I still wake up with cold sweats remembering drivers and team managers giving me factory cars, modified for racing and a box of wiring and telemetry stuff saying “you can have this all up and running by Monday right?”.

The front bar looks like it was stolen off a burning AMG A45 and that rear wing ... Just no. But I would genuinely enjoy driving the rest of this car.

The GM variety is pretty funny too:

As a truck it handles like a sports car. As a sports car it handles like a shopping cart. And yes on the gas. It needs all of the gas to do anything.

I had a great one in Tucson a few weeks ago. I was checking a pelican case with a mix of clothes and work equipment and carrying a laptop bag. Check in counter said my pelicase was too heavy for the domestic flight (weird, but ok) so I took out a 6kg steel plate used for aligning some equipment I work with and put it…

I would totally wade through a roof full of puppies to get through security.

The glass house on the hatch is too high and too long. It looks way too bulbous on the top. That being said I would totally drive one if it were given to me.

My Gran used to love saying that about her old 500. Then she traded it for a Karmann Ghia and was amazed at how she could drive it around for a week in Australian heat and it wouldn’t break down.

Good ravy are my pants parts tingly about this thing.

On all of my fully faired bikes I’ve kept one of those pressurized cans of tire goop under the seat in addition to the insurance.

Custom. Top Secret Co did this a lot.

drive around Chile, Peru, Argentina, etc. Every second taxi will have obscenely bright red and blue strobe lights in the head lights and tail lights. Heaps of couriers too. Some people even fit the sirens in place of the horn. I’m sure it’s not legal and I’m sure it’s not regulated.

I was thinking “fart loudly while never breaking eye contact with the interviewer”.

When I hear “beach car” I go straight for the Mayers Manx, or imagine the scene from the original “Thomas Crown Affair”.

Yep, if you’re working with wiring/ vacuum lines and cables a lot I’d even recommend getting a heat shrink printer. Every line, cable and hose in my old car has heat shrink with “Connects to:” printed on it.

Needed a city car so went looking for the cheapest car on the market. Found a brand new Daihatsu Mira for (from memory) $13k drive away from a big Daihatsu dealer. Drove the car, bought the car, big end bearing spun in the car at about 600kms. Dealer refused warranty rebuild because there was mud on the underside of…

The want is strong for a reinforced on the inside, normal on the outside E28.

It’s like they’re stuck in a perpetual loop of windscreen wiper chicken.

Are these from SVU?
