It hurts his brain because it isn’t a ‘79 Raptor.

Most will know ‘parking lights’.
Nothing was sliced off either. 🤦♂️
Moving from South Florida to Colorado, I thought snow driving was going to have some sort of challenge or skill to it. Meh - if you had any interest in car control you tested your limits every day and this gave you the skill and experience to adapt.
Hooray for manual transmission cars with manual handbrakes!
In Florida you would have to show proof that the car was inactive, or retroactively pay for all those missing years of registration and somehow show your proof of insurance for all those years. Otherwise they will not register it.
I still listen to the car, road and wind. Very little artificial noise.
Looks more MID4 than Fairlady to me...
One of these tried to keep up with me after I passed it in traffic (mostly based of lane choice during the commute home and not speeding through traffic). It was beautiful and it sounded great - enough that I tried to look up what it was when I got home. Was never satisfied that I found the right AM... This was it!
I remember lots of folks replacing the bumpers with a working one instead of the decorative ones that trucks seemed to come with. You were going to take that tinfoil off of there anyway.
I was glad to read the fresh perspective on the weekends - best to you :)
Foot on the clutch is normal for a reasonably modern car to allow the starter - not the brake.
I have friends that own several Vipers including an ACR. The regular Viper will go over 190 and the ACR with all the downforce is about 20 mph down at top speed. The ACR inspires much confidence though as it is not ‘floaty’ at speed. They use the ACR as a pace car at Sebring events, and do top speed tests on the Cape…
Recaro. I had LS and KRX seats in the eighties and they (plus cinch seat belts) locked you in place for precision input to your controls. Comfort for long distance was also great with bi-annual 4000 mile trips. I am missing two discs in my lower back and my back would get out of alignment and pinch nerves - sitting in…
I had a ‘79 Golden Eagle 4-speed from new, and although the 360 seemed fine, it was never as drivable as I liked. It started up quick, but ran poorly until it warmed up (ambient temperature 70f), and kept cracking the right exhaust manifold. I always thought about a mild Chevy 350 as a replacement to likely improve…
One of the FBOs at our airport had a ZAP 3-wheeled flatbed to ferry parts and stuff around... Seemed like a perfect application for that little thing.
Now look in the mirror and think about how you should do better with what you publish. Always easier to criticize than to learn.
Corolla Wagon with manual transmission please. I would love a performance engine. I would buy a performance suspension and brakes. Do not need safety nannies or luxury items - just A/C and anti-lock brakes. AWD if you must, but not needed. $30,000 or less please. Thank you.
You people?
I enjoyed your writing and articles. Your pieces had the best use of grammar and English - and had well expressed opinion and well researched fact. I no longer take those things for granted so yours were appreciated. Only one bad take - where you promoted banning things that you personally didn’t like (I don’t like…
