I’m pretty sure all) SUVs were designed to handle “offroad” conditions slowly; in fact most offroad vehicles tackle obstacles, even small ones, at a relatively low…
Nice write-up, however some other considerations should be taken before deciding to not have new OEM bushings installed.
If you're seriously that far from a track, there are much quieter places to run than the middle of town at a light. Check with your local clubs if there are events put on by the authorities. You could also look into autocross/rallycross as well; that happens with no formal track.
More than any engine I've owned, the rotary seems to only really be alive after a good stretch, I don't know how to describe it otherwise... It's like a groggy teenager until you give em a 16oz red bull.
Suppose johnny metro driver ain't the greatest at driving straight? If he turns into you or god forbid mows down a pedestrian after the aforementioned light, you're still held responsible for his actions.
As a Floridian who moved up here two years ago for the same purpose, here's a TL;DR:
