There isn’t a lot of overlap between the people who take their cars to the track and the people who take their cars to the drag strip. I don’t hear a lot of complaints from Miata owners about their drag times but I wouldn’t read into it as meaning anything positive.

I bought a Scirocco many years ago that had been in storage with half a tank of fuel for a few years. Shortly after acquiring it, the fuel pump burned out. I didn’t think too much of it — I just swapped it out. Then that pump must have been defective as it died soon after. Huh. Swapped that and it died again.

Seems pretty level headed, reasonable, and under control compared to Kanye though.

🤷🏼‍♂️

My car is literally at the welder’s right now getting this attached to the frame. (It’s just sitting in position to test the fit in this photo.)

My favorite didn’t make the cut, as someone surely mentioned the folks that speed up to keep you from changing lanes once they see your indicator come on. These are the same folks that change lanes by diving into yours and cutting you off as they assume you’d not let them in because you must be an asshole just like…

That’s not someone with busy feet. That’s someone who uses a foot for each pedal and wonders why their Kia always needs new brakes.

They ticket the vin, which they almost always get wrong, and the ticket goes straight into the trash. Then your smug ass gets pulled over later and the car gets impounded.

It seems a number of you are slower than I.

No kidding. I could feel an allergy attack coming on.

If I had to choose I’d pick the unreliable batshit insane one.

You’re correct. You can send your heartbeat to your significant other, or, you know, your boss or random phone numbers I guess.

That car has been for sale for MONTHS. I love Sciroccos but that’s such a crack pipe it’s a bit insulting to actual crack pipes.

I’ve been through worse but watching a 4' ribbon of tire disappear into traffic in my rear view while on three wheels at 80+ mph with no brakes is worth a mention.

Apparently I’m not getting the good shit after all. Goddamn drug dealers have zero ethics.

I’d wager $50 that if he didn’t have his girlfriend with him that car never would have gone anywhere near a guardrail.

I bought it with it all done. The guy I bought it from bought it from a co-worker who had neglected to maintain it and who didn’t want to spend the money it required. Being a mechanic with an engine hoist and a garage he did all the work he felt confident doing and farmed out the remaining and made a few bucks in the…

There are other genius aspects to his strategy as well. Think of all the incidental savings — how much is that guy shelling out for birth control, for instance?
