  1. holy fuck at the end. How in the hell did you make it out of that one. The instagram account is listed as private so couldn't see any pics :(

     

    A lot of driving and a little luck. Its burned into my memory-I remember every last detail of it. Account is fixed public now.

     

    Good video :) Every time I see that clip of the "crash" I just imagine how crazy that had to be in a car that was designed to crash in the <70mph range. Glad you walked away from it. True example of a "street car"

     

    Yeah it was hairy! I am surprised they wanted to use that footage.

  2. I had the opportunity to get a full backstage tour of the Roadster Shop in IL thanks to a friend that is an engineer there. It is by far, bar none, the most complete over the top in terms of capability shop I have ever seen. Unreal. If you have 10 minutes to kill, watch this video. Friends of AMS may seem some familiar faces in there. ;)

     

  3. best way to do this is buy a whole wrecked truck, pull everything you need and scrap the truck when you are done.

     

    My buddy did this for the LS swap into his '64 caddy and came out way ahead when it was all said and done.

     

    100%

     

    Piecing shit together will get expensive

  4. Noticed that as well but rock auto has operation out of Ohio so I just assumed it was similar to amazon now that items are sold in the state so state tax has to be charged... funny how shipping cost is not changing though

     

    I read an article about how much this is going to hurt small business, and our pockets. Businesses like on 3 for example that move low volume high value products will be the greatest effected.

     

    What makes it even more confusing is the states themselves will be setting the rules for how much product needs to go to a state for them to request and collect tax.

  5. I don't agree with this, I'm still having adrenaline withdraw. No amount of videos (and I watch plenty) can make up for being there. It's pretty hard to go street racing without people who are out looking for it. Besides I currently feel like there are a few guys with really fast cars, and a lot of kids with nearly stock stuff, doesn't make for fun racing anyway.

     

    I agree, that's why I still Mexico a few times a year, and anything I am driving sees WOT in high gear a few times a week ;)

     

    Im saying for the average person-factor in the dumbing down of america with Facebook/Other social media. We are growing up in a time where the majority of 16 year olds "dont see the point" of a driver's license. THESE are the times we are living in!

     

    Also, the "fastest wallet" aspect is a factor. Bac int eh late 90's early 2000s everyone had 12 second cars, and if you where itn eh 10s you were REALLY fast. You could have tons of races anywhere you went. Now, thanks to Money and technology, any nerd with no Drivers skill can swipe a credit card and go 8s with the AC on sipping starbucks driving with one hand. That has taken some fun out of the game as well.
