The Car Thread

God, I love the E92 M3.

it was the peak of the M imo and it really started going downhill after that

maybe BMW gave up. "alright we can't develop another V8 that revs to 8,400rpm and meets modern emissions standards, let's just put a turbo on a normal motor and turn the boost up all the way because that was it. no topping that"

My dad ended up trading his 1972 Vega drag car for a more "drivable" 1974 Vega with a small block 355 and a 671 supercharger on it. Now the goal is to find a way to get it legally tagged!

It's an "antique" 🤣

That's badass, though still on the verge of drivable.

I'm sure it sounds wicked at full tilt.

So sad

Saw the news just before bed last night. Very sad to hear, just hoping all the best for his family.
Say what you will about Hoonigan culture, but Ken always seemed like a down-to-earth guy, and accomplished some downright unreal things in his time.
To say he’ll be missed is an understatement.
Sigh. “…great rally stage in the sky…” and all that. Damn.

I want to go do some donuts in his honor, but my inner adult keeps telling me you just bought those tires and they weren't cheap.

 

[Concerto412]

Just finished listening to the latest TST podcast - recorded Dec. 20th - with Betim of BBi talking through the work they’ve done and how far they‘ve come with Hoonipigasus. Ken was scheduled to be back in the car for data runs today, jan 3rd.
I was always a little bigger fan of Ken’s racing than the Gymkhana series, until Climbkhana. In a strange way, the mountain seemed like a perfect environment for his craft. I would have loved to see what he accomplished taking his pink Nightmare-Porsche to the hill, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that.

So I'm getting to that point in my career where I'm fixing to have enough disposable income where I can get that sports car I've always tried to turn my daily driver into.

Out of all the cars I could get...why am I drawn to the most generic ass Pontiac you could think of because it's actually a Holden??

I've always wished the El Camino like Holdens with beds would make it over here...

Huge cam lobes that take a smooth idle off the table?

I've heard a few play "Bleed" by Meshuggah.

Ya, that's the problem about being a car guy that's been broke for the past 10 years....I've had plenty of time to plan the builds. Now that I'm actually gonna be able to afford it...do I want to go for some good ol' American Ricky Bobby I want to go fast, and get the best cam, or go for that Hot for Teacher lope that kept the love alive all these years.

I mean, they misrepresented the average size, then checked to see if the participants believed it or not afterward, but they didn't actually bust out the tape measure, so...
