add a roll cage, boom instant stiffness....... of the chassis

Other than the fact it had to do with Jeeps, lines like “cutting the roof off of a unibody platform lower its moment of inertia about the cross-car neutral axis, and reduces its polar moment of inertia about the fore-aft axis” are a dead give away you’re reading a David Tracy article.

I’d find it kinda funny if after all the reports of a mid-engined Vette this is what it actually is, and the Vette itself stays Front-engined rear wheel drive.

Hopefully we can get a production Cien for once.

Seriously. And I can’t imagine there are too many other production or new media jobs in Bristol.

Nice timing, Skipper. Happy holidays.

Judging by the reliability and drama of their current car efforts, the first few corners of each F1 race will be very interesting

but comes with a filthy homeless vagabond he could fix up though

I started to say that Tracy should buy it, but it runs and drives.

That’s so stinking useful I seriously can’t believe with all the digital gauges we have now no one thought to include that.

Wait. THIS is where you draw the line? You’re telling me this poor thing is beyond saving by David Tracy’s Automobile Shelter For Misfit Machines?

Yes! Thank you, thank you.

Sweet CJ!

I love this story! its awesome to find these kinds of people! You should be sure to keep her address and drop a few mementos her way of the car living a new life.

All relatively normal, though. Where’s the gull-winged kei-cars?

Send me an email about this? patrick at jalopnik dot com. Thinking of buying from them too, so curious how it works.

8. Ryu (from Breath of Fire)

Ryu Hayabusa would be second on my list right after a dragon. Then yakuza’s Ryu. For Breath of Fire’s ryu though which ryu? becaause Breath of Fire 3 young Ryu is just too precious.

I got a good chuckle out of Moog jumping back when they first fired up the Impala. That car sounds evil.

Ehhh, I’m Team ‘Straya on this. Am I the only one who finds the whole “stuff a big engine in it” trick incredibly lazy? MCM built the more complete car.
