  1. I think that is the same car, the dual wheels were added to make it a hill climb car.
  2. He should have quit in 1985 before he started turning into Joan Rivers.
  3. Is that the rear (mid) engine car that was eriven by Hans Schtuk[sp] and raced by his son a couple of years ago at Goodwood?
  4. What would be the advantage? I would think that lowering the voltage of the instrument bulbs would shorten their life, not to mention that it keeps getting harder to find 6 volt bulbs. However if you're replacing panel lights more often, go for it. Just my $.02
  5. Does anyopne recall a long called"I.L.B.Ts" on the "You Bought It You Name It" album by Joe Walsh?
  6. I have just one question. How am I supposed to read your posts when I can't get my bloodshot eyes off your avatar??
  7. This was the only place that I couldn't get anything. I had to go trucking to Portland, and just now got home. Everything is back to normal. Sometimes i think i liked it better when we just painted pictures on the cave walls. Thanks for the help, I will clear out the cookies, and history.
  8. I don't know if it is a problem with the sight, or with my computor, but I am not getting any graphics. I can't stand the suspense. I have a rotten feeling that the fault lies on my end. but would like to know for sure. Are others having this problem tonight, or is it just me?
  9. I probably am going to sound like the old fart that I am, but, I thought drifting was using power to go sideways under control. Sprint cars drift corners, but not because the driver gets going like hell and then throws the car into it just to be sideways. Speedway motorcycles are crossed up all the way around , but that is because they are way overpowered. So it seems to me that since these guys are coming out of the turns sideways instead of pointing down the straight, they aren't drifting, they are skidding. Somebody please explain where my thinking is flawed. (Just on this subject, there isn't enough room on the net to completely explain my flawed mental processes )
  10. Why is this person so angry? It ain't like they walled him up IN the room. Pass me that Cask of Amontillado.
  11. In spite of the weight, and the breakdowns, these were IMO incredible looking cars, but then so was the NSX. If I had any money that wasn't being sucked in by the z31, I might look around for one. Of course having any extra money is purely a fantasy until I finish the ZX.
  12. I never see anyone mention the Mitsubishi 3000. I love the style, but I know almost nothing about them other than they are basically the same body as a Dodge Stealth. What's the deal? Are they dogs? Seems to me that they ould make a kick ass candidate for an engine swap, even though someone told me that they have about 300 hp stock. Of course this is probably just a baseless rumor.
  13. Glad your boy is progressing so well. I hope he makes a full recovery, so you'll have someone to teach about building your next Z. I don't know much about Jeff Buckley, but I did spend many hours listening to Tim Buckley. (his father?)
  14. I thought that was a portrait of a lot of the drivers I meet on the road every day.
  15. How could this have happened? It looks like they were all wearing approverd bottle caps. But it is true, they are Canadian. Probably snuck into this country for the foam harvest. :Unless these bottles could have shown the proper ID, they got what they deserved.
  16. Good Lord!! I thought the motorcycle and the dump truck was tragic, but there are no words to convey the sense of loss.
  17. Don't put down biker chicks. Actually Pam always reminded me more of a holstien.
  18. Do I need to puit my current team to join yours? For the last six months I have been in the "Spread All Over The Garage" team, and feel like I am elegable for the "National Maybe Next Year Association"

    whoa.

    I am sorry for his family and friends, but if that Harley was his first bike, and he had no experience with a heavy motorcycle, it was more than a tragic mistake. Was the car on his side of the road? If you're in the wrong lane, it doesn't matter if your going 45 or 145.
  20. Let's see, what was Der Govs other movie? Oh yeah, Total Retard.
  21. That Aston Martin is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!
  22. Chaparral2f

    whoa.

    A few weeks ago a guy bought a new harley heritage, left the shop and rode about five miles before he lost it and hit an oncoming car. He ended up in the middle of his own lane and his friend who took him to pick up his new bike ran over him. Any Questions? Read my signature.
  23. Driving a truck does have its good points. While crawling up I-5 north in Portland the other day I saw a Fararri Enzo in the southbound lanes. Traffic was moving slowly enough to let me check it out. My Gawd! Now I know what the word awesome was invented to describe! I had to stop and ring the drool from my shirt. I know where I am going to spend my next spare $635,000
