He musket a lot of thumbs up from folks when he’s driving that thing around.

Pirating is addictive. I’m not surprised he got hooked.

Whoa, that’s some major Crack Pipe smoking right there. It’s super clean and very interesting, but the 79-81 generation T/A was overweight and underpowered, big time. Drop $100,000 off that price and you’ve got a nice car for a wealthy Pontiac enthusiast. 160 large for this car is like paying Rolex money for a 1989…

From the info on the RK motors site it sounds like he was determined to buy and preserve the car from the get-go. He didn’t even allow the mounting of a licence plate frame because he didn’t want any drill holes. He was basically the car version of the kid who buys comics and never reads them, just immediately puts…

“If we have to, overnight parts from Kannapolis, North Carolina.”

Great, now Grosjean and his mad scientists gotta rip apart the car and replace the damaged parts inside. Ask any welder, any real welder. It don’t matter if you arc or TIG, cracking’s cracking.

It could have been any of the front runners.

For want of a bolt the cover was lost,
for want of a cover the tire was lost,
for want of a tire the car was lost,
for want of a car the race was lost,

So a championship was lost—all for want of a bolt.

As an adjuster I have developed a working hypothesis for fault in crashes (work in progress). If there is an accident involving any of these cars, these cars are at fault. Regardless of mitigating circumstances or scenario:

I was growing up in Falls Church in the 80s. When I heard that the DC snipers had killed someone at Seven Corners Shopping Center, I knew exactly where they meant. The City of Falls Church Police Department Volvos were a regular feature of my youth - not because I was a passenger, though I do remember being taken…

crackpipe - a non-brown, non-wagon, automatic volvo?

The best stock wing

It’s almost a little too sexy even as it sits. It’s like that bar tender that you know is nothing but a big bag of expensive daddy issues but you can’t help your half-drunk stupid self from hitting on her anyway in hopes of a one night stand that ends with you waking up the next morning...naked, wallet missing and…

Crack Pipe

Dat JDM socket y0

Here’s a scenario. Imagine it’s your first week starting a new job. That job is to shoot and produce video. Now imagine that the editors and writers have given you this great idea for a video shoot and the Fiat is going to be the picture car we use in said imagination video.

Now imagine getting a phone call 1 day…

Later, at a bar:

That rear wing is a little excessive

That’s why you don’t let novice Karters drive on Rainbow Road.

Mountain bike, an obviously poor choice for road “racing,” but it’s what I had and my kid really wanted to do it. Managed to ride halfway up to turn one, but I was not alone in trudging the rest of the way. The downhill after 1 was where I hit top speed. Being August, the breeze from that was more than welcome.
