i know this is next to impossible, but was anyone ever dumb enough to attempt a front transverse engine going to a rear drive? I know volvo did a reversed longitudinal for no reason. Just curious.

Honda's S600 was chain drive to the rear wheels, but even there, they mounted the engine longitudinally. Probably because they didn't want a large offset and an even longer chain.

well, gently caress. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1971-Lamborghini-Espada-/200604076796?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item2eb4ef4afc  Now that's great and all (if it had an engine....), but check the description: GIRLY MAN WARNING We do not sell to girly men, or lazy rah-tard’s. Not to be mean (as I am accused by my wife), but this car is not for the timid or weak. [/b](Girly man screening test: hold hand in front of face, make fist, look at tips of fingernails, are they clean and smooth like a young girl? If yes, don't bid. )[/b] (Lazy rah-tard’ screening test: You have a flat tire with your lady, on the side of the interstate: Do you stand back and gaze in wonderment? If yes, don't bid) It is better to be harsh up front than have someone disappointed after the sale. Experience indicates that happy buyers of these type cars have type "A" personalities, with a "get it done yesterday" attitude.  This is awesome.

Only $17,000 for a 25 year old Cadillac? Whats more, its powered by what might be the second least reliable engine to power a Cadillac? Tell me more about this fine automobile. Also of note, the rear end is stock, just in case you thought the Aunt was going to throw on a Chevy 12 bolt and some ladder bars onto this FWD car. In fairness, it only has 29K miles, but still. http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/2310386989.html some dude with very high hopes posted:
