Shit. My go-to playlist goes from Creed to Eagles to Metallica to Alan Jackson to Sinatra to Gojira and back to Tremonti. Weird combos and dad metal are the best.
I almost exclusively listen to X-metal and country Basically white trash 2BHonest
Oh, also. The car gods clearly despise me. I broke my ignition switch on my Toyota just now in the Kroger parking lot a mile from my house. Almost new record for me!

Its a toyote from like the 80z right? I'd imagine its doable without too much fuss at all
[QUOTE=evilweazel;52077538]Hmmm that reminds me Whats everyone's popular opinion, AA edition? I think the New Fiat Viaggios with a manual trans and the turbo motors are crappy mediocre italian little junkers with a Dodge badge slapped on them as they recycle a cool car name from the 60s and 70s and pair it into an Italian engine car with a Hyundai transmission making it a super duper American muscle car. Cousin's wife has one and i created a go-fund-me account page for her. I showed pictures of the car and told stories of how absolutely depressed she was that she bought the car, and it raised $40,000 in less than 12 minutes with lots of comments and prayers listed. She was able to buy two new Civics and we hired a trash company to put the Dart on a barge and shove it out into the Atlantic ocean, and then they shot flaming arrows at it until it became nothing but smoldering ash. I'm so glad the fiat viaggio only lasted a couple years before people realized it was garbage and they quit making it. I also think hatches are fuckin tits[/QUOTE] Inspirational.

Yeah, it's an 87. And I just let it sit in the parking lot, went home and ate my dinner, and will show up tomorrow with an ignition switch and a screw driver. And zip-ties for when I inevitably fuck that up and need to Roadkill it home with a half-fucked steering column, a loose switch, and some toothpicks on the speedo.
[QUOTE=Trilby Harlow;52079006]What are these? I've never seen either before. The best guesses i have for the black one is a noble or some mad hennessy, i'm completely lost on the red one. Almost feels like a body kit for an XK8 Also that GT is so gorgeous. That and the XJ220 are the only supercars on my bucket list. Although the 220 trumps the GT because it's a genuinely serious car and not ford's gift to itself for how great they think they are.[/QUOTE] The Panoz has been identified already. The other car is a Factory Five GTM, a kit car that uses the drivetrain of a C5 Corvette and a Porsche 911's transmission. [t]http://i.imgur.com/kknKld2h.jpg[/t]
So, in my Miata, the A/C died, and now so has the power steering. Don't care to fix either at the moment, and the way it's set up is there are 2 accessory belts, one of which goes from the harmonic balancer, to the A/C and PS pump. I should be able to remove that belt with no ramifications, correct?

It seems to be the waterpump is powered by the timing belt, just make sure your not taking the belt off the alternator too or else you will find out the hard way at night. [editline]10th April 2017[/editline] [t]http://i.imgur.com/xAXaVzq.jpg[/t] I was gonna hang this big bastard up in my room above my bed, but it turns out it is 6' 8" long and I would boop my head into the rudder all night long with it up against my wall that my bed is on since its the only wall tall enough. Now I gotta figure out another area to hand this thing in........

It pisses me off how so many people don't care about their vehicles. I wash mine, wax mine, spend a lot of time fixing mine, just to have people key them, dent them, etc. Not to mention people that pull out without caring if you are there, switch lanes without caring, etc. Both my vehicles have glazed brakes from avoiding accidents from such people. I fixed both of them once, rather costly to do, and within weeks i faced the same scenario.

I have plenty of friends who just let their vehicles rot because they don't mean anything to them. All the while having asking me why I work on and wash my car so much.
I have a few rust dot spots on my car im going to go ham on here soon with a wire brush wheel and touch up paint. I will not have rust on my car, fuck what the consistency of the paint is. As long as its the same white, fuck what ya heard.

I'm the last owner of the Toyota, however, and don't know plans for the Sunfire but doubt I'll flip it. So no harm done. I didn't enjoy having a car I took great care of, always maintained that the most enjoyable ride is one you have absolutely no regards for. In particular, everybody gave me shit for having the Kia, and I absolutely hate Kias, but damn if that didn't make it the most fun car I ever had. I'd stall it when parking it just to be a dumbass, it felt great. So much easier for me not to stress over parking lot scratches and dings and just move on. I don't suggest everybody should do that, especially not car enthusiasts, but I love crapcans and treat them for what they're worth.
every car I've ever babied has died an early death. the ones I've beat the shit out of are still reliable to this day. [editline]10th April 2017[/editline] except the turbo metro but that's what I get for cranking 200 horses out of a car that made maybe 60 from the factory

From the road to the track [Quote]Designed for the mechanically inclined, the Demon comes with a crate full of Snap-On tools and parts so that owners can go from a street- to a track-oriented setup by turning a few wrenches. The box is filled with eighteen components including Demon-branded tools (such as a hydraulic floor jack and a torque wrench), matching spare wheels, performance parts, the aforementioned high-octane PCM, and what Dodge calls a Track Pack system.

designed for the mechanically inclined, bought by those who cant change a tire
I put coilovers on my car last night. I adjusted them wayyyy too high for the initial measurement. Behold. A lifted stanced Neon SRT-4. [t]http://i.imgur.com/SKdhZ8d.jpg[/t]
leave it that way
And get bigger tires
Mistakes into miracles, get some stubby rally tyres and slap on it.
Factory trans brake, line lock, using the A/C to cool the intercooler, launch control, datalogging, my god. The mad men are actually making a full blown drag car and they're doing it right
