when you make minimum or near minimum wage, you reall start to learn what you really need, and what is luxury. luckily for me, i own my house (a mobile home, but its paid for), which makes a HUGE impact in my budget. cable is lux, car and ins is not. i bought a 92 3000gt off of craigslist about 3 years ago for $1800.…

also, how can he ise the turn signal without giving up control of the wheel. hes gotta take his foot off the wheel to use the signal stalk.

show me devices specifically designed to enable driving a car with your feet. or even without arms.

one simple thing: money.

lets call it 50/50. massa went around the outside unexpectedly, and cheko was unable to get the car to slow down fast enough due to his own brake problems.

freon is a brand name that has stuck as a generic term. like jacuzzi or romex. or like a million other brand names.

when I was that age I had a couple of unique ideas for motorcycles. Without cash flow, they became pipe dreams.

yes. It's smelly and very, very messy. I made a custom air intake when I dropped an Lt1 into my 88 starion. I learned a lot about fiberglass, and how much it costs.

sure, but "equipment ... on hand" is deceptive. I would lay good odds he has more than 50 grand in tools alone. Quite possibly more. I'd like to see what he can build with nothing more than a craftsman wrench set. A shit ton of money does wonders.

honestly, that was my first thought. That "garage" alone seems like it might be bigger than my house.

well, to be fair, watching the guys come to grips with the new car in '14 there has been a ton more sideways action than in the recent past. There seems to be so much more torque available that they can't quite stomp as hard on the right pedal. Or the left one for that matter.

poor people don't buy 80,000 cars.

File this incident under "Survival of the Fittest".

What, no Braniff?

Just a visitor to Maui, but I too remember the scenery. Also the fact that the highest speed limit I saw the entire time was 45. Being from Texas, I was astonished at how small it was, my county is about the size of that island.

Amen, brother. My car, a 3000gt is short enough that about half the trucks that exist shine their headlights directly into my sideview mirrors. The ones that don't have a flip down lever. And so almost every morning I play hide and seek with headlights 15 feet away from my dark adapted eyes. ONE time a dude noticed me…

It would be awesome if f1 cats sounded like a jet engine. I'm not a Dan of the new engine sounds, it just doesn't give the impression/feel of pure speed the v8s did. I was at cota this last year and remember crossing the bridge as cars went under and thinking "I can feel that in my soul". The new power units sounds…

Also, he spelled Jaime incorrectly. In my head I keep saying it as highme, rather than jayme. Like he's Spanish or something.

+1 for the original, and still best, Smaug.
