Toucan Sam posted:A buddy of mine has a 40k mile 2000 Z28 with headers and 4:11 gears that is his pride and joy. It's a nice car, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't have anything on most newer cars power wise. I told him to watch out for Camry's blowin his doors off. My '06 Monte SS is quicker than his car by a bit and he's jealous of my heated seats and gas mileage. His car is loud, rides rough, and gets horrible gas mileage but open headers and your foot on the floor through three gears is still glorious even if you're not the top dog anymore. Isn't that like a 350hp car in a 3400lb package though? Should be drat quick especially with the re-gear. Granted, it is a tupperware car so as you mention the experience is only good when it's wide open.

SuperDucky posted:I'm generally the least patriotic kind of American, and align with Canadians on most social issues. But the fact that they're trying to shut that thing down on his own private property is some babyback bullshit.

Just wanted to say how delightful it is to be reading about cars on a forum and having the far right universally mocked. As I'm sure you all know, this take doesn't exist in any other car forum that's even slightly US-adjacent. Thank you all, AI rules.

On inland lakes in Michigan you have to TRY to get pulled over. The baseline level is 12 people doing kegstands on a pontoon; as long as there are 12 life vests and one person has a drivers license and can still speak the cops don't care.

I feel strongly that if you're a millennial that grew up in the midwest the first time you rode in a car without an "adult" the car in question was either a dark green J-body or a first/second gen Chrysler minivan with the red interior. [raises hand]

I'll offer that while I really have had a good experience with Liberty Mutual, they literally told me once "call us every few years and ask if we can lower your premiums". This was after calling them about something else and finding out that randomly they could cut my monthly bill by hundreds of dollars. WTF.

Wife's car got hit, car totalled, she had injuries, Liberty Mutual took care of everything (including all medical) no questions asked and paid us out extremely fairly for the car. Nice people to talk to as well.

BalloonFish posted:The real fun (and strategy) of 2CV racing is that because power is still so low and the car still had the aerodynamics of a brick, momentum is vital and slipstreaming is key to maintaining it. You often get strings of 4 or 5 2CVs inches off each others' bumpers on straights, then at a corner the one at the back will break out, hoping that it can slingshot past the file. They all do this in sequence from the rear, leading to multiple cars in line-abreast, virtually touching wing mirrors in the corners. Can I watch this somewhere?!? Edit: I'm dumb video is above
