844 is such a gorgeous engine. I was lucky enough to see her in Sacramento a few years ago, but I didn’t get to see her at full steam like you did. Damn, that must have been amazing to see.

Union Pacific’s Big Boy scoffs at your measly 1.9 miles worth of train.

Delayed reply! Sorry for taking so long.

Dammit. I’d be there if it weren’t for the fact that I both live on the other coast and have *just* begun collecting the parts I’ll need for my current project.

1. I shall wait with baited breath then.

Those non-turbos can go for-freakin’-ever. Friend of mine in my local club has babied his to 300,000 on the original engine before compression started to fade.

1) When can we expect David Tracy to buy a first generation RX-7?

The first-gens will always have a special place in my heart.

I prefer Dajiban!

I’m 5' 11" and I just barely fit in my FB33.

I adore it too. I love Saabs and I’m heartbroken they’re gone. So jealous you have one. It is my goal to own one someday.

I’m not comparing it against modern Lamborghinis. If we were comparing it against the Aventador and Hurican; I’d agree completely.

Truly a timeless design.

This needs more stars. This car looks like it literally rolled off the production line merely 5 minutes ago.

It’s easily in my top 3. Without a doubt.

How so?
