Nice! I remember his Corvairs from my dad’s autocross days.

Be sure to include Warren Leveque in the racing history.

Wearing a facemask because smog.

Hmmm

Which toyota engine(s)?

That’s an interesting number, 1.6L...

Free yes, the point still though that its irrational - maybe even more extreme than spending money since this guy is only theoretically competing. Like you said, racers (especially wanna-bes) be crazy.

When your friend bench races on In-N-Out free wifi about a cammed LS for + internet points.....

Oh... so this is the list of cars most likely not to be routinely maintained and make 200,000 miles.

Haven’t been paying attention to GM ads...

Saw your post over on Oppo. Nice Combi!

I fixed a 1998 Neon, on purpose, in my garage, and proceeded to put another 100,000mi on it while casually considering myself a “Neon guy.”

6spds to many? Depends on the car and torques. The V8 Cadillac, yeah 6 could be too many. I3 Focus, 6spds works just fine.

My Volvo Amazon is the same way. Slider controls, whirring. Granted, not when I turn the key, but I have no idea if I slide them up is that on or down or combination between the three??? Down this way make it stop blowing heat on my leg. Nope. This way? Also no. Mystery.

That’s not an R53. An R56 maybe.

I lived in a town for year with out-of-state plates. The day I re-plated with in-state plates I get pulled over...

Strangest thing I’ve encountered was on a roadtrip was in a 1967 Volvo Amazon driving 2500mi from the West Coast through the Mid West a few years ago.

My dad has a 1937 Ford that belonged to his younger bother. A drunk driver tragically took his brother’s life at the age of 19. That Ford Slantback Tudor V8-60 sat in a barn until I was about 8 years old. I remember my dad pulling it out of the barn and through a hay field. He moved it to our garage. A couple…

I would agree hadn’t I recently purchased a similarly deep discounted dealer new vehicle. A 2015 model bought late 2016, less than 70mi on the odo. A sedan that, optioned the way I had, only came in a manual for the year. The 2016 model updated to automatic.

Until $4/gal gas. 1yr maybe?
