Is this true?: wikipedia posted:In an issue of Uncanny X-Men written by Matt Fraction with art by Greg Land, the Maserati line was referenced in a scene featuring Wolverine fixing up his Maserati before a mission in downtown San Francisco.

They're pretty hard to tell apart unless you're a car nerd and the Bora had a legit motor. The Merak had the same thing as the Citroen SM if I'm not mistaken.

To answer my own question, we met the owner of the Holden 727 today, and asked him if it was legal to drive it here. He said "I never said it was legal!" And laughed a crocodile Dundee laugh. The ute went through whatever you have to do to import a foreign vehicle.

The first thought that went through my mind was no one in their right mind would buy a cheap Maserati with 170-220hp and weighing in at almost 3100lbs. The second was that this is another perfect candidate for an lsX swap.

Don't see too many of these nowadays; here's a rather nice 1952(?) Dodge Coronet: It had a surprisingly peppy in-line 6 that sounded like a well oiled sewing machine, it was surreal.

Saw this on imgur and thought it was hilarious. Would totally do this to my own kid. Edit: although it looks less like an accident and more like a failure to get out of loose gravel. VelociBacon fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Jun 7, 2013 |

And that's why you don't buy your kid a new car for their first car. I know. I can already hear you say "buuuuut safety!!" Its called natural selection.

Might not be his car My first vehicle was my grandpa's old farm truck, a 79 Chevy hunk of steel pick up. My first car accident was when my mom let me take her Taurus to the grocery store and I ended up in a ditch. On a dry day. On a straight away. 16 year olds are dumb.

And laughed a crocodile Dundee laugh. Actually, I looked into what the rules where for driving a non-federalized vehicle in the US some time ago when out of boredom I was researching a day dream I had regarding this. What I found was that you can legally drive a foreign registered non-fed vehicle for up to one year if you had insurance. So I guess present shipping documents or something if you get stopped?

 Killing some redneck that puts a car body on a truck frame gets you what ever the AI equivalent of 72 virgins is.

Is that actually on a truck frame? If it is, killing's too good, but if it's just a minor lift on the stock suspension setup, I'd drive it.

I take a kayak in mine all the time. Keeping an eye out for a nice long flat water boat or ocean boat, cant wait to put it on top.  (Normally run BBSs, those are my RS3 wheels)
