In NJ they have special plates for 25-mph vehicles. The University that I work for has a number of golf carts and little mini Hummer things that go 25mph and can be driven on the roads.

You have to be brave to take one out on a New Jersey road, though.

Here I believe they register them in the same classification as some scooters.

1963 Corvair Monza in amazing shape. We crawled all over looking for major rust and found none. Sadly I could not get my friend to buy it.

Not all of us. I've gone the last 3 summers in a car with no A/C. I also just bought another classic car with no A/C. It's a convertible so it'll not see a lot of time on the road in summer. It's fine if you're moving but sitting in traffic in 105degrees sucks balls.

I know Indiana doesn't get as bad as Texas but I went without working AC in a black car for 8 years. These last two summers have been heavenly.

This is a friends Ford Festiva he's currently putting together.
Said Festiva has a miata 1.8 BP engine.
Said Festiva also retains the factory power steering and air conditioning.


It looks totally boring and bland until you lift the hood.

His old BP Festiva looked like rear end but it was quite fun to drive.

Tusen Takk posted:

This is correct :smith:. Also, it starts at $30,000 for the Titanium (top-tier trim), so unless they go all GM and cheap out on the interior, a Fusion with better performance specs may be way more expensive than even, say, an STi or an Evo.

Well it should be, the Fusion isn't in the same segment as the Impreza or Lancer. But hey maybe we're seeing the beginning of performance variants across whole lines instead of one or two models.

I've always wondered how much it would cost to build a private race track if i were to win lotto one day or similar.

Not anything like a full on FIA compliant Tilke designed (flat) modern F1 track, just something about 5 km long that's on a similar level to an ordinary road.

There's one in my region but it's in bad disrepair. Some local rich guy bought up a ton of land north of of city and had a small track paved on it. He was already old by the time I moved here and most of the badly poured concrete is cracked and overgrown so there's no hope of saving it. We did hit it in the Jeep once and got chased off the property by State Troopers though.

This guy was at Cars & Coffee yesterday

Turbo LS1 swapped RX-7. Sounded great but the owner was kind of a dick to some of the other attendees. Then it died on him when he tried to leave and we all laughed our asses off at him raging at the car.


I also met the founder of Focaljet who is a really cool dude.

A few guys locally own Cobalt SS's and Saturn Redlines and were discussing the available aftermarket parts and places that specialize in those cars. RX7 dude started dismissing everything they said as a waste of time and that their cars were essentially garbage. These guys are some of our best C&C attendees, they always show up with a good attitude and are generally chill dudes. RX7 guy was just being a jerk for no real reason.

Nah, both our local Redline guys have black cars. We've got three Cobalt SS owners in the local crowd as well. Sadly that's the only pic I have with the Focus in it.
