Very sad indeed. I’ve been to Bondo twice over the years and it was incredible. The place was spotless and they treat you like gold. Hope they can come out of this somehow...

Heard moments before the crash...

It’s a matter of tolerance. I would not be all that pissed at that tech if I owned the Zed in this video. It really wasn’t that bad. If the test drive was a tire-smoking-dorifto-fest I would have a problem. If someone got hurt, I would have a problem. Neither of those happened here.

OK - everyone put down your pitchforks and blow out your torches.

A multi-time champion sportscar racer, who shall remain nameless, once told me in response to the question of driver aids: “if you can’t drive, have a seat in the back and let someone else handle it”.

“And then they’d go spend $91 billion on Bring A Trailer for some pointlessly obscure 1974 Porsche 911 variant. They’ll adore their Porsche 911 RSJ4TR, which was driven by Jürgen Hanschustermann at the vaunted Targa Bore-io, a race that was only held once because all the spectators spontaneously combusted.”

Sounds like it’ll be a pain in the ass to fix shopping cart scratches in scrapes received in the Whole Foods parking lot...

I’ll give you $1,000 for it.

Notice the sticker in the upper-middle portion of the windshield:
“Heep”
Those are Jeep wheels and a CRV looking body and dash...

- Montreal on a warm summer night (either GP Weekend or Jazz Festival)
- Get your “Screeching Papers” in Newfoundland (thank me later)
- Wine tour in Niagara if that’s your jam
- Rent a cottage in Central Ontario (Muskoka or Kawarthas) and drink too much with your friends (come to think of it, now that pot is legal...)

I’ll take a K24 and a six speed all day long...too bad we didn’t buy enough of them to convince Honda to keep that combo alive longer.   

Because you will access the trunk more frequently than you access the engine bay.  Unless you drive something old. And British. 

The Eagle Talon, with an updated 2.0 turbo, 6psd manny tranny and a proper nanny-free-all-wheel-drive-without-the-stupid-preset-crap currently found in WRX’s. And none of that Haldex crap either! I’m going to go yell at some children now!

No way, eh?

I would race the Miatae...alllllllll of the Miatae...

That there is 1.21 Giga-grams of crack, eh?

CP for me - somewhere around $3500 might work.
Good friend had one of these in high school...the stories it could tell...RIP “Shaggin’ Waggin” :D

The owner mentioned it dyno’d 505 at the wheels, which is about 580 at the crank, assuming 15% driveline loss. Sounds plausible for an LS2/3 with stock-ish internals and a ter-booo... :D

Mazda-rati...
