I want to take the van out on that course! Are the rules about high cog? That could be a problem, bet if they let me run, I’d go full on A-team style.

Basically the entire packaging of the NA Miata. It doesn’t look throwback, but it was a complete throwback to RWD, I4 roadsters of the 60s. If I have to pick one feature thoug, it's the manual drop top.

An 87!? Why’d? If you are going to do an Allante, it should be a 93 with the Northstar V8. If that’s not available, then at least an 89-92 with the “upgraded” 200HP 4.5L.

Torch, just admit that nonviolent because it combines a Baja Big with Mad Max.

Back in the day we learned to ride on Trail 90s or 110s. The Grimnow basically a small wheel version of these bikes (it appears it’s probably a bit sportier.

I miss watching V8 Supercars regularly. The Bathurst 1000 is a great race that is kinda of a mash up of a couple great series: Endurance racing, touring cars, NASCAR.

Someone was selling a Clown Shoe in town a while back. I asked my wife if I could go like at it. “Sure. I’d love a BMW to drive to work”. Never looked at the car....

SxSs and ATV can be road registered here in Idaho. In fact, there is a mini truck place here doing pretty good because a lot (if not all) of the Kei class mini trucks from Japan can be imported and registered as an on-road ATV. Some even have one of those big “Amish Triangles” on the back to denote they are slow…

Gabriel's aren't bad either. IIRC, the make complete front units so you can just drop and replace if you don't want to compress springs. Probably easier since suspension work is always so much fun...

Come to Idaho man... I have seen everything in the areas surrounding Twin Falls: Scouts, Scout IIs, FJs, CJs, J-10s, Old School Wagoneers, Bromcos, K5 Blazers... Heck, I once saw a Fiat X1/9 on what appeared to be a K5 Blazer chassis parked at a house.

Never been tried before? Someone forgot about everyone’s favorite secret agent...

That's a VQ. Our local pull-a-part have a 3.5L VQ in the front awhile back and it looked exactly like that.

Geez, no I want a BRAT and to comvince you to come to Idaho. Nobody cares if you ride in the back of a normal pickup around here: in fact it’s not even illegal to do so.

KYb Gas-A-Justs are really nice. A bit firmer that the OEM (Excel G) ones, but the really tightened up our Mazda5 when I swapped out the rears. It’s firmer, but handles nieces and does a lot better when there is weight in the back.

Well sure me too, but my wife just commutes back and forth to work and could pretty much care less. For $6800, I could afford a new boring commuter car and still have $$ left over for fun and/or project cars and bikes.

Came here to see if you would trade about Elio Motors as there seems to be constant debate if it’ll happen.

The point of my economics professor was that money spent is a sunk cost. Economically speaking, it has no bearing on future decisions. Once you had $8000 in, you don’t use that to decide if you spend $2000 more. You base that decision on what else the $2000 could buy you.

My ‘95 Sable had the same wheezy 3.8L v6 as most of the Cougars. It's main advantage who as that it was FWD, so burning the go pedal would transfer enlist weight rearward to reliable spin the tires easily.. Of course, once it shifted to 2nd, all hopes of acceleration were quickly dashed.
