New Zealand and Puerto Rico were running 4 rotors over a year ago (Here it is in earlier guise). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVIgJRWDR3o&hd=1 Edit: Also loving the fact it is an rx2/capella coupe. It was my fav old rotary I never got to own. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Nov 23, 2015 |

Seeing Citroens like that on the roads makes you realise just how loving lovely and boring car design is these days outside of exotics. Love 'em.

This guy is famous in russia now. He sunk his vehicle offroading, got the water out of the engine and went to drive home when he snapped a rear axle, so he did what any sane individual would do Strapped a log to his truck and drove 120km home.

I'm more impressed at the attachment job; ballparking about 3000lb vehicle weight and rough leverage points, that's about 1000 pounds static trying to pull the log away from the frame,, plus dealing with all the bumps and whatnot. Unless it's just wedged in a handy spot in the frame.

That's a Boss Hoss, but the biggest engine they offered was 502, so it's either got some serious overbore or had an engine swap.

Looking for key blanks that aren't just stamped with some random locksmith's name, i came across these. Motherfucking wood grain key blanks.  Gold plated. Even with the dubious 70s america build quality, they make modern car keys look like fisher price dog poo poo.

The content on http://paleofuture.com is good and I recommend reading the archives there, but it stopped updating in August 2011. Their new site at paleofuture.gizmodo.com is awful. "The 5 Spookiest Movies That President Nixon Watched in the White House" "This Family Dinner of the Future From 1981 Looks Depressing as Hell"
