One of my favorites is this:

This is a cheap way to get into an AACA show, yet still gives you AC, power everything, and better handling dynamics than a 60’s era boat on bias plys. The nostalgia bomb effect it will have on anyone under 30 is a pleasant side effect. NP.

Try a Steyr M9 or a Arsenal Strike One if you can. Both guns have a very low bore axis, and the recoil impulse is much more of a straight back push than a twist. That might be why you feel a G17 recoils more than a high-bore-axis pistol.

If this was 1/4” in front of the decocking lever, rather than directly under my thumb, I’d like these far more.

These grips are layered G10 plastic. When cut to the slightly rounded shape of a 1911’s grips, the different layer’s colors are displayed, much like laminated wood. The layers are different colors for a bit of camoflage effect, though how effective that is is a matter of opinion.

Does anyone have the address of the Nissan board of directors, Ghosn, or whoever else made this decision? Sending them some of these might be a good idea.

I wouldn’t buy an early Fiesta or Focus used, period. The Powershift had so many problems early on (bad transmission seals that leaked fluid and ruined the clutches, clutch wear from poor shifting, TCM issues), that I wouldn’t trust any of them that I didn’t drive the bulk of the mileage on myself.

That’s reasonable.

Being unable to hit a target past 50 yards because of a 6 MOA shift is ‘not working’ in my book.

It’s interesting that they’re still using EOTechs. I guess theirs don’t suffer the POI shift in extreme temperatures L3 recently admitted to on some models..

I don’t suppose you snagged the Shinsen door panels and seats? The blue cloth was really cool and I badly wanted to put a set in the NB I had.

Is that a machine gun?

I think he’s more of a ‘future leader of a suicide cult’ type.

Seems legit.

How about ‘Tin Apparition’?

There’s something oddly appealing to 20” steelies.

Pay for this. If it’s going to be your DD, you want this done right and you don’t want the car scattered across the garage for the week or two it will take to accomplish.

Ok, that’s a legit problem. How much did this thing cost you and how much did Tavarish tell you was wrong?

I drove one of those through 4 or 5 winters. As long as your bumper isn’t pushing snow, you will be fine. Get some decent all seasons or some snow tires and you’re set.
