Met!! This is a really bad photo of my dad’s. About 10 years later, he stripped it down to the frame and rebuilt it to get rid of all the rust once we were out in the desert where it was safe. I’m thinking it was a ‘59? I know it had the solid rear window and I’m almost positive there was a trunk access. It was his…
At first I was going to wonder if you by chance got that from Yuma, but my dad’s was fully painted— that one looks like it’s got some gray portions… (unless the guy who bought it from him messed it up…)
Yeah, yeah… I fully realize my stupidity now and recognize that it’s most definitely not to scale (unless you’re really zoomed in, then sorta for some, even if unintentionally). It’s good I don’t believe in an after-life as otherwise my dad’s ghost would have come back and given me quite the lecture… He spent a lot of…
Yeah, that would be terrifying too… Though they can at least arrange via altitude too. These kinda have to all be on the same plane (so to speak…)
How the heck are there not way more maritime accidents? That ship map is completely psycho!
Took 4 videos to finally see it move, but that was pretty awesome— basically built *around* the engine. :P I could have really done w/out the über patriotic music while it was taking off though as it drowned out the sound!
Almost 7 years later I still share this randomly as it’s the best Gen X piece ever!!
Ahhhh… That might explain it then. They’re on ethanol now, aren’t they?? We were wondering why it was so clearly visible and not that freaky-ass invisible fire we’ve seen videos of previously.
Contigo has 35% off sitewide too! (we needed some replacement lids, so yea!)

Fair point, the number of times I’ve whacked my helmet against the roll cage should have reminded me of that… (though padding that top bar, and my head being lower could help a little as a helmet every day would be awkward…). Seat/belt upgrades for everything too then! Plus, yet another excuse to not have to give…
It almost makes me want a roll cage in all our cars regardless (almost? nah, we already wanted them…). I have friends in stage rally who rolled and in a freak instance, the top front corner smashed into a bolder, completely caving in that corner of the car. That roll cage was the only thing that kept them alive and…
No kidding— how hard is it should it be to have shutting off the car as part of driving a car?? I know for a fact that shutting off the car is habit as we have a regular keyed 5-speed, a keyed automatic and a fobbed/proximity 6-speed. When I bounce between vehicles, I’ve noticed myself actually stop for a second when…
My husband never bothers— he knows damn well nothing can be done in that little time on the WRX. We can’t even get it to drink it’s coolant in an hour or so! Heck, we *both* spent about 4 hours working on 2 suspension bolts the other day… (we’re slowly getting them all broken loose so as soon as we get the chance, we…
My hockey bag/sticks was my main requirement when I got my car (I wanted the bag preferably in the trunk because of, well, stink…). :D And yet I still bought a TSX and have plenty of room… (1st Gen, before it got bloated). Heck, the biggest thing I looked at was a Mazda 3. Oddly, the guy at the Mini dealer in…
I wanted our BRZ as much as my husband… so we used my mom to decide if we should get it. :D (our savings were solid for it, and even she couldn’t argue against it :P )
We were at a RallyX and took our BRZ as the “support vehicle” as it was the easiest to put the WRX’s wheels in. :D I think we had the wheels, bin, helmets, cooler… Passenger seat was empty and unmoved. The jack probably went in the WRX, but it’s pretty big, though we probably could have slid it in there still. I…
We got my futon and most of my stuff into a friend’s RX7 for summer storage one year. Gotta love a hatchback indeed!
It’s almost ridiculous what we can fit in the BRZ…
So I am no groundhog expert, but I think they avoid people.
I was in Eugene (Oregon) visiting my cousin— we were at a bar on a casual afternoon as she wanted a beer. I was over 21, don’t drink beer and just wanted water… They wouldn’t accept my *Arizona* license and almost threw me out… I can’t imagine what they would have done with a foreign license… And they’re a college…
