Replace soccer with cycling and delete the bi experience and that’s me. Dammit.

No feeling sorry, no contributing to go fund me. This was a fool trying to be fooled. And was searching for a hellcat but didn't have $26k to get one? Even in the best timeline, this was a failure waiting to happen. What was the original plan, to put 12k down on one for a flip, and hope to get one cheap enough from…

Not about cars, but this makes me think about bike frames.  The typical weight difference between a steel frame and a carbon frame is 2.2 lb.  So less than a healthy body’s normal weight fluctuation across a day.  People could save thousands on a frame just by taking a dump before a ride.

Add people who talk about BMW V6s...

$15K was far market value for that car in that condition (i.e. rebuilt engine, trans, front end, carb, NOS exhaust manifold, etc)

It’s just a simple wiring harness. How hard could it be?

Don’t be pedantic, the terms have been linguistically interchangeable for 20 years.

That’s not dumb - that’s actually smart. As in, if you didn’t have a bit of willful delusion/hubris going into any meaningful bit of work, you’d never start, so you’d never get anything done.

I really don’t have any petrolhead friends but my non-petrolhead friends love asking about “V4" engines and that irritates the hell out of me because I know they aren’t asking about a Ford Capri or Saab Sonnet.

This cold air intake (that now actually takes hot engine bay air) is good for 10-15 HP. 

I’m so tired of hearing about ‘power density’ without taking into account the weight of the motors and attachments to get there. So that’s a finger pointing at a lot of the writers in this category.

“It’ll bolt right on.” 

“This motor swap will be cheap. I can use mostly junkyard parts”

Not sure where you’re getting a $6000-8000 price range for a full PC rig..... Since literally the point is just you can price it out to how you want to...

Ahem...where the fuck is Fat?

That vent is for exhaust, the air comes in from underneath the car.

good think it looks pretty, because like anything alfa, you’ll be staring at it on the side of the road wondering what went wrong more times than not.

Will then be confused as to why trump won in 2020 and blame racism

You’re not wrong here. This is my problem with HamNo and the revolution generation. They can quote endless statistics about the wealth gap, but there is so much more that could be done between “rant online” and “revolution.” But they won’t do it. To be fair, I’m not really doing anything either, besides donating a…

Most Americans cannot shit in public rest room without crying. I do automation, motors, and drives for Japanese company. Many times, I get told to train US college students to do my job. Companies overseas pay extra for US educated engineers. Is very good money. Start at $65k a year in very rural, mountain town where…
