Washed and hand-waxed the AMC today. WAS supposed to clean the garage but it turned into a car day. Got the air-shocks working in the rear too! Sits waaay better now. I might hit the wax again later tonight. Purdy...  Has a few dents. Will see if I can pop some out. Most don't appear to be creased too badly.

They knew it was only a matter of time once the Porsche started flying. Second overall at Le Mans in a lower class is something to be very proud of, even if it was due to attrition.

Surviving attrition is one of the whole points of endurance racing, so to me there's nothing wrong with taking full credit.

When the pass happened, they had a frown for all of a second before the smiled knowing they had lead Le Mans in a slower car for over an hour. Also a special mention to more awesome AI stuff: one of the teams had a bad starter. The solution? Percussive maintenance. I'm not joking. And they did this every pit stop because you have to shut the engine off for each one.

Watching that guy go to work with a hammer and a three-foot half-inch-drive extension was one of the highlights of my evening.

90s Camrys. For when you want a car that will run forever and you can still see out of it.

 That is amazing and I hope some 911 owners club guys see it and it makes them question their life choices.

If your car pisses off the purists, you probably did the right thing.

The only thing I really don't like about is that a no-fender rod to me needs to have the front axle leading the way. They always look awkward and unbalanced with anything ahead of the axle. And maybe shove the engine back about a foot. I'm not fond of street signs as patching material, but that's mainly because it's been done to death. I'll allow it, because "rat".

My wife got rid of her 2003 Tanmry and I kinda miss it for weird reasons. It was definitely long in tooth and I despise car romantics but it really was a part of our lives. RIP Tanmry. Your bumper dents, peeling Planet Express sticker on the gas cap, and hacked in manual drivers seat mod will be missed through the

I wish they didn't put a jeep front end on it and kept the duallies because otherwise that Porsche truck thing is cool looking.

I think they're the same because they're from a shop in Waterloo or Dubuque or something in Iowa. I've seen it a couple different times as they built it through friends of friends in the area.

It's also not a one-ton dually chassis. Edit: European, as well, I think.
