Trouble Maker

I'd pay at least $150 for that. No one makes it rain like I do. Who's going to build this for me... Ok I'll do $160, no higher.

So you think that guys home built car is a bargin or too expensive for what it is? IIRC the Caterham is around the same price (~$200k).

FUCK that, it's on page 110, how in the fuck am I supposed to find that? Sorry I haven't read all 110 pages.

Does it surprise you that he (maybe) spent way more for that than he would of for something off of the shelf. You make something piece-meal, you'll usually pay more than if you buy it whole. You start making custom one-off parts and the price will sky rocket.

I hadn't run across this yet, thanks! :bangbang: EDIT: Wow, from just glancing across a few things that guy knows his shit. I'll have to start reading all of that sometime soon.

http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56816 From a brief glimpse on (US) Ariel's website it looks like this Atom 500 hasn't even been produced yet. I think there was 'talk' of it around that time. But talk is just that, talk. I'm taking this is news of the pending actuality of this car. I'd rock the fuck out of either. I thought this was the engine in the Catherham, but upon further looking probably not. Along the same lines though. http://www.h1v8.com/

Make sure they aren't doing a mountain bike race if you decide to go. It will be much busier if there is a race for the weekend.

Get drunk and do the worm...

Most people here or anywhere waste money on a lot of things. Alcohol, cigarettes, junk food, car parts. A few bucks a week on the lottery is nothing really. If that's one of the places he wants to spend his wasted money, so be it.

Probably Fox news, they are trying to convert your computer into a neo-con.

I was thinking something along these lines. Would it be reasonable to wait until she can sit in a booster seat? If it were me I might feel safer with a booster seat in the front seat (of anything) than a child seat. I'm sure there is a reason to put child seats in the back seat if the car has one. Did she miss coming to C&C today? You can't haul her Jeep around in the Vette.

I agree to an extent. I'd feel much safer crashing in a full tube frame car at 200mph than crashing in any plane at any speed.

Good thing that car went strait at the end.... I'd shit if I saw this too. http://gizmodo.com/5629457/high-on-list-of-things-you-dont-want-to-see-from-your-airplane-window-massive-shower-of-sparks

Hoping there is an underlying reason for this post?

Another vote for T56. You already have a drag car with an auto trans and I assume big stall. Have some fun with a manual with the .5 ratio 6th gear and cruise at low rpms on the highway!

Let me know when you are going to be up there. Haven't seen you in forever and it'd be great to see your new setup run!

Congrats on the promotion! Congrats on hiring Alex? Have fun competing with Matt (friend of mine and some others on here who manages the swamill one)!

The wagon IS300's are pretty cool too. The bodies remind me of each other. I'd still take an S4 wagon over either of those!

IIRC SN95 chassis was not completely new but an iteration on the Fox body chassis and (parts of?) the interior will swap in. Any Ford/Mustang guys have any more info? I think I've heard people before say "The whole interior will just swap right in", but I'm would assume it's not that easy.

What's the new asking price?

Eh, I did also give you some good info in there. Take it or leave it.

Well... there is always Beerfest. Since it's not the exact thing you were looking for I understand why you couldn't find it by a google search and it may not be what you are looking for. They also don't have bud light or rodis there so I don't think it would be your style. p.s. If you couldn't tell I was being sarcastic. Use the internet Holmes. I'm sure there's stuff going on around town all of the time. You just have to look. Since you couldn't find the first thing that comes up when you type Columbus Beer Fest into Google I'm going to guess you thought CR would be a better resource than the worlds biggest and best search engine. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=columbus+beer+fest p.p.s. A good place to start would be the local places that carry lots of brews. Some of them do tastings on a regular basis. Some of the local brew houses have samplers. The elevator comes to mind, their's is a great deal (IIRC cheaper than their actual beers per oz). Some of the local places that carry lots of brews also do build your own six pack singles. Good way to get a lot of different beers. I also don't know why they haven't updated the info on their web page (Columbus Beerfest). It will be happening next year around the same time and there will be a smaller event sometime in the winter, I believe in February.
