“I started wrenching for myself out of necessity” I suspect that’s how most people get into it.

Paint the blue parts black, put some bat logos on it and BOOM, next Batmobile.

Sorry!  I read when not driving.  Working from home means no Morning Edition. 

It’s probably worth mentioning that my dad raced what was easily the fastest road-racing Pinto back in the early 80's. He started (A Ford engineer at the time) with his own car and after 4 years partnered with another guy and created a monster. It was fast but they broke everything sooner or later because Ford wasn’t…

If you knew me you would think: “Marc, what the fuck? You never advocate putting a V8 in ANYTHING.” Which has been true for my whole life - until now. Now I wonder what I’m missing and maybe doing a swap into something interesting would satisfy that itch. Let’s be clear, too. What I want to build is a streetable track…

In line with all kinds of similar cars.  What’s your point? 

Non-existent? 

I didn’t say it was functionally good... 

They just need to be moved backwards about 5 inches. No problem. :D

A fair point. I’m fine with clutchless manuals with real paddle shift controls on the steering wheel that still require you to manually select the gears. As soon as there’s a torque converter, or auto-shifting involved, I call foul.

I think the TaGaz Aquila is really not a bad design. The basic styling and proportions are attractive and sporty. It’s just been let down by an inexperienced manufacturing team and somewhat crude engineering. If a western or asian manufacturer had done this to modern standards it would be pretty damn neat. Fix the…

Your comment stinks. You’re always spewing nonsense.

There was no need to describe what he said as moronic.  Of course it was.

No manual, no interest. 

Or Sublime.  But now we’re getting off topic...

Which generation?
