When I scrapped my Le Car project I got $3 less than the cost to rent a trailer to haul said project to the scrap yard :(  

My plan is to track the car so big on my list was ease of working on it if/when something breaks. The LS ends up having half the motor very close to the firewall and not accessible. I also am shooting for 200-250 HP so the K 20 does that easy.

This is exactly why I kept with a 4 cylinder, there is so much room to work on it when you don’t have a bank right next to the firewall.  

I mean it will be reliable after it gets a Honda engine :) 

Truth be told mine would have lasted longer if I hadn’t autoXed it so much. The Iron Duke will last for a long time if you don’t give it too many revs. But a mid engined car that felt like it had a diesel was less than exciting.

I thought the header image was a good answer. My Fiero was a ton of fun even moments after the engine died. It should be even more fun once a new engine goes in :)

It looks very grounded to the ground.

A friend of mine had a good analogy for this. If you take a Miata and a Vette driver and swap them the Vetter driver will usually be able to get more out of the Miata than the Miata driver will get from the Vette.

Especially when they own Audi and Porsche both with strong race heritage.  

I’m with you the dude has been gone for how many years now?  The idea that you just pick up where you left off is a bit crazy.  I think Alonso having a seat at all is a bigger shock than Seb to Racing Point.  People point to Renault improving, BUT I wonder how much of that is from Riccardo helping them develop the…

All the stars for someone else thinking George should get the seat for the rest of the season.  He has been great this year on and off the track, throw him a bone and give him a dream few weeks with a great car.

Agree, a McLaren looking like a McLaren is the expectation.  Why redesign everything just to do it?  They have slowly evolved using the same structure, this is a new structure but it is built on the knowledge gained from the prior one.  Porsche has used the same design for decades, McLaren is doing the same thing.  

90's Toyota Tercel with holes in the floorboards. New carts are fast, but feel relatively safe, when you are wringing an old POS where you can see the road under your feet that is true fear. Also kicking gravel back through said hole really adds something to the driving experience.

3 old guys jumping sharks and beating dead horses. At some point I imagine this will become literally true :(

Never mind I see the little flat spot now.

Any idea where a front plate will go?

I was 100% ready to fight you on this, then I asked a friend to message me pictures of different cars to see if I could identify them. Yep confused an Accord for a Civic, and got a Caddy wrong as well. I feel like I know my cars pretty well, but I couldn’t get the models right myself so you are right the problem…

I think my issue is that the SUVs all tend to look exactly the same. I asked my neighbor about he and his wife driving identical Audi SUVs. He explained his was the next size larger. To this day I think the dealer swapped a badge on his to make him think it is bigger. They look exactly the same, even when parked next…

“between the QX50, which starts at $37,950, and the QX60, which starts at $44,350.” Honest question, on a monthly lease deal this is what .05 per month?
