OMG..... The only way to put a stop to that in future models is have a few warrantee claims.

Now now-give a bit of a break here. You got to remember you are talking about an old southerner here. He also stayed completly dry - never taking any money from beer or liquor sponsorship because he told his mother he wouldn’t. (Which screwed up NASCAR big time because he wouldn’t put Bud shootout stickers on his car,…

Theres no money in looking straight ahead. Everything is looking out to the sides for the upcoming corner.

We revel in bad but fun cars. Last year we had a 1964 Mercedes with a 302 Ford run with us. And the Mad Max. And whatever Liam builds. You’ll be on the same page in the wallowing + tire smoke department.

And when are you bringing it to a hillclimb Dylan?

Thats a waste. Can they just put on some stickers? Or a Fuel Shark?

That can’t be real—can it?

“”NASCAR stopped giving attendance estimates in its race reports around 2013, USA Today reported at the time, and said race tracks would still have the option of providing them. It seems only natural to provide the estimates when they’re as good as the Daytona 500 ones are this year—on the surface, at least.””

No turtle.

No-theres more to it than that. (I don’t skate-nor follow it regularly-but its my favorite Olympic sport.) I used to flat track motorcycles-both dirt + ice. And you can see some of the same things in both. You are going down the straight as fast as you can-at some point, you have to stop accelerating and slow up for…

And It pissed Richard Branson right the fuck off.

Patrick-stick to writing about cars. Its obvious you don’t like bikes. And I bet you are one of those guys that calls ANY bike with plastic on it a Hayabusa. Either that you somehow can identify a speeding bikes brand in your mirror.

NEWFIES! I miss my Newfies!

My vote for best Top Gear segment-EVVAAARRR!

Not to mention that plumbers strap is made out of metal-and that didn’t end well once all ready. Plastic zip ties will outlive the car.

You deserve more stars.

I know the article is about the car-but the real interesting part is about the man behind the car. Hell-he went by the name “Wacky”!

This was Gidget. My wife found it on CL in 2007. It was a 92 with only 10k on it. Original owner was a male hairdresser. Then this family ended up with it. Only used on nice days with the top down to get ice cream. Top hadn’t been up in years. The price was “take my money!” cheap. The thing had the original air in the…

Wait-are you (the only person on the planet) saying the Delorean was a good car? I worked in the small car manufacturer biz at the time-I knew the techs-saw the cars-saw the manuals with repair updates-they were shit.. Shiny from a distance-but that was about it.
