[QUOTE=dude709;47579223]...that crap isn't moonshine[/QUOTE] What they tried or what I get? Because what I get is as pure as it can possibly get.
[QUOTE=Del91;47579229]I've had homemade "Apple pie" and it had quite the burn.[/QUOTE] The first alcoholic beverage I ever had was apple pie. Good stuff.
My first was cheap whiskey. Good ol Rich n rare. Its neither
No, true FC moonshine isn't that bad. It's actually extremely smooth, has a good level of sugar in it, and is still strong enough to ignite. Basically, really, really dangerous in many good ways.
[QUOTE=DPKiller;47579127]I know they probably wont come back. We had the police roll by their house reeeeeally sloow with the lights on and their little front lights that they can point aimed at their house... We know who It is, We have a great photo of his sleeve tattoo. He is even wearing the SAME SHIRT AS IN THE PHOTO. I already called the local scrapyard and they have evidence. Now its only waiting for TWO DIFFERENT COUNTYS to get their shit together in order to put out a warrant. Also we added all the stolen property up and it = 5,070$[/QUOTE] fucking right boys
Hey you guys... N/A slant six with aluminum head and other mods (I think alcohol on direct injection too)- Vs a Hellcat Challenger.

[QUOTE=Del91;47579493]My first was cheap whiskey. Good ol Rich n rare. Its neither[/QUOTE] RnR is cheap?! Man, get some Kessler's. High school for me was Kessler's and Sunny D or just straight from the $9 fifth.
nii told me his friend brews beer and also makes his own shine and that he'd try and procure a bottle of it for me. Alcoholism ho!
So yeah About cars...
My first drink was a pint glass of my uncle's homemade wine. Tasted like shit and I was maybe 10-12 at the time, so I only had two sips.
It turns out the holley 2bbl I found is an exact copy of a progressive Weber carb that is supposed to go on vw beetles. Lucky me. Now I just gotta rebuild it and make a linkage. Anyone wanna buy a solex dual carb setup?
I gotta stop looking at this thread. It keeps reminding me that I can't do anything for my car for the next 5 years, probably more.

[QUOTE=Animosus;47582103]Is money the issue or P plater restrictions?[/QUOTE] I just looked that up, holy shit that sucks. It makes perfect sense from a safety point, but it really has to suck to be restricted by that.
[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;47582732]I just looked that up, holy shit that sucks. It makes perfect sense from a safety point, but it really has to suck to be restricted by that.[/QUOTE] Actually it doesn't make sense for a safety point. My state is one of the only states without vehicle restrictions for P platers as they found 0.02% of all crashes involving P platers with any injuries, were in a performance cars. Most people who drive performance cars actually have an understanding of the limits of their cars, whereas friends of mine who drive their shitty little toyota echos and have no interest in cars are the most dangerous drivers. It's just a way to say they are doing something to make safer drivers rather than fixing the primary issue of driver training being appalling in Australia.
Does the windshield have to be glass to pass inspection?
Depends where it is. [editline]23rd April 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Animosus;47582769]Actually it doesn't make sense for a safety point.

That's just fucking ridiculous though.
Looks like in Texas you don't even need a windshield but wipers are required.

Wouldn't worry about it.
Ah fuck. Guy sold the Rx7 last night. Guess I'm throwing some summer tires on the MJ now.

The laws are different for each state, Northern Territory P-platers are unrestricted AFAIK. Being a P-plater sucks so much ass, especially P1, you feel so restricted on the road and you tend to stay away from highways because lol 90km/h forced speed limit.

Only two of two interstate highways is allowed a 65mph speed limit of which is primarily just "rural" areas that are completely straight and flat for 20-30 miles.
[QUOTE=Animosus;47582103]Is money the issue or P plater restrictions?[/QUOTE] It's P plater restrictions, the fact that my dad co-owns it, and it was bought new, meaning that it has the factory warranty on it for at least another few years. Also, it's a Hyundai i30, a perfectly ordinary car with average fuel economy. Also, there's a chance that my uni degree will never allow me enough time to do anything. I guess I can't complain, since I didn't have to pay anything when the car was bought, but somehow I still feel like I'm missing out.

You must fell like a grandma. [editline]23rd April 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Grenadiac;47582965]Looks like in Texas you don't even need a windshield but wipers are required.[/QUOTE] Texas Logic. If you get classic or antiqe plates nothing is required pretty much. (On paper it does but at a physical inspecition place you would take longer with the tech admiring your car that it would be getting looked over.)

It's hilarious to see the out of staters blast down the interstates at 80-90, the state troopers love them.
I got my 80 in a 60 about a mile outside of a 70. Where everyone goes 70 anyways. >:(
So I got a new job last week. I'm now a valet in Philadelphia proper. So anyway, on my shift last night, I drove a BMW X1... That car is such a good car that I got out of it and told my boss that more manufacturers need to build cars like it. It's the perfect size, has plenty of punch for exploiting gaps between SEPTA buses, holds things, reasonable on gas, has an amazing driving position, and drives 2 sizes smaller than it is unlike the 7 3 Series sedans I drove throughout the night.

Found like 40 Porsche marketing posters in some stuff my Grandfather gave me. They're all awesome but holy fuck frames are expensive. [t]http://i.imgur.com/UDvMoyu.jpg[/t]
