Fantasic car, lots of fun for the money and a future collectible. However your $19,000 is just the down payment on the maintenance and upkeep.

When did you leave? Not like anything has gotten better. Still namny state that has run off businesses and producers.

Hahaha yup. Maybe you will get lucky and it will happen during the next housing crash here, which should be in the next year or so judging by how ridiculous prices are, the median price, the economy, election year, and available stock.........

He posted up a picture of him with Ivan Stewart the other day, so that explains more than one reason I guess. I wonder what this means for his K5 Blazer. That truck is badass, but I wonder if being a corporate sponsored racer by toyota means he can’t take his kid to school in it anymore instead of his likely provided…

I wouldn’t call it fixed, they are pretty quick about putting bandaids over knife wounds though.

Yup, I think its stupid too, but they swear its safe. Meanwhile they argue about building a residential highrise on top of a fault line by the capitol records building. Either on top of, or like 50 feet away from it depending on whos report you believe, like it will matter. If (when) we have a major quake, its going…

I have a pretty good idea. I have been to Chicago. I remember the roads there were destroyed, and the cars ad football sized holes in the rockers and fenders!!!!! No good.

L.A. huh? I grew up here, born and raised. Our infrastructure is completely fucked. Roads are shit, bridges, over passes, etc. The state decided about 30 years ago to start using highway dollars and gas taxes for other things. Thats why there’s so many SUVs in L.A., because of the roads. I always take my Jeep when I…

Well, is it? Or is it hanging together by a thread and we’re lucky there hasn’t been a major catastrophe?

I have no fucking clue how that mess of decaying, rotting infrastructure is still working let alone standing. Looks like just barely. I remember walking into a station in midtown and looking up at the rotted rusted iron work and wondering when the whole thing is going to collapse.

Cars will always exist in private ownership. People are fucking stupid. We’ve had paid ride sharing as long as there has been a car, or a carriage. This whole “Uber and self driving cars will replace everything” is as fanciful as the 1950s vision that we would have cars powered by jet engines or nuclear reactors in…

Yeah but death wasn’t on the line so I was ok with it.

14mpg, rides rough, squeaks from the cheap basic interior, steers like a Bayliner, people are afraid to park near it, climb over a mountain through sand, mud, rocks or snow. I wouldn’t change a thing.

I worked with a Sicilian for years, and use to get him all fired up by telling him in a serious tone that Olive garden has the best Italian food. He would get all pissed off, you would try and convince him, and he would start mumbling in Italian haha. It was a joke of course, their food is shit.

There really is a such thing as too much HP. When it gets to a point where it unbalances the car, it can actually slow it down, unless doing 40-150mph freeway runs like a 2JZ supra is your thing. If you want the highest number, good for you.

I’m going to be “that guy” and say that the DSC is what actually saved him, and if he was in a car without he would have been integrated into the guardrail.

Friend of mine has a 289 FIA Cobra. They had speedos on the passenger side of the dash. FIA said the cars had to have a speedo, so Shelbys middle finger was to put it on that side of the dash where you couldnt see it.

I mean, I can understand swapping the motor, and the discs, but getting rid of a classic 60s dash that went with the car for that plastic garbage heap from Ford? CP.

The red head was hot though

Nah, Warn got their plug, and Fred is always doing goofy stuff. That 8274 is an iconic workhorse though. I would almost guarantee that winch is as old as the truck. They’re hot items to buy used and rebuild as Warn makes all service parts and They’re very reliable.
