One of the Seven clones at my local autocross has a warmed-over 302. I got to take a ride along once as long as I promised to close my visor and keep my hands crossed on the restraint belts like a rally driver preparing for a rollover. When I got out half of my closed-face helmet visor was covered in still-smouldering tire marble kicked up from the rear fenders, bounced off the front 'fenders' and into my face. I haven't driven it, because I know from experience that you don't really "come back" from driving a car like that. You leave something out there, and it can never return to you. You'll always be chasing that first drive. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Aug 1, 2015 |

Muffinpox posted:The Viper sits parked outside my apartment on the street. I return to find a pack of guys staring at the car, taking photos of it, taking selfies with it. They gawk at it. They look at it like a piece of meat. They don't know what it is. One of them figures it out and says, "But it's a loving Dodge. I wouldn't spend 80k on a Dodge." The rest agree. "I would buy a 911 for 80k" one of them says, "It's nicer." He's missing the point of the Viper, I think to myself. I should let them know. I straighten my wife beater and tuss my blow out hairstyle. I walk over and they look down at the aluminum bat I have in my hand. "You talking poo poo bout my Viper?" I ask them, "I don't think you understand what a Viper is about. Let me show you some snakebite" as I start swinging for the fences.  Tremendous stuff. You should send it to Gilles and film the next commercial.

There, you've had your fun. Are you ruined for actual cars now?

Subaru is generally dogshit at brake feel. In the Imprezas for awhile people would upgrade to the STI master cylinder or run a master cylinder brace but they always felt not good enough and that the owners were trying hard to justify the expense.
