The 1916 Cadillac Type 53 Edd China worked on in his last Wheeler Dealers was built like that. Had a crank block w/bolt on cylinders iirc. First production car w/v8, required the first decent electric starter to make it feasible.

I sold mine because I concussed myself eating poo poo at a trackday on my GSXR750 then managed to eat poo poo on my R6 900mi away from home at Thunderhill a year or two later. Finished that day on my Tuono, fixed the R6 and did one more day just to prove to myself that I could. I then decided that was the end of rolling the dice for me and sold everything off.

Were you the guy that racked up nearly a million dollars in bills for their crash (hopefully covered by insurance), or was that one of the other CA regulars? I know I'll sell my bike one day when I have other people in my life that I care about more than my self loathing.

I've only put a couple hundred miles on my bike over the past few years. I like riding but the weather here is garbage 10 months of the year and there aren't too many places worth riding to. Looks like I'm moving to Oregon though so maybe I'll get some more riding in out there.

Speaking of putting on miles. I bought my Coupe / Tiburon with 103k on the clock, knowing it needs a full service around 110k. I've put 2.5k on it since owning it this past August and now I dare touch the thing as I'm a small business owner with a downward trend in the winter so it's just sat there outside my apartment begging to be driven but I don't want to risk a timing belt snapping while i'm just about breaking even financially. Summer can't come quick enough so i can triple my income, get the thing serviced, slap a new exhaust on it (multiple leaks from flex to muffler), new rubber on all the corners and then start driving it like I want. The AI part of this post was buying a 13 year old, loving thirsty 2.7ltr V6, known for being horribly inefficient, where petrol costs as much per litre as it does per gallon in the states, calling it "just a thing i can drive while i build up a no claims discount" and hoping to trade it in a few years from now for a mid 00's, 5.0 V8 Mercedes CL500 when my insurance doesn't cost as much per year as the car does. Living in England and having a passion for cars that are known to be money pits in both maintenance and just daily driving costs is a loving curse.

A buddy of mine went through the same thing. Ate poo poo after someone pulled out in front of him on the road, so he started tracking only. He was loving it until he ate poo poo twice, the first time not horrible, but soon after the second time he was out of commission and couldn't work for awhile. He sold everything and now travels to see MotoGP races and doesn't regret it at all. He mentioned that he got too cocky on the track, thought he was Valentino Rossi chasing down guys in front of him, pushed it too far until he ate poo poo. I imagine unless you are content to just cruise around the track that's what happens to a lot of people.

I imagine some people that ride at the track do then get Billy Big Bollocks afterwards. I've driven my car on tracks but after the day is done I have it all out of my system and am happy to cruise home afterwards. I do need a bike though.

Creating 75% more horsepower than a stock Porsche 959 with overall reliability remaining the same, the Porsche 959SC eclipses many modern supercars’ performance.

Dammit, I just spent an hour trying to find a picture of a Hot Wheel that I know exists. It's a hot rod with a V-12 or V16 that I swear is made up of a series of Harley-style V-twins. IT could be an air-cooled aircraft engine, but I don't think so. Couldn't find it, but I have a wallpaper of it at home. shy boy from chess club posted:My bike is a 78 with 12k miles on it and 50 are mine. I've had it for over 2 years. 1980 Suzuki GS450L, 15K miles, maybe 100 are mine. Been parked for, uh, 18 years. After a dude changed lanes 2' in front of me then braked for a turn. Just touched his bumper and down I went. Thankfully was low-speed, and I was wearing a helmet. Sprained my wrist and skinned my knee. I was riding without a MC endorsement, and promised myself I'd take the MSF Course and get the endorsement before I rode again, and, whelp.
