You can’t close down! Isn’t Raph still bunking down in the back room?

Given it’s rear wheel drive you could drift this! Maybe, kinda. Somewhat. Maybe you could LS swap it as well.

This should be titled Saved by the Manual. My ‘87 Cabriolet is parked at a party by my son while he walks over to talk to friends (key left in ignition.) Someone jumps in, starts it, crams it into gear and throttles out of the parking space. Not really, he had it in reverse, backed up the rear-mounted bike rack into

Cornetto?

Ever heard of being “squared away”?

I’ve been using this technique to make my workspace to look organized since the 80's. Impresses everyone. Makes me laugh.

Least crashed plane I’ve seen in a while! Must’ve ejected at last moment!

I’m really impressed by his dedication to leaving his van encumbered by ladders and equipment.

“I got it! I got it! I got it! Shit!”

Diddling the Devil’s Doorbell.

That’s called ditch-hooking. Rally drivers do it occasionally when they want to risk the front suspension being torn off.

German manufacturers have to abide by a law that states any stats published about an automobile must be achievable by any vehicle obtained from a showroom floor. So if the advertising says it’ll hit 200mph rest assured that’s the least it will achieve.

Well now that you mention it the Mk1. Simply tossable. Produces lots of boy racer fun at speeds that don’t cause tickets. And the Cabriolet is even better since it’s a spec GTI with a folding top.

If VW starts removing chips/ECUs that give better performance and mileage could they start selling those as aftermarket/offroading performance upgrades? Maybe thru J.C. Whitney?

I see no way out unless we engage the human occupant in the decision making to evaluate the needed action. Maybe the car could ask as to what to do...

The ghostly image of this guy was seen in pits.

The wire-coin type is the best as they are gauged by the thickness at the bend in the wire (not the straight part of the wire). In the older days the gapping was more important as the electrodes wore down quicker. Today’s plugs use better electrode material and hotter spark to keep the system firing well as emissions

In reality very few rotors warp. They have to be very thin and awfully hot for that to occur. What causes that pulsing feeling in the brake pedal is the uneven buildup of pad material on the rotor. Here’s a link to a better explanation. http://www.powerstop.com/what-causes-br…
