My primary rationale for an engine swap isn’t to put something unlikely under the hood. My list is HP, easy fitment, a big aftermarket and bullet proof reliability all of which are embodied in the LS.

Here I am, four years later stumbling across this old thread and wondering why there isn’t a commercially available Li-Ion IMA battery and reprogrammed BCM module available to upgrade these great cars. What’s out there at present is too hacked together and very hobbyist grade.

I’ll buy a rusty Subaru Brat before I give a dime to far-right sociopath demagogue and white nationalist Elon Musk. 

Filmed in portrait? Are you F’n kidding me? Guy literally doesn’t know how to hold his phone to film in landscape.

How long until gen-z begins hanging their flat screen tvs on the wall sideways?

Only the most credulous of dunces is picking up the garbage you’re putting down. Cancun Cruz’s most notable accomplishments are ditching his constituents in a crisis while people were dying and being Trump’s groveling assclown despite the insults hurled at his own wife.

I’ll let you get back to watching One America.

As someone who may (or may not) have been forced to sign a Tesla NDA before they’d fucking fix their own broken shit, I agree. Too bad I can’t confirm that I’m also a victim of their shitty corporate tactics.

I’m truly sorry to be pedantic but you’ve committed my most disliked grammatical error: “I hope you think of what you could of had.”

Yes, she was striking - and totally cool with another NASA nerd asking if they can take a photo. Happily my wife pointed her out so it was all good.

A Ford Lima (Pinto) engine in an MGB, and a recent swap too? I’m nothing but puzzled. That only makes sense if the builder happened upon a nice MGB missing its engine and also had a rebuilt Pinto engine looking for a new home. Upside is he didn’t have to search for an adapter plate to bolt the 5-speed to a British…

And yet the author of this story noted plainly seeing the Nazi tattoos on his 14" laptop screen.

Speak for yourself: I look at a person’s tattoos when I meet them, it’s their tl;dr Cliffs Notes as to who they are. I recently met an extraordinarily cool woman with a photorealistic tattoo of the Grumman produced lunar landing module on her shoulder and it galvanized my attention. You can F’ing bet my attention…

Oh well. I guess it’s a state secret.

You didn’t answer my question. I guess I’ll never know the statute of limitations on relevant anecdotes.

*sigh*

The moral of this story according to you is: the past isn’t relevant if it’s older than X years/days/minutes. Tell me kind sir & defender of gangbangers, how far in my past am I allowed to comment on?

Nahh, you weren’t there and don’t know what facing down a tatted / roided gang banger is like. Additionally I used discretion and didn’t include his name. Also, I thought I’d check in on him again and found ANOTHER arrest from a few months ago for a shocking litany of crimes from felon with an unlicensed gun to…

And I can say “enjoy your time in prison dipshit” after this inbred shitweasel rear ended me with intentions of starting a fight - except that there were too many witnesses and I had the presence of mind to video him and his license plate before he fled. Turns out he already had an arrest warrant and my video of his…

THIS.
Another benefit is no goddamned parking lot door dings thanks to parking in the periphery. I owned my 1st gen green Insight for 13 years and sold it to its new owner with zero dings as a result of my desire to park and walk.

*Most* deaf people but the rest will be tazed according to your logic.

In regards to “situational awareness” it sounds like you’d be okay with tasering a deaf person because they didn’t respond to siren sounds as that’s a better outcome than shooting them? 

2 things about a road trip in the Lake District: how the F did Hammond NOT visit Uncle Monty’s cabin? Only a few months ago I, an American wanker of no repute made a religious trek there and stood on the same ground as Withnail and Marwood as they worked out their “food & fuel” situation.

That aside, I entirely agree…
