“People” don’t believe this.

more power still doesn’t compensate for all that ugly

“we as both individuals and a civilization have risen above physical confrontations”

No civilization on Earth has risen above physical confrontation, yet.

I sort of thought this was a newer idea. Like we as both individuals and a civilization have risen above physical confrontations. We haven’t and probably shouldn’t. I’m not saying back alley brawls should be the rule, but sometimes someone needs a reminder that they’re being an asshole.

You lost me at the 200 being a decent car.

That’s a real Clinton-Trump style choice there, in that one is better than the other but neither are good.

Driving in doughnuts (with no airflow going through the engine bay) and bouncing off the rev limiter basically made those exhaust manifolds glow red hot. All it would take is some leaking engine oil to spill on the manifolds, or plastic very close by, to ignite.  And there, you have yourself a carbaque.

The video is really long so I just looked at the .gif, read the story and started going through the comments. When I read yours I thought: “Eh, how bad could it be?” and clicked on the video.

Congratulations on passing the final test!

Classic GM.  It’s officially ready for production now.

Next year can you find an old Compass (pre-facelift, the Hello Kitty fronted one) and Safari/Mad Max it all to hell to see if you can Moab it?

You paid to have the head machined!? In the spirit of the project I was expecting you to ghetto “mill” the head.

Because then he wouldn’t have anything left.

Oh, it gets better.  In his last article he mentioned that he will be gone for a week of that.  He always seems to schedule a vacation in the middle of these wrenching slogs.
