If it's a turbo 2.4?L, the proper answer is to do this, followed by ripping the drivetrain out of it, buying a whiskey/senility-dented grandma-mobile, and making the worlds scariest sleeper K-car.

I had a dream about this the other night. Doing axle braking burnouts in an aeries K. Or a lebaron my sister had both and had me doing 95 to 100 in a few times.

Oh, right.

I meant "comprehensive" as in "covers everything" :)

Paying $850 instead of $3600 made me feel a little less violated.

Comprehensive means the same in Australia. The US is just weird with insurance...
Here, insurance for health/people/hospital is compulsory (third party). Insurance for anything you damage is a very good idea (third party property; can add on extra fire and theft coverage, or not at fault involved with unlicensed driver crash, but doesn't cover your own car otherwise).
Comprehensive covers everything including your own car even if at fault.

Three simple policies, one mandatory to pay hospital bills; one minimal coverage which is good if driving a disposable car which you are willing to scrap yourself if at fault - but don't want to be out of pocket if just plain stolen ; last policy (comprehensive) if you want to be covered for everything.

Edit: no it's not it is a vent wtf

Put vents in the center console cup holders instead so the AC keeps drinks cold. Or do like Chevy did on my 03 Malibu and put a little vent below the steering column for a blast of cold air to the junk in summer

Yaris does this.. or did for a few years at least. It owns, cold drinks in the summer, hot drinks in the winter.

You have to zoom in to appreciate the stupidity. There are wheels under the driver and passenger frame rails, but the car isn't actually resting on them. Plus it's on an incline and the front is only held up with a scissor jack (under the license plate). Part of me wanted to warn him, and part of me wanted to stay and watch.

The old AE82 Corolla I had had a similar setup with vents either side of the instrument panel

I think I've found the most underwhelming "hot rod" possible:

Seriously, look at this drat thing

what appears to be a 90's Lumina front and rear transplant

Auto trans on a NA 3800

Gross 90's interior switchgear and dash swap

Rear drum brakes

Vinyl interior



$48k USD :barf:

Again. Shockingly-well-executed garbage.

You would think anyone with the skill to graft a '39 Merc with a '91 Lumina and the interior from an '89 Topaz (and actually do a pretty fine job of it, too,) would have to good godamned sense to NEVER START THE PROJECT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Seriously, what hosed up meth-addled customer ordered that?

From time to time our speed cameras capture some interesting things.

Last Sunday, 20 March 2016, a speed camera on the Kwinana Freeway captured a motorcyclist sliding past at 112km/h - but unfortunately he wasn't on his wheels.

He was also wearing shorts, a t-shirt and no gloves. Ouch!

If you're thinking about jumping on a motorcycle or scooter, have a read of this great safety gear guide. It could make the difference between a nasty tumble and injuries that prevent you from ever riding again:

It's quite possibly the most 80's car in existence:

-Fender flares, check
-RWD, check
-SOHC I4 turbo, check
-Interior colors including burgandy, check

You could even get louvers for the rear glass.
