This complex recently (within the last couple of years) changed hands and the new owner(s) have done a lot of work on the grounds. As few as 8 years ago I would have said stay away, but it's quickly becoming a regular weekend destination for our family.

And all those weekend warrior track cars floating around the 'burbs are built by completely normal, well-endowed, mother loving 'Muricans?

or if you don't want to scratch the paint

Oh absolutely. But if my bumper is a quarter-inch off square because the frame on my old truck isn't as straight as it once was.... I'm not building a six-figure show car here. I just want something, fast, loud and fun.

On the flip side of this is that sometimes my "good enough" isn't quite up to the professional standards my father-in-law instilled on his little girl. And that's kind of annoying. :/

Or "White Zombie" the "world's fastest street legal electric" Datsun 1200. http://www.plasmaboyracing.com/whitezombie.ph…

I put a hamster in mine. He ain't quite right anymore.

No compressor in the under hood shot.

Its a bimmer for less than $2k. Was there ever really any doubt? Most pointless NPOCP EVAR!

How exactly the CT6 will be marketed with a V8, I do not know.

Should have given it a DARE paint job. Nobody would have batted an eye.

This is an awesome event and I hope someday to get to visit in person. I'm, frankly, jealous that you got to attend on someone else's dime. But, I'm going to disagree with it being the "best car event, period."

This!

Unlike when I bought my Scion (its a Camry drivetrain wrapped in cool kid's clothes!), I doubt that Pontiac dealers were advertising the Vibe as a Matrix with a GM warranty. I generally try to be an optimistic person, but when it comes to people buying stuff I believe [most] people don't usually do their homework.

I think part of the problem lies in the fact that nobody really knows what's impacted, and there's no real easy way to figure out which cars are "on the list." Its just so far spread out nobody has the ability to say "GM is killing you" or "Toyota doesn't care for your safety" or "BMW wants your lease payment more…

Is this the 'Murican version of a Caterham?

Fail!

Caps on sideways. Possible signs of being messed with? The gangsta look gets an auto CP from me.

This is kind of a neat idea. With some (very) minor mods I could see this as a factory delivered wheel-chair accessible vehicle. Which is a market that's begging to be exploited. My folks bought a $30k Sienna and then had a $30k conversion done so my dad could roll his chair in. To add insult to injury, they're still…
