At a Car Show held weekly at the local Go Cart Track, there appears a Pontiac Solstice with an LS1 conversion. It’s pretty damn slick, and the engine fits like a glove. With the hood down, you would never know. If you are gonna do something to a car like this, at least it should still look like the original car and no…

It’s not that hard. I got to drive one at a local museum. It’s like driving a car with a different manual shift pattern, you quickly adapt. And they are so slow you have plenty of time to think about it. Ultimately, they are kind of like driving a lawn tractor in that you set the throttle to whatever and just mostly go…

You and me both. This museum will attempt to actually teach you to drive a Model T:

Given how the functions of the Model T’s pedals are so bizarrely different from the usual clutch/brake/throttle arrangement as one of the dudes showed the Ford Guy, I’d like to know how he rewired his brain to actually drive it.  I couldn’t.

ABS may need to communicate with the ECM/ECU/Whatever is managing the engine. Not sure why and not sure it’s universal, but I had a non-detectable misfire on one ignition coil and the ABS warning light came on to celebrate along with vehicle stability and some other not-an-engine module.

My guess is that the ABS module was removed to get the engine to fit

I wonder how much it would cost to replace the front end? Might be a reasonable way into one of these.

Yikes - I hope it was quick. Some things to keep in mind for the less sympathetic among the commentariat:

approximately 450 kilometers (280 miles) east of Lambton County

I always low-key wanted to build a Forester STi powered by a N/A EZ36 with a slight compression bump and a few choice bolt-ons.

There was a great Outback that was on the market a while back, that I’d seen in a few videos. It really nails that sound, too...

Well.... seems to me that there are always a few high maintenance-type suburban women who absolutely REEK of hair spray, perfume and other shit that just about makes me gag. They might as well kick them off the plane too. That and the babies who shit their diapers. Stupid babies...

Schadenfreude: it is by far, the best emotion....

Cybertruck, can serve only briefly as a car.

Maybe someday we’ll be able to 3d print a pressure hull around the equipment and passengers to make an ultra-strong vessel for short term underwater or space journeys that don’t require an exit until returning to the surface/Earth.

This simply proves that taxes on the ultra-wealthy are FAR too low.

In fairness, it probably wasn’t excruciating. More like “hey, what’s that sound?”

What do you call a bunch of billionaires at the bottom of the ocean?

I posted this in jest during the original doomed search. How is reality now turning itself into my lazy joke? I hate this timeline.
