It’s nice but a one-owner supra is worth $5000 more than a two-owner supra so enjoy that when you go to sell it. CP.

If the Ferrari didn’t have snap oversteer were you really DRIVING it? 🤔

Any New Yorker worth their salt could fit a fucking econoline in that space

hate to break it to you but the mets were eliminated from postseason contention in april

Can’t really weld steel to aluminum and even if you could the galvanic corrosion would eat a hole through the frame

thamk you for not making shitty joeks on deadspib

Who’d have thought this would be the Hill ESPN chose to die on

There’s at least - conceivably - an argument for Federer, who at this point has a totally different shot and style of play then when he was at his best. There’s no argument for Nadal.

That’s a good point; I am sure those braces direct force from left-to-right.

“WHY DON”T THEY MAKE THE ENTIRE PLANE OUT OF THE BLACK BOX”

Totaling out a $75k Corvette is a lot different than totaling a $300m passenger aircraft or even a multimillion dollar turbine. Boeing has entire mobile teams that are flown around the country to design repairs to something like this, and the shit they do is insane (I had a job offer to do this when I was a young buck

Some people posted some info on the welds, and that it’s a process patented by GM. A few others mentioned SFW too, which seems possible, though (apparently) the SFW process has its own issues like leaving a pit where you withdraw the tool, which doesn’t really fix the problem since now the metal is weaker there.

You’re mostly correct only difference is I would just skip the JB Weld

If the only way to get use from the car is take it off the road that’s like the definition of totaled. It’s not useless and about to be crushed into a cube, it just will never be roadworthy (which is not trackworthy).

Structural engineer here. The fact that this is the largest of the 3 (apparent) braces running across the short axis of the car to stiffen the frame rails tells me it has the most load on it (yes real engineering-ish). I’m having a hard time orienting the pictures with each other but regardless: corners are always the

Today is the greatest
Day I’ve ever known
Can’t wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I’ll tear my heart out

I can’t find the post but a guy on oppo back in June or so told me he knew “the guy selling the last Z32 imported to the US.” Was asking $71k - I think - privately. From the description / photos of the rest of his collection I can assure you he was not at a loss for having fun.
