good one @captainbeandip . something to be said for a small, light low power vehicle; being able to run it 100% flat out and not come into the realm of jail time speed. Like the Isuzu diesel pickup I drove at work for a little bit. It fun running wide-open 99% of the time, like a classic...

100%. I work alongside a pretty diverse group in multiple cities. Recon I grew up in a vacuum and my Father was a car guy. But ****... a LOT of people do not care one bit what they drive, how it looks and are really lax on maintenance. I notice dented body panels, messed up trim, mismatched...

Can I vote again? (Love spending other peoples money). Go a little outside the norm (No Vette, P-car, or BMW): The car you wanted when you were in high school Different top shelf rental a few days each month Turo rentals Lotus Tesla 3P

#1) check insurance and taxes before you pull the trigger on anything Muscle cars will always be cool How about one of these clubs or groups? $ per mile is probably high, but it would be a known cost, walk away whenever you are tired of it, constant rotation of new rides. (I'm sure whatever...

:( VA PPT really chaps my ass. I meant the total... You've got 8? cars in your signature... VA tax man must LOVE you. (Got raped for $1,100 last week :mad:)

Good car. Respect for doing what you can detailing wise... coin operated wash WAY better than the drive thru scratch machines. (Especially with modern weak-thin finishes... We really dropped the ball on that). Dude, I gotta ask. You must get absolutely KILLED with VA personal property taxes?

How about a Scirocco? 🤤 Lines on those are so classy, real drivers car (Sad I was a bit too young/poor/stupid) to buy one of these back in the day)

I would say zero chance dealer has will or ability to detect a suck and refill. Say the engine blows up and dealer finds a Temu oil filter and suspect oil, your in trouble, but otherwise I say your plan is good.

That suuuuuuucks. I wonder what became of Isky? Comp Cams was king of the hill for a long time right? To be fair, I only was involved with a single aftermarket cam, that was bacon the 90's. I wanted an Isky or Crane, but went with a Mopar Performance due to the split lift and duration #'s...

Sounds well planned. Curious why Summit branded cam? I'm guessing this will be low mileage per year? I'd do top shelf 10-30 with annual changes if it was me (ie HPL or the A[cult] )

My Daughters little Honda was about half both those numbers. BUT, super easy to spill and fill. I opted to just spill and fill with each oil change while I was in there.

I would speculate anything wet clutch safe is fine. It was ages ago [but has 2T changed that much?] We were told by the Honda and independent shop and manual simply: "Change after every race" Fuel dilution is certainly the killer of 2T crankcase oil, but were talking less than s qt per...

Very interesting! Seems like a piece of equipment that is frequently rented. Suggest contact local equipment rental and see what they use. Probably not much difference between makes/models and those rental places live and die off repairs/PM. (Obviously, also try to contact the manufacturer)

Saw similar pre-RONA at local Toyota dealer; If you were still under the Toyota Care (Maintenance included for the first 32k or whatever it was when you bought it new) You got TGMO. Outside of that it was something else.

While I'm dreaming; I'd like to see mandate where manufactures have to disclose line item replacement costs of things like this and say $600 VW transmission flushes. BEFORE they are allowed to sell you the car. (My Sister probably would not have bought her new beatle if she new ahead of time...

Sad this is a problem. I say waterboard him for intel, then his accomplices, then them and on and on. Then they get hard labor work release until restitution is paid

IMHO: Supply and demand is the main factor. Cost of fuel and cost of electricity (For those willing to deep dive when researching) Domestic situation: 2 car household have a lot of flexibility in terms of say a medium/large SUV + an EV cover their needs. A LOT of single / non-nuclear...

6:02 anyone notice the RAT deployed? I recon just testing for the sake of it and/or certification? Hopefully has more gusto than the 787. I'm a cargo guy, 78 is weak sauce

So bad, it's good (Credit to Beavis and Butthead for the discovery):
