Speed thrills but kills!

So close... Save the head, for parking lot or bed.

Be kind, please abide (the parking lot lines).

That looks really close. It’s hard to judge the scale though..

If the planes aren’t needed in Syria, the question becomes, where are they needed?

Done a few stupid things, like a reverse burnout that killed the reverse gear in an ‘89 Firebird with a 305, and backed out of a garage a little too hastely, tearing the front bumper on an MX-3, and chopped the front springs on a Fiero a bit too much so that it rode on bump stops, and tried to tap into the 12v lead…

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who’s done that. Lesson learned, the 5-speed in an ‘89 Firebird Formula with a 305 will handle a burnout in reverse. Once.

You could compare the diameter of the wheel in the rear to the diameter of the wheel in the front, and calculate the % change. Taking that % change, you could deduce the size of the garbage can if it was travelling the same speed, and and map out progressively larger (motion stretched) sizes of said garbage can, to…

Following in the tracks of another Estonian.

I was born in 1981, and moved into the US in 1993, so any first-hand experience at its release I may have is indeed limited. I still stand by my statements of it conjuring negative emotions though (doesn’t really matter when those emotions are conjured, whether at a cars release of 30 years later). And maybe “boxy”…

Race cars, sports cars, SUV’s

Could have been worse. Could have been similar Classir Rock crap that most US automaker commercials are set to.

I would call this a “manipulated” engine noise. It’s a Fiero with a 3.4L swapped in. It keeps some of the stock Fiero throatiness, but adds more rasp. The slipping clutch bugs me a bit though..

BOV and duck call awesomeness.

“Oh well. I guess there’s a lesson here — don’t use your home-made license-plate hiding system if you even think there’s a cop behind you.”

I use the box wrench end of a ginormous 32mm Craftsman combination wrench as a breaker bar. Agree with you on the McGyver comment.

I disagree. I would not recommend learning to fix cars on an 4.2L Audi A6 for example. This even for an otherwise experienced mechanic. That’s the fastest way to get someone to give up. Instead, a late 80s early 90s US car would be a much better first car to work on. Parts are still easy and cheap enough to find (in…

A step-ladder?
