This is insane. 4th is the best passing gear on the highway in a 5/6-speed.

I really, really wanted to like the show. But aside from a few tuner cars that I found interesting, it felt very scripted. And beyond scripted, it has the smell of heavy editing to build a certain narrative arc. It seems like off-camera, before the “what do you think about supercars” question, the director said “say…

I started this the other night. The thing that made me IMMEDIATELY turn it off was the constant uttering of the built not bought and the arguments that went along with it. Not because I have an opinion on that specifically (I have a nice built car and a nice bought car rn) but because I’m so GD sick of car shows that…

Yes, sorry. Should have been more clear.... The non-contest cars are likely not any level of special past a good story when telling your friends about it.

If you could prove its a Contest car, then it’d be neat.

As for proving it by datecodes, I wonder... but I have a thought that Ford made all of these up front... I…

I thought I might be undervaluing the Rs a bit. :) But I’d love a “standard” Fox Cobra in/under $20K if it was well-kept too.

Interesting... didn’t know he was doing Foxes.

Still doesn’t much to tell if it was one of the 30ish original 7Up cars... and even then I’d wager that the collectibility of them would be very low.

I’d look at the McLarens if I were getting into Foxes again.

Oh ok, so only poorer people should be banned from fast cars. Got it.

Your logic is flawed.

Actually, these are arguably the most desirable of Fox-body ragtops. Someone would pay $20k for a bubble-wrapped 100 mile example of this, easy. This piece of shit, not so much.

When you have a 90s 5.0 mustang but need new wheels and also a hamburger:

I’ve never seen a whale-tail on a Fox Body, but I like it. Reminds me of ‘03, when nobody had ever seen a big butt on a skinny woman, but then Kim Kardashian comes along, and suddenly yoga pants are in style.

Not made up, I do it too. And I’ve scoured the comments looking for more people that do this (slow work day). I’ve found 2 other besides you and me, so it definitely came from somewhere. Unless your mom started the whole thing.

So a fuel rig isn’t more high tech than carrying a barrel of fuel over a wall and pouring it into and all over the car? I believe it is. I also believe that on board air operated lifts are more technological that carrying a floor jack over a wall then slinging it UNDER ONE SIDE OF THE CAR at a time and pumping away. I…

In comparison to Nascar (this thread) they are very high tech. Now try not to be so contrarian just for a few minutes a day.

Compared to NASCAR?

Way, way, WAY better. The drivers have a lot of respect for each other and the racing is FIERCE. They’re all road courses, shorter races, two per weekend, and it’s as high tech as can be. Air jacks, center lugs, fueling rigs, etc. They’re amazing machines, amazing drivers, and amazing racing.

When I was very little, my mom told me it was good luck to lift your feet when going over railroad crossings. I don’t know anyone else who does this besides me and my brother so I suspect my mom made it up. I still do it anyway.

Exactly! The reason I live in NJ is because I missed my exit before the bridge 20 years ago and you know, what are you going to do, right?

You’re a fucking idiot. It’s 100% on the car.

Always a good reminder that the exit you need is the only exit in existence to get to the place you are going. It is the only way both in and out for the people past that point. So if you miss your exit, all is lost, you can never go back or around you must find a new destination, give up the people and or places you…
