Respect!

I’ve gone from an FR-S to a ‘96 Town Car that’s slowly getting modified to p71 spec. True dual exhaust with h pipe from the factory, and big roll bars, stiff springs, Bilstein shocks all have done wonders to help this big boat slide it’s way around a turn. The best part is everything I’ve wrenched on so far was done…

Nibbles is making up for lost time. (not on work network)

And how do helmet laws effect YOU on a personal basis? Is the absence of a law pulling the helmet off of your head? I wear full safety gear, I get the advantage, but this new age ATGATT zealot mindset is ridiculous. First a law telling you to keep one piece of gear on, then another. Before long the government is…

The awfulness of the AMA? Really? I was following up until that. If a fellow rider wants to be a rolling organ donor that’s his prerogative. The rest of us can wear a proper helmet and live and let die. Now, I may not like what AMA did to the superbike series with DMG, but what other group is out there lobbying for…

Any bets on how many cars will loose their running gear going sideways into the curb while dumping the clutch onto 528?

Relatively lightweight, and the four wheels pushed to the very edges of the car made this thing a damn good handler. I mean sure, oversteer of you overdo it, but quick transfers reminded me of a lowered old civic. They were probably impossible to tip. My buddy had one, until a tree fell on it and insurance replaced it…

Holy smokes! Bet he’s glad he had his rebound dampening sorted before hand!

From today’s Onion:

Between this and the hoonigan FB post, I’m having a very good Monday.

Just wouldn’t be a good thread without ole Buzz Killington showing up to play devil’s advocate against rational discourse. Keep on spreading the crazy bud!

It makes me weep that no American car will ever look as quite good as a candy apple red ‘70 SS.

This thread:

At my apartment there are BMW, Nissan, Toyota, Honda and Chevy 4dr sedans that park next to each other. If you walk up to them on the sidewalk, they look indistinguishable. Same hood line, same windshield rake, same roof height. It almost makes me never want to buy a new car.

And I’m arguing for both. If you’ve ever ridden one of these, you would know that it has ample braking and suspension for its size, and that’s even in a worst-case where the rear shocks are entirely blown and the brake lines are full of water. Just because the thing is old tech does not automatically mean “death trap,…

Spoken like someone who has never ridden an SR. I’ve owned both an SRX-6 and currently an SV650, they are both fantastic and very quick bikes in a corner, the SR even more so. The price here matches a well maintained machine. If “danger” is a concern from a bike with no more that 30 some horsepower, maybe you should…

Ah... a few generic photos of what appears to be the standard happenings of a press event. Some lights here, a fog machine there. I think that picture was painted fairly clearly in the article, and I’m not seeing the big scandal in reporting that the scene was awkward, not many folks showed up, and employees were told…

Where are these $1000 Saabs?? I looked a year ago around the DC metro area, and it was impossible to find anything under $6k. The only folks who sell their Saabs seem to be put up to it by their wives, and have no intention of actually letting the things go.

No way! Or at least the 93-95 PW was totes on fleek.

I love the speed block.
