as I floundered and made his rig scream like a rhino getting his dick powersanded.

Those are all very good points. I agree with your points on why Russia has had a green light so far in the region. I will however disagree with you on the fact that the president has had a week foreign policy. I say this as an american living in a foreign country, a third world foreign country that has used the…

My two cents on the matter basically boils down to precisely that. I am fully aware that Russia if fully capable of bringing to bear twice as much firepower as we would be able to funnel into the Ukraine. But it would come at a higher cost for the Putin as opinion might shift against him as soon as he began loosing…

I agree with your conclusion about Ukraine being another Vietnam, that is why I do not want boots on the ground or aircaft in the sky. What I would like however is for the Ukranians to be able to fight for themselves. The most effective weapon used by the "rebels" is artillery. In the end the reason everyone wants…

I don't think we should be giving Ukraine our most complex weapons. What they need most of all apparently is artillery, as well as meds and food. In this day and age I don't think we would even have to arm them with western weapons. I previously mentioned the Mujahideen because all we did was give them a way of…

This leading from behind strategy that the President has implemented has been proven once again to not work at all. It is time that the U.S. start arming the Ukranian forces in the same way the C.I.A did with the mujahideen in Afghanistan. What is to stop Russia from invading other neighbors in the region with the…

No none at all. I sure wouldn't want to be driving a GTR or even a Corvette on any of these roads. I went to my cousins wedding in Miami a few years ago. It was a revelation. I had lived for years in the North East so crappy roads were nothing new to me. But driving in FL and not having a single pot hole to contend…

Yeah the Renault was back during better times. Nowadays we get some of the Dacia line rebadged as Renault's. The Logan mostly. There was an original Viper at a Dodge dealer many many years ago. But I am guessing that got shipped back to the sttes. I am more shocked by why someone whould own a certain car in this…

I this country Chevy usually dumps the crap that they can't sell anywhere else and people here buy them in droves. The Aveo was a huge seller and the Optra was as well It was later replaced by the Cruze Chevy has really sold mostly crap. The biggest car they have sold was the Impala in SS trim, but the FWD one. It…

I can completely relate. I have had a myriad of electrical issues with it, but it is not the cars fault. They have all been the fault of the rats nest wiring that some hack mechanic turned the wiring loom into. I have rebuilt my engine completely once though. The piston rings cracked and she smoked horribly. Also…

Yeah I figured that as soon as I hit send. I can only imagine those things appreciating more and more over time.

I can't check ebay at work (stupid firewall), are there any 850CSi for sale? That would be the one to get. That damned thing still looks amazing 20 plus years later.

Defintely has to be a top 3 contender. I might even consider it for number 1. So much want, but so expensive to repair. But then again what V12 isn't expensive to repair?

The only ones with the V12 are the BMW era Rolls, everything prior had the 6.75L V8.

Irony? lol yeah not so much. You are not far from the truth. My daily is a 92 Buick Century Limited with around 500k. It just refuses to die. Maintenance is as cheap as it gets. Also have a 2010 Chevy Optra which is equivalent to the Suzuki Forenza in the states except it has a 1.8 instead of the 2.0 that the…

For that kind of money I would much rather get an F355 hell, I would even prefer a 308 to the 348, but that is mostly a Magnum P.I. thing.

Importing is easy in the sense that you can practically bring in anything without too much of a problem. The real limiting factor is as always money. At this point in time cars cost as much as apartments. And those are the ones that you buy at the dealership. Last year a Ford Explorer XLT cost around Bs.7.000.000…

I drive a 92 Buick with well over 500k km (third world wages equal keeping your car a long long time). At one point I didn't even need a key to start it. The ignition switch was so worn that you could just get in and turn it and the car would start like nothing.

My sentiments exactly. This guy went all out building this engine. The only thing I wonder is why he chose the ZX12R as a starting point, but that is simply out of utter curiosity. It looks like a very compact, light weight engine that would be ideal for swapping into a lot of applications. It is kind of like a Mini…

Single cab short bed, it is either that or the double cab. In the Ford camp we get only the F-250 well tecnically we also get the 350, but that is without a bed 99.9% of the time. For the most part no diessels to speak of. The nicest cars here are all grey market imports. Hell even the government brings vehicles in…
