Very rare everywhere these days, especially in such good condition. I'm so jealous of the owner right now, it hurts.

When is a burnout the best burnout? When the driver doesn't stop until the steel rim starts to come apart. http://youtu.be/unwujSVpZwA

Was bored on Sunday after doing a 8.2km fun run, so went for a drive. Came across a sign pointing to a car museum in a small town. So checked it out. I wasn't expecting much, probably a small collection of Australian cars and some imports, but I was proven very wrong Album: https://plus.google.com/photos/103600626374349588703/albums/5905950927573270993?authkey=CNXrorqm7b6DDw  Out the front was a Reliant Robin! And it wasn't owned by the museum either.  Subaru 360! Never seen one in my life, the museum is getting better  A Reliant, but can't remember the model. Not a Kitten.  DAF car with the first production CVT transmission. Look at the size of the belts!   Not one, but two Tatras! I have never seen one in my life, so seeing two in one location is pretty amazing. The owner of the museum has a later model Tatra in his garage that he is working on  One of many Studebakers that the owner had. Including a strange four door Avanti  Another car that I have never seen in the flesh, a Nash Metropolitan!  The museum has a ton of post WW2 economy cars, including this Bond Bug  The Lightburn Zeta - when an Australian washing machine company thinks it can make a car  Messerschmidt! Looks so tiny alongside the 1947 Plymouth. Even tiny compared to the Trojan behind it.  Studebaker Zip-Van  Wartburg! Surprised any had survived East Germany  Talking about East German, here's a very battered Trabant rally car  This Hudson Super Wasp was in its own room, you could only see it through small windows. Not sure why.  And the Sinclair C5

What's with the shift gate pattern? Obviously reverse is the offset gear to the top left, but is 1st gear below that, where 2nd gear would normally be in most cars?

In racing you spend more time shifting between 2nd and 3rd, than from 1st to second. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog-leg_gearbox

This last one is a replica altered wheelbase car. I found an article on the build. They took a foot out of the wheelbase without changing the overall length of the body.  http://moparmax.com/tech/i_5-wheel-1.html

OptimusMatrix posted:Brian Cranston is a badass. Dude cosplayed his own character (with uncanny-valley silicone mask) at Comic-Con. Eventually pulled off the mask, and it's The Man Himself, but with more hair. Then he held up the mask and looked into its eyes, Hamlet-style. That's a win in my book. In other news, one of my coworkers owns an orange neo-Charger just like this one:  I've already told her "If you come out for a smoke break one day and find a big blue '01' on your door, it totally wasn't me." I figure I've got a good three years to source the graphics before she retires, and I'll have advance notice to go out and slap it on because we pass the hat and get a cake for everybody on their last day.

MrSaturn posted:Very cool - but that's definitely a 2nd Generation Corvette. No, it's not. It's a little confusing because the last couple years of the first-gen cars had a very similar rear-end design to the 2nd-gen stuff, but the 63 was the first year of the C2 Vettes. The picture you posted as a C2 is even a C1. It goes C1, then C2 in 1963, C3 in 1968, C4 in 1984 and so on.

It really is, and "the engine is shot" is a piss-poor excuse for not having it running. After all, every 350 on Craigslist came "out of a Corvette"  Seriously, though, the second-gen Corvette is one of the prettiest cars of all time and to me it's a bit of a shame it was such a short-lived model. Not that I mind the early C3, though - chrome bumper C3s are on the same level, and I suppose have an even shorter production run than the C2.

I have lots of redneck friends and it wouldn't be the first time I saw a car that had bee fired upon.

After all, every 350 on Craigslist came "out of a Corvette" Just imagine buying a fully optioned out C2 Corvette back when it was arguably the most advanced sports car anywhere: "4 wheel vented disc brakes, fully independent suspension, lightweight alloy wheels, fuel injection, limited slip differential, fully synchronized gearbox, 3,200 pounds and 375 horsepower. What's that Axis shitbox got?"

One of the guys I work with just sold his 65 Vette for 25k  He said he had 3 full price offers on it within 10 minutes of putting it on craigslist. I wanted to slap him for selling a loving 65 vette on craigslist for about half it's value. Also, he has owned it for the last 30 years.

I thought gassers came about as a way to move as much weight as possible onto the rear tires at launch? Lifted front end, moving the axles forward in relation to the chassis, etc.
