So you are described as a car pundit, is David Tracy described as a rust worshiping sidekick ?

I used to pushstart my Mini when the starter died- I would open the drivers door and give it a good shove jump in, pop the clutch and go- I sold a 61 Beetle to a couple of brothers who drove it to Chicago without a starter motor, they tried to park on hills all the time

It’s because by the time you finish a project you don’t ever want to see that car again, plus you see all the faults and corners you cut. I used to work in a shop that restored Jaguars and seeing XK120s going out the door made me happy- the E-types not so much

Yeah trusting some poutine eating, Pepsi swilling guy you met a Le Club Super Sexe to hotrod your Tesla is a bad idea- probably will leave Export A butts in the trunk too

So this isn’t a regular part of growing up ? who knew 

A boat, a hole in the water that you attempt to fill with money

My statement was indicating that it seems the design is defective not the manufacture-as Ford and Getrag would be enforcing quality control on their manufacturer. I worked in a company that got very complex castings from China- we checked them and after about 18 months got a weird batch that were way out of spec- it…

I feel the same way about Billy Bragg

I suspect that it was designed to a price point and that the country of manufacture has little to do with the issues in this case

They are very expensive as the Maltese apes steal them all

Had a girlfriend who was torn between black and silver, I suggested silver she decided on black- first winter she had the car geese would stand on it to keep their feet warm and poo all over it- it burned the clearcoat in nice goose log shapes

Cops- arresting shirtless trailer park residents for 32 years

I’m waiting for the Night and Fog edition

Does Rockauto have a Changli drop down box yet ?

Silly Putty shipping boxes ?

Scimitar and 1800, two cars on my bucket list, now get a Goggomobil Dart and we can be car brothers

Could throw in a Sunfire too

I see Glas 911 and 411 in this design- but it didn’t come together all that well

Until you find that you have to pull the transaxle and torque tube and exhaust to get to those bushings-

Also the first cars tend to be cheaper cars- driven by inexperienced drivers so they have a higher accident rate which would indicate more fatalities- this was explained to me why the insurance rate on my Mitsubishi Mirage was higher than my 350z
