Another guy living the dream...

Please tell me they are going to replace the tires... don’t care how nice they look, that is way past their drive by date. I see a pristine Jeep in a roll over disaster after one of those things let’s go on the highway.

I was thinking more along the line of...

Neutral: in our housing development my wife’s red Ram pickup and my red Audi are the only non-bland colored vehicles I have seen. Makes me real nervous about the stepford community we bought into...

‘66 Mustang, 289 3 speed. Lovely aftermarket Hurst shifter. Not so lovely decade old install with no lock washers or locktite. Sitting at the main redlight (on a two lane road, small town) in downtown Oscoda Michigan mid-day after leaving work at Wurtsmith AFB. Light changes, go to shift into 1st... lever comes off in…

Agreed, a Versa is a mobile torture device, not a car. Worst rental ever.

I like fumbling about and twisting things randomly... but my wife says I am doing it wrong. Go figure.

And I thought Ford was bad with the RS and GT350...

Miss both my ‘14 FoST and my ‘16 FiST, but then I console myself with the S3 and I am ok again, just hatchbackless.

Other markets get all the cool buttons...

1968 Ford Fairlane at my first duty station, Wurtsmith FAB Michigan. It was composed of wadded up newspaper under gallons of bondo, held up by airshocks on way too wide L60 bias ply tires. Looked wicked awesome... heh

Obviously his huge brass testes lowered his center of gravity enough to make the save.

So if you compensate and compromise and practice you can almost be as good as a RWD or AWD setup... maybe. Having done the Mini Cooper S, Fiat Abarth, Focus ST, and Fiesta ST thing, I am fine with staying with right wheel drive now. Leaves me free to compensate for other things...

Having done a valve job on one of these beasts back in the day, I have to say no. Not only do you buy into Lucas, Prince of Darkness electricals, you also have a motor that is nearly impossible to work on as well. Better to go with a nice v8 model and do an LSx swap.

You’re description of the work part sounds like my normal business day, no medication required, just mindless ennui...

Ah, so all caps is the new sarcasm font, very good.

I was gonna say it sucks, but yeah, what you said...

I am sorry, but the terms “sports car” and “Eclipse” are mutually exclusive. Might as well buy a used Chrysler Sebring... no, not really, that is actually slightly worse. How about a Miata? Bet you never heard that before...
