Hot wiring your ignition. I'm sure hot-wiring a car has already been said, but I'm talking about hot wiring your own car. If MacGyver sat down in his car and realized he had forgotten his keys, would he go back and get them? Hell no.

MegaSquirt is by far the nerdiest car gadget. It's a universal aftermarket ECU that you have to assemble and tune yourself. All you get is a PCB, a case, and some resistors and diodes and shit. It's not like there's one set of instructions, either. If you want it to work for your application, you actually have to know…

It's less an urban legend, and more a popular misunderstanding, but I'm going to nominate "corrected" HP. If you ever get really bored, read SAE J1349 (Society of Automotive Engineers standard that defines the most common HP correction scheme). Not a chance that its being applied properly at most performance shops.

I always thought the PT cruiser was one of the ugliest cars on the road, but what do I know? I really like the way these look.

I'm going to go with a Dodge Caliber SRT-4. They look like the hideous product of a hatchback and crossover/vinivan 3 way, but like their Neon siblings, they can be made into torque-steering beasts with only a handful of modifications.

So it's my shoes causing torque steer?

yes he is! Fine, maybe they are rare.

my neighbor is selling one. Bone stock, but wants $2700. Bought mine mostly unmolested for $800, then did an engine swap in my backyard

This has to win. Those stupid Harley-themed trucks qualify it as a car club, too.

it's at $860 on ebay. I'd pay that. Not $5G.

repost - nibbles

I am really hoping that I'm the one that gets sent to monitor testing a 3,500 HP Pro-stock on an engine dyno for work. Even though "Watching an engine up on a stand doesn't always count as porn", it does the trick for me.

The answer to this is Lexus SUVs. Parking lots seem to be their weakness, but the drivers of those monstrosities are drive as though they are oblivious to the world around them in any setting.

You posted a comment and waited. And refreshed. And waited. Years later, you could see your comment in whatever order nibbles happened to place. If you were lucky, the picture showed up and replies didn't start a new thread. Those times were rare.

That Chaparral gets my vote. I'm not going to pretend it's at least partly due to the fact that it's so awesome in Gran Turismo

I was both hoping for and dreading the "why'd you turn" moment

Highest *average* income. That in no way reflects poverty. Income disparity is huge.

too small of a photo for a wallpaper, but maybe for a phone wallpaper

I would add to that DWAI, at least in Colorado
