Well, in all seriousness, perhaps not the bridge, but a DROPS truck would likely work well.

That is basically what I got mine for, but then it turned into a project. Also, I fully intend to put the Economy Jim Dandy tractor in the back of the MJ in the back of the 5 ton. It's like automotive turducken.

"Yep, we're gonna spend hours handcrafting this hood so it's perfectly smooth for perfect aero. But that front grille and headlights? Don't you loving dare touch those, they have to stay." The best kind of car.

The rear aero on this one is especially insane, it's probably my favorite bit about his S15:   The MCA S13 is also pretty fuckin' rad:

Lairy aero is best aero. Time attack is just cars you'd draw as a kid so how can they be anything other than awesome? Also this is pretty ballsy a move.

Human Grand Prix posted:You work on these right? How crazy can you go with the cars? Is the "unlimited" class anything goes? Yeah, I had a lot to do with those last two I posted. Funny thing is that they were competing cars and I was working on them both at the same time. Out at robi's on the weekend and at Harman/AQ a few days during the week. Then I ended up at AQ full time and didn't want to drive out to robi's every weekend and then the owner of the car went to jail so that program went away. We ended up going pretty fast with the Subaru. I even got in a magazine when we won the modified tuner shootout:  (I'm in the middle, and also the guy driving on the cover) Crazy and unlimited is really a budget thing, and paying the suspension and aero guys to design one-off poo poo, so there are very few cars really pushing the limits of the rules and what is possible. Nemo and Under's S15 are really the only two cars in the world that are close to as far as you can go with aerodynamics. Nemo is probably still the fastest TA car in the world, but they did not run last year and had issues the year before. PMQ has done some really nice stuff as well. They are the next class down at WTAC but managed to go 3rd overall, and probably had some time left in it. Even though tilton won and went faster again I wasn't impressed. Car was falling apart and scraping on the ground, which is due to them still using pretty much stock suspension geometry which is not suited to the huge amount of downforce. That's the same problem with the FXMD nsx, plus the syncro'd stock transmission is leaving a lot on the table. jamal fucked around with this message at 07:58 on Feb 20, 2015 |

I remember seeing one of those when I was like 14 or 15 and (1994, 1995) thinking I totally wanted one when I could actually drive a car. I promptly forgot about it until now, good nostalgia.

Anybody need a track car? holdbrooks. I'm not trying to push anybody into something crazy. holdbrooks. I'm just saying this is for sale in california, so if someone in or near california has some money sitting around and likes fast things, they should look into it holdbrooks. https://ww2.copart.com/us/Lot/14525315?searchId=14847211     It would probably look good in orange, being towed behind a big orange truck.

Too bad it's a targa and I just paid off the fiat with all my extra cash. I will keep an eye on it however since I will be getting a huge rear end check on the 4th with the addition of all my 125 hours of PTO cash out.

Those things were everywhere at a certain point of my childhood, I want to say a good 22 years back at least. I went to Blackpool for a day on a coach trip (Blackpool is like a super low rent Vegas, really cheap, tacky and full of terrible people) and bought one similar. It was a guy in a dirty beige mac and when you squeezed the air bulb he opened his coat and flashed his weirdly shaped plastic cock at passing cars.

With even more weight in the back I'm slightly amazed that it was a front impact. This thing has got to be scary at the limit.

T1g4h posted:Speaking of Jay Leno's Garage: It's also a '69, by the front and rear bumpers (with a '70 W-25 OAI hood).  But yes, that car in incredibly awesome. There were '70 and '71-2 versions as well, though. Notice the shortened wheelbase (2/3-scale body)? Also, front-mid-engine. And I love the giant turf tires in some of the old pictures. I actually prefer Garner's Grabber Olds: http://bringatrailer.com/2012/03/04/james-garner-baja-rig-1970-oldsmobile-442/ It's a bit closer to the street car.
