  1. When is D42 supposed to open back up? Thompson and Quaker up here are also GREAT tracks that make for a cheap rental
  2. The Mini feels 100 times larger than the Fiat interior wise, and the S feels like a "car" when you toss it around (I attribute to much larger wheels.tires/suspension. The Fiat feels like an oversized Little Tikes cart. Its odd how different they drive really. No idea on price and resale between the 2.
  3. Just find an manual S- save the trouble and boredom in the long run.

    Boats

    Lol, that is NOT the reality of pontoon boating.. this is. http://www.logoboat.com/LOGO/12%20FT/12%20FT.%20NEW%20CONCEPT%204%20%20PERSON%20PONTOON.jpg Hell the OP said he liked this one for god's sake!! Looking at that thing, I am surprised they don't require an AARP car to buy it,
  5. Likely compressor surge in one of the stages.
  6. Bring oxygen. The place smells like one giant toilet most days,
  7. WTF was she searching when she stumbled on this? :no:

    Boats

    Yes, that's not a boat. That's a set of floats with a deck. IMO pontoon boating is not boating at all. Its like owning a Prius and calling yourself a car guy. I have owned a few boats-I have been lucky to at least break even on all of them. But if you have never owned one I would rent or go out with a buddy a few times, and see if its for you. If you dock it, its a big expense. If you trailer it, its a big pain in the ass. If its a boat work a fuck, it will suck down gas like a savage. Its like a hot hooker-looks great on paper but you always feel remorse immediately after use.
  9. Too soon! LOL Funny enough HOI does not cover aircraft or helicopter strikes. I have a rental close to the airport, and I actually have a aircraft or airborne debris (Meteor, UFO...ect) rider, its like $2.50 a month.
  10. I'm tempted-but 1) its hard for me to spend near 20% of what I have in the whole car in just wheels! (not including the mickey T's I will need for the rears) 2) Considering the size, I would really ant to test fit them-which poses some obvious problems with distance/weather ect....
  11. Would you mind PM'ing me year/miles/what you paid? Looking at one up here.
  12. Kent! That's right, how could I forget. That's the most eloquent way I have even been told "Yes your right, but don't be a dick" ever. Well done! In that case, I wish him luck in his endeavors.
  13. Ohio State College Grad starts a "company" in Tahoe, then moves to Columbus to follow the dope hot JDM market down here? Is this another Wiggsesque "business" so someone can look busy while the trust fund checks roll in?
  14. Honestly don't-but my memory is admittedly not the best.
  15. Seriously-zero recollection of this. If I was crying on the interwebz-there will be proof? Find it!
  16. The Auto car you bought built off Patterson here? I don't remember ever racing it? Link to thread? Either way with as much as the car smoked-excuses for a 160k 1.6 car with a blown turbo losing to anything aren't even needed. But, I would still like to see proof of said race.
  17. That turbo was free, as ti was though to be blown up. She smoked a bit, but worked OK. This is that car vs.a bottom 10's@133mph DSM. This colt was still on a 1.6. BTW, if I knew there was this much interest I would start building and flipping them again.
  18. X1000. Although I think the Go-fund-me revolution is ridiculous as I am a survival of the fittest kind of guy, I think this should be applauded, and his likeness and story should be posted in every SSA office in America. We cant go fund me every internet story that comes across or plates. I mean hell, my Great Grandmother raised 5 kids through the fucking great depression. She walked to work everyday, and had to lie about being married just to get the job (married women could not work in factories back then). She is now 104, and lives on her own in a single family home. Should I start a go-fund-me for her tenacity? BTW, its up to $330k, and ends tomorrow.
  19. He is looking for "reliable" 650 crank HP. Why thats the number? IDK. Figure through a FWD DSM trans that 550-580whp, IMO that's a bit much to consider reliable. Also, with a 3 or 4 speed RWD trans with a lot of converter it will be a dog out of the hole unless you spray it, or use a smaller turbo to make big torque down low-both of which would severely increase the likelyhood of bending or breaking a stock rod. Can it be done? Sure. Would it blow up within a year of real drag racing ? Likley. Would a simple drop in rod/piston combo fix this? Yes, but IMO the LS is still a better fit for a RWD Auto drag car. Was the OP's goal basically impossible to ascertain with the title of the thread-guaranteeing a train wreck of BS opinions most of which will have no bearing on what (who knows what really) he is looking for? FUCK YES. 'Merica
