I was a Cactus League game in the early 2000's and Randy Johnson was walking through the outfield grass and a kid asked for an autograph and he declined. He was promptly booed but roughly 500 people and got the hell outta there.

Banks twin turbo’d aluminum 350 ci V8 shoved in a Porsche 930 (I think). The slant nose fenders were custom made from RX7 pieces. It’s got a few hundred pounds of ballast in the nose. Not sure what year it is but the builder is a heavy duty diesel mechanic by trade. He told me it makes 1000 HP but I don’t think that’s…

The seat heaters malfunctioned in my MKIII GTI VR6 at like 20K but I didn’t use them anyway. My MKVII GTI 2.0 hasn’t had a hiccup in 25 months of ownership. Now my MKII Jetta…

HEADSHOT.
