Without knowing the details I'm not sure why are all siding with this guy and against the neighbors. I live in a townhouse complex, we used to have neighbors with an Integra that had some giant rear end exhaust on it that woke up literally every single one of us at 5am every morning when he idled it for 20 minutes.

The whole thing began because these people keep a yappy terrier of some sort out in their front yard in a chain link cage. The dog launches into barking fits when I start my car.

Thing is though, the dog barks when people walk down the street, the dog barks when any other noisy car goes by (this is easily the busiest street in town,) the dog barks even when there's complete silence. It's crazy. They are infamous on our block for subjecting everybody to this racket.

I've driven noisy cars in this area since I was 16, now all of a sudden it's a huge issue for these people, that's what makes this whole thing so difficult for me to get on board with. But it's a dead issue, I'm having another lovely silencer overnighted from Japan. (amazon)

Those plates were designed in large part, by Frances Strickland, the wife of our ex governor, Ted Strickland. Bad taste can go a long way when you're married to the guy that runs everything. They were so universally hated when they came out that I wouldn't be surprised if they played some small part in John Kasich winning in 2010.

The only good thing I have to say about this car is that the convertible roof looks cool in motion. That's it.

It is. I don't know of any bikes that are designed to be filled while on the side-stand; it's like trying to fill a bucket to the brim while it's tilted.

I fill up while on the bike, balancing it upright, about two thirds of the time. The rest of the time I put it on the center stand so I can check the oil at the same time.

We have them, but they usually require a commercial license. That one may be small enough not to, but pickups, even duallies, are regarded as light trucks, and can therefore be operated with a standard passenger vehicle license.

I'd have to guess it's because those of us who have done actual physical labor and need to move materials/animals/equipment/feed are vastly in the minority of goons.

The terrible car stuff is that they're really expensive to buy (for what they are), really expensive to insure (again, for what they are) and they are honestly not that safe at all. If they cost about a third of what they currently do, or at least half, and were subject to the same safety standards as cars are (including NCAP tests) and were cheaper to insure we'd probably all be singing their praises.

The viper isn't OHC so there isn't really much point. DOHC engines tend to have inflated oil capacities because so much of it is tied up in the heads lubing the cams and lifters and timing chain (if present). I was amazed at how little oil a 3.8 GM v6 takes compared to a toyota 2GR-FE or nissan VQ35.

A guy I know has one in his car and he has to stop drinking at like 9pm every night because he has to leave for work at 7am and even though he's not even feeling buzzed at 10pm the .004 or whatever residuals in the morning are enough to not allow him to start his car.

Clearly the solution to people with alcohol problems is to make them lose their jobs because they had 3 beers the night before.

2 seater MR layout, all over the place, cheap as gently caress, parts / chassis everywhere, all mechanical repairs / upgrades easy and fully documented all over the internet. When you think about it, there was literally nothing else that fit all of this criteria out there at the time everybody started dumping the ACVW chassis and turned to molesting Fieros for kit cars. Now I think early Miatas might qualify as well, but the horde of Miata based kit cars just hasn't hit yet.

I'm noticing the vast amount of space to park a car behind the family. I presume that spot is 6' nearer where they're going?

Edit:^ I'm sure they have some but this was a ridiculous amount on only the rear tires. I've never seen wheels tilted like this on an suv in real life. I've seen plenty of VW's and civics with camber like this but usually they have more rounded tires. These had pretty tall suv tires and as I said below I don't think they were even as thick as the stock ones I normally see on X5's. Now I really wish I could have safely gotten a photo.


Nope, I'd say it was just a hair more camber than that. Although I can see how if the angle showed it contrasted with the perfectly straight front tires that may be around the same. Are those the stock tires? I feel like the one I saw had slightly thinner tires, which due to the height just made it looks extra ridiculous.

That'd be cool too.

No a long rear end time ago my mother's best was obsessed with James Caan. The friend ended up having his kid (Scott Caan of Ocean's 13 and Hawaii 5-0 fame). My mother went to visit her friend and went to a party and Burt Reynolds was there and took a liking to my mother but mom wasn't a whore so nothing came of it. My dad does have excellent mustache DNA so clearly mom liked that part of Burt.

The most amazing thing about that to me is that even in loving Russia, a high-speed freeway chase doesn't end with any guns pulled. In the USA there'd be four cop cars, a helicopter, assault rifles everywhere, the driver handcuffed and beaten up with a boot on his face.
