Good thing too, because if they did it would kill the soul that makes these builds cool. 

I’m sure the XZ435xdrive-IS Vision Dynamic-E GranCabrio MSport 4GT is already well into development.

SEMA car showcasing a crate engine? 

Somewhere, Jack Baruth is strumming a little tune called “I told you so”:

Proof that Ferrari V12s should not have mufflers. 

Dirty Porsche solidarity!

Hmm...

Mustalfa or Alfa Romustang, all I know is I want it. 

A much simplified take on the same idea, yes. No engine driven pump here though, rear only, and it can’t do individual wheels or balance side to side.

Yeah. Hindsight is 20/20, right? Sold it and a couple other cars (one being a 1275 Cooper, which you’ll no doubt feel my pain on ;)...) to scrape together the down on a house though, so it was a means to an end at the time. 

And yet, people nickel and dimed it then. It was a 200k mile car, but a good, honest one for the miles. I bought it from a client, did a full bumpers and grilles off cut & buff and a bunch of other work, daily drove it for a few years. It needed the front seats retrimmed and an AC compressor but ran like a train. It…

I regret selling mine, bought and sold for $7k, before they took off. 

Had one. Sold it. Hate myself.

It doesn’t act on the swaybar, it just takes its level reading from it with a simple potentiometer clamped to the bar.

The smokeshow from the valve guides should be pretty good, at least. 

Or knowing you have to clear your old truck off the rack of the shop you work for at 8am. So I’ve heard. 

I sold a ‘95 F150, a Vanagon that I grew up with, a lifelong BMW 2002 project, model cars, Hot Wheels, bicycles, wheels, a fiberglass Sport Quattro hood and Euro H4/H1 headlights for old Audis (which I delivered over the Sierras), and got a personal loan to buy a very particular old 911SC.  I wrote a thing about it:

This picture (and the condition of the frame) makes obvious which path you must take...

See username. The automotive profession has a way of beating the enthusiasm out of you. What’s left is to be carefully nurtured so as not to lose it altogether. I have the same environmental conscience, and I admit it can’t really be reconciled with my automotive tastes, but it is what it is. Bicycles help. 

A friend of mine lived at the foot of a local reservoir’s dam, and we rode our big-wheels down the spillway. I don’t know how we lived.
