That is absolutely super hilarious. I don't know about you guys, but I kind of feel like people were dumb to go see this.

+1 Also let the record show that I do not own any firearms. In fact, I own nothing of value whatsoever:ninja:

I was just looking at the rail-knife in Sportsmansguide and thinking of some stupid MW2 photo op. Ha! Nice yugo. Is that a mitchell's mauser? Haha!

v-twin for the win. They sound cool too.

Funny I was just thinking the same thing.

Thanks for the heads up. Too bad sigs are so God awful overpriced, this helps a little.

Not much to cover that hasn't already been said. I don't know what Crossle is talking about push-rod tubes, it's an OHC motor Are you thinking of a beetle? The 3.2 is a good engine. The last year is the best to get as the g50 is a much better trans than the 915 I think most of the 3.2s got. Fairly trouble free, much more reliable than a 964, but not quite as simple as an earlier 911 SC. They leak oil which is fairly common and some of them will have snapped head studs. You can do about anything with a 911 because the engine bay is about the same size through most of the model lineup. It's not overly difficult to swap in a later 3.6 or any number of other popular engines. Watch out for rust around the windshield, make sure it hasn't had any monkey-mechanics going on and that sort of thing. The earlier 911s had rust issues around the torsion bar tubes as well, so check the floorpan pretty well. EPR does good work- Ed is always friendly and does all kinds of nice custom work. Last time I was there he had an older 2.7 (?) that had a 993 body kit on it and he was painting another 911 in Audi pearl. Good work and not sheisty like Auto Assets can be sometimes. Forgot to add... The motors will go 180k miles just fine, but most get rebuilt before then. If it smokes, the valve guides probably need attention as that is fairly common. If youlook at a targa, see if the seals have been replaced because most of the originals will be leaky by now.

Yes they are. Okay, maybe not but they sound good enough to enjoy with the top down and I'd rather drive a 911 convertible than the car I have now. Come on Chris, you'd drive an r8 convertible if I let you borrow it, and you'd love it. Plus, bikes don't have roofs and they're fine.

Psh, I'll blast him with my 1887s while flying through the air Chuck-Norris style! I'd rocka 5-7, but not for self defense. Plus, ammo is kinda expensive and I heard the trigger pull is terrible. Is that true?

Sure most of us car guys would RATHER have a hardtop, but are you saying that you would NOT drive a nice car just because it isn't a hardtop? How about a Ferrari 430? Jaguar XKE? Formula 1 car? Sure, convertibles are a little girlier than hardtops, but you can hear the sexy Porsche engine a whole lot better!

Proof? Numerous people here have already witnessed/experienced even old chevy small blocks turning the propositioned RPM and being driven on the street. /thread

neither are the stock valvetrain or clutch. If 1950s transmissions could handle 7000+ rpm, I'm sure we can get you a nice "modern" synchromesh tranny that will handle your piddly-ass 500 lb-ft and 10k rpm;)

That's why you don't put 10,000rpm motors into a wheel horse. Synchros are perfectly capable of handling 10k rpm- just go to youtube, search 10000rpm and tell me people can't shift.

And how many of them blow up each race? Could your car's engine spin 8000rpm for 500 miles? Would you consider your engine reliable? WTF are you talking about? How much torque do you think a Nascar motor makes at 9000rpm compared to 5000rpm? A "modern" synchromesh transmission can handle 10,000 rpm just fine. Ugh!

Hate to break it to you, but since that's not a military caliber, and it isn't very popular, there isn't really any "bulk cheap ammo" for it. You can look at Wal-Mart, Sportsmans guide, and the other usual suspects I suppose but it isn't going to be "cheap." Best you could do is reload. The straight wall cases will last a long time, and you can play with loadings a bit. Even AIM shows about $15/50 rounds, which is pretty close to .40 S&W and .45 ACP nowadays.

Thanks for the BMW bike pics. The headlight surround on the one looks suspiciously similar to 1998-2002 japanese bikes...

Clinton banned it.

Um, I'm pretty sure that China was invaded and occupied by Japan in WW2 Unless there's a giant conspiracy, in which case it must be the US .govt's fault (as everything "is"). We helped China before we even entered the war, and then pwned the hell out of Japan. You're welcome. Then the ungrateful turds turned communist, and backed our enemies in Korea and Vietnam. Thanks a bunch guys.:bangbang:

Very well. +rep for not being a poser then. Welcome.

It's funny how I don't like this car in pics very much, but in person I think they look much better. Still, in before massive 335 turbo failure.

Thanks for covering the little china wang. Oh, and maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure China would still be occupied by Japan if it weren't for the US. How's that working out for ya?

And where would they sell their stuff without the US? I agree with reducing our dependency on China for production. China-mart pwns us. If only Klinton didn't ban so much of the good Chinese stuff we'd have cheap AKs and nearly free ammo. Never again.

Do you rally/ off-road the wrx?

What's up? The real question is this: Are you or are you not eating McDonalds?

That's why there is the half-cock hammer position. Many guns have this (including my usp45) which lets the hammer sit just off the firing pin assy so that "dropping" it on the hammer can not allow a chambered round to fire. You'd be crazy to NOT carry a SA pistol cocked. Seriously people. If I can I carry cocked with safety on (as should you), on my other da/sa carry weapons it's hammer down.
