I am classifying it as a car because BMW. You know how there are people that come up with wild renderings of things beautiful to look at but in no way would they ever work in real life? Like this:  This is the brainchild of some Turkish artist named Mehmet Doruk Erdem. A local guy that does Bonneville speed runs on vintage two strokes is also a bit of a master fabricator and made this:  and has documented the entire build with a smattering of pictures that will make you

Probably with one of the RX-7s, or maybe the Crown Vic. I think Rally Cross might suit my driving style (balls out never lift what brakes?) better than autocross. Holy poo poo, that's so cool!

Spotted a unicorn this morning, a COMPLETELY STOCK Civic. It was being driven by an old lady who was 5ft tall and about 70 years old. Note the optional extras on this such as the body stripe, corner scuff protectors, spoiler, wind deflectors and Honda logo'd rear plate surround. She went all out speccing this.    I love it and I want it and immediately went looking for one online. You can grab them for £500 so I may have to get one. Olympic Mathlete fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Feb 8, 2017 |

Heh, Das Volk and his C6. The ways he got that thing to come apart I can only conclude he was abusing the drat thing. This the same guy who kept exploding rear ends in his CTS-V and blew up the engine in his Viper?

Here's what they have on their site: http://www.e-fujitsubo.co.jp/265/266.html It's a shame their site isn't better because they have a giant lot all full of cars from the 60's and 70's. Me and my friend found it by accident one time and unfortunately it wasn't open that day or I'd have taken every single picture my phone could hold.

That gen of CTS-V is notorious for eating rear differentials, and the engine thing with the Viper was a known defect that happened to a specific production run of those engines. I can't speak to the C6, but the other two are definitely not issues unique to Das Volk.

Old stingrays from the 50s 60s and 70s old suspension is poo poo and a lot of the corvettes I see come out for the summer most years maybe and have old poo poo rotted suspension. And also because corvettes are stupid pieces of poo poo that suck to drive and are meant to make geezers feel like there dick can still get hard. And to do most major work is so loving stupid. Like working on a PT cruiser would be easier and better.

I agree that the LT4 is aggressive with the spark retard, but that sucker makes a lot of heat. I think it'll eventually get remedied as well. Every car has issues, tracking is the worst case scenario too. Most boosted cars will overheat, subaru pickups will break off, etc. It's a tough environment, especially with a lot of power. I like the new vettes (since the C5z, except the garbage interior) but would really love a C7 Z51 or GS. Suburban Dad fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Feb 9, 2017 |

Well, if you have a rear-ended car, a leftover truck bed, lots of time and very little sense, I don't see the problem here.

That looks a hell of a lot neater than I'd expect had you just described it. Could all be a death trap underneath though.
