It is a 24v 3.7, so not really Group A, but perhaps in the "spirit of Group A".

Wheels that are designed like that. Are they meant to actively pull air through them to cool brakes or what?

You've probably never sat in one, or had to maintain any other Dodge.

The clip was also used in her "Slave To The Rhythm" music video back in the '80s. I remember seeing it around then, and it fit right in with the other assorted weirdness of that video.

Huh. I thought that they were stationary, like rear window louvers. I certainly didn't think they went *down*.

when you're making a tribute to pop-up headlights, you need to make sure everyone knows why you're making a tribute.

Pop-up headlights are serious business.

(also that video makes me want a car with pop-ups, but like a Daytona or something lovely like that)

My friend's Prelude does something similar to the above, it's possible to get them completely out of sync yet still moving up and down so it look like the car is having a fit. Sadly mine have a far too clever system that ensures they both move together at all times meaning no dopey eyed fun. :/

I think mine's just a worn gear. They usually work well, but once in a while it takes 30 seconds of "Will it work this time? Nope, close. Will it work this time? Nope, close." before it cooperates.

All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world, so there was only one thing I could do:
was ding a ding dang, my dang a long racecar.

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.

So.... debated which thread this goes in, and decided here because

1) I'd drive it everyday (after fixing the mismatched wheels)
2) It's so :3:
3) Actually looks well executed



I just named it. It's a Hongatti Civeyron. :japan: :france:

Quality work does not necessarily negate horrible decisions.

I initially assumed it was some weird Euro car I've never seen before.
