I once came across a bunch of brand new, abandoned MG and Rover products sitting under an overpass in downtown Beijing. This was about 15 years ago, in 2005/2006 when that company’s future was totally up in the air.

And of course, the LS400 has a stupid timing belt, which has to be replaced every so often and is expensive as fuck

Not really. They do have to be replaced every 90K miles, but someone that can read directions and operate a wrench can do it in 2 hours and less than $300 in parts which includes the water pump, gaskets,and tensioners.

8k of that sum is probably labor because Matt doesn’t wrench. These cars really don’t break other then the power steering system and subsequent alternator from fluid leaking on it. Brakes,bearings,bushings, and timing belt/water pump service are wear items and need to be replaced due to age no matter the miles. The…

Looks like all their other bikes? Did you look at the photos? I guess the future custom looks a little V-Rodish. The others don’t resemble anything that Harley sells.

It is not that uncommon. Pace cars are driving really fast and has much worse handling than the race cars (tires are much colder and they are not suppose to heat them by snake drive) so... He’s not the first and, for sure, he’s not the last one.

Because humans have binocular vision and this camera doesn’t. When it is so close to your face like this you will not even notice it while racing just like your own nose.

Looks like it doesn’t block the view at all to me. Honestly, once the drivers get in the zone, they probably forget it’s even there.

An absolute beast was the twin-turbo 5.0 litre V10 unit from the C6-generation Audi RS6. Now that thing sounds like it’s trying to murder you when it hits redline. Combination of V10 roar and deafening turbo scream.

I just seriously wish that they give it an automatic, because otherwise it will be just another sales flop. I truly do love the Viper, and the stick shift with a V10 are its defining traits, but (in my opinion at least) the 5th gen did not sell very well because it lacked an automatic which many sports car owners want…

To be honest it sounds safer than keeping it in the pit near all the people, fuel, cars, oil, etc.

The pros of Canada, though (specifically the drift scene) is cheap as hell JDM cars. Non-turbo S15s go for $5k-$6k all day. R33 Skylines are practically free. There is a massive surplus of cheap JDM cars 15-25 years old coming to Canada at insanely low prices.

Time to go buy some Honda Groms!

As I recall they actually did a lot of fabrication. That was why I watched the show. The son did actually have building skills and they did actually build bikes.

My favorite:

It really is a great meme

To be fair they weren’t really “building” bikes anyways.

I always wondered how those dopey, agro white trash “reality” shows continued to thrive. I mean, what kind of slack-jawed mental midget could swallow a bunch of stupid low-brow machismo, loosely tied around motorcycle building or storage lockers or fishing or gold prospecting or whatever?

That is a Million Mile engine surrounded by a 50,000 mile truck.
