Air springs etc are easy. Citroen, Rolls and Benz with their unicorn/mineral oil filled hydraulic systems, and camshaft driven pumps, also powering the brakes and steering ... nightmares. Unless you are a 747 mechanic who’s used to that kind of thing.. No air based systems are much easier. And when they leak you just…

Later, at a bar:

There is a Citroen mechanic in the Bay Area who can. I talked to an SF French Car Club member and he said he thought there were actually two. But I can’t afford to maintain that car.

“Powered by a 3.0-liter Maserati V6, it rides on a hydropneumatic self-leveling and adjustable oil suspension” - my wallet just committed suicide. Screw you Patrick, not gonna do it.

Why not indeed

Where’d you learn that, Cheech? Drug school?

I’m experiencing some danger to my manifold.

Truly, we live in a golden age when we complain that sports cars “only have 335 HP.”

I’d say “Keep your chin up, Joe” but that may be impossible

They already are. The only cheap E30s you can find are ones that have already been dorifto’d out or just complete beaters. Clean examples are way expensive. The drift bros are carving up all the E36s now.

In Lancia’s case, maybe they could launch a program to fix all the stuff that was broken in the original product.

The Superfast name is just as historically important to Ferrari as Testarossa. Besides, if they came out with another Testarossa it would probably be mid-engined.

For those who think there will never be another Usain Bolt, think again. Somewhere out there a young boy, sitting alone in his living room, was inspired by watching the unbelievable feats that Bolt has achieved. At that moment he said to himself, “When I grow up, I’m going to college, and becoming the greatest chemist…

On the one hand, it kinda makes sense; just like chefs bring their own knives to work, mechanics may prefer to work with their own brand of tools for the sake of quality and organization. On the other hand, it’s an expense that should be borne by the employer; it’s very rare that any job requires the player to show…

Having worked both sides of that (Real time Vs Flat Rate) I’d be happy to contribute should Torch or whoever ask my thoughts!

Amen Brother... after 30+ years of it if I get fired/quit my dealership I’m applying at the local grocery store and saying fuck working on cars.

We “allowed it”... yeah, sure buddy. Haha why don’t you get over here and help us fix it? You come from Europe, they do things better! You can march into those dealership’s offices and tell them how they should really operate and they’ll listen to you because your way is better, and that’s how the world works!

Actually, it’s the same situation in Australia - you’re expected to buy your own tools and toolboxes.
