Aren’t the outdoorsy folks in Subarus and not Jeeps?

You clearly aren’t from a small town. I grew up in a town much smaller, much much much farther away from a major population center and there were absolutely people making good money driving $100k cars around.

My aunt is about to trade in her manual, JL, Unlimited, Sahara, on a Sahara 4xe.

The cords provide sufficient flexibility without adding redundancies to a car that already cost a lot to make. Maybe you’d put one on the other side, but overall, by the driver’s door probably makes the most sense. 

Can we all agree that the issue isn’t dealers marking cars up it’s dealers existing in the first place.

Ah altezzas....at least these are factory.  Outside of Lexus, did anyone else try to jump on the altezza-style fad from stock?  I can’t remember any.....

• It has individual intakes for each cylinder.

OMG THAT NOISE!!!

This is Paul Lanzante. If he says to start it like that, you do so. He’s isn’t practically an expert. He is an actual expert.

It uses mechanical fuel injection, probably Kugelfischer and the fan is for engine cooling since the 917 is air cooled. 

You are assuming that all three of the occupants were idiots, and that may be the case, but maybe not.

just needs a bigger skimmer

I remember working on my Sprite as it was held off the ground by some cobbled up assortment of bricks and lumber being used as jack stands. A particularly stubborn nut had the car rocking back and forth on the stands. I remember thinking, “If the car starts falling off I will need to slide out of here pretty quickly”…

I mean it’s the police saying it, so yeah. They do tend to exaggerate. Like a “massive drug bust” for a dude with a few ounces and 3 plants.

When I was 16, I had a then-new Trans Am that my parents gave me as part of their years-long attempt to make sure I was an insufferable spoiled brat, and one night while trying to impress a girl on our first date, I damn near killed us thinking I was on one road that continued straight over a hill while I was really…

Not until you’ve seen a countless number of hi-po cars and bikes completely totaled with less than 50 miles on the odometer. The driver’s own limitations, as well as those of the vehicle, are frequently not in the equation.  

Back in the day, I used to try to double corner speed signs, with occasional success, in my Bugeye Sprite. Probably the only reason I did not die in the attempt was that the car had a top speed of slightly over 80 mph, so I could not double any sign over 40 mph.

I think the odds are better that a dumb young adult was showing off and completely forgot the corner existed until it was too late. Based on my armchair analysis of the trajectory it looks like he tried like hell to make it though.

Owned, stolen or rental, it doesn’t matter.
