I loved that car and never got to rev it If it makes you feel any better, I'm trying to buy a hot hatch from a guy in Italy sight-unseen that will probably end the same way.

crosspost from the photos from the road thread: drag racin' trucks, in France for some reason. Watch them twist a steer wheel off the ground with chassis flex from engine torque  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPTDlNmValk bonus: Viper and Viper driver both trying to kill each other and themselves at 1:00

Falken posted:If I owned one of them, I would have stenciled "Columbia", "Atlantis", "Challenger", "Discovery" or "Endeavour" on the side. :usa: Reminds me of a friend I had in high school: He had an early/mid '80s Ford station wagon with the wood paneling that he bought (very) used, ripped off the hubcaps and then spray painted "Honkey Lips" down the side of it a la National Lampoon's Vacation. This was in the early '90s, so there were no digital cameras and we can't find the original photos of it.

 It looks to be an aftermarket top on close inspection. I guess it's the older 2-door Unlimited, though I didn't think they were quite that long. Maybe I'm just nostalgic for the old Scrambler but I dig it.

And DVD cases for the final Celica and MR2 but the cases are just filled with spiders and surstromming. I kind of liked the seventh gen Celica but god drat did it need AWD and turbocharging. It's a shame because it apparently handles outrageously well too, although I guess that might be in part due to not having a huge weighty diff in the rear. Even so, I had an ST205 remote control car as a kid which I bet my parents are ruing because it's had some consequences in later life:

This could go in the Terrible thread due to that "cage" or "roll bars" or whatever it is and the fact that it looks like an otherwise mint FSJ that got hacked up. But then again, it takes a certain AI mentality to do something like this, and drive it on the highway, barefoot, and with no side mirrors, so I'll put it here.
