Relics of a different but potentially better time. I recall the days of SROs and these pics remind me of themVisiting Pittsburgh, believe it or not these pictures were taken this weekend.
Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.
- Thread starter Slow Car Sport Mode
- Start date
Nothing pictured was a better time....what's an SRO?
Was that nut forced on? Awful shiny threads.
It would appear the Scion has gotten stuck in a Film Noir
...I'm not sure what to do now

That part looked fine up close, it didn’t seem to be cross threaded. The bolt head that’s supposed to be directly below it is broken off. There’s also one dead center, top row that’s missing as well, it’s hidden under the heat shield.
They had to order some new bolts and they’re going to fix it this week. He stated that they’ve broken bolts on every U90 recall that they’ve done. I said, “That would be a good reason to have some on hand.”
Oh well, it’s not the end of the world.

And. Spartacus, the "fat little bird,"
passed away this morning. He was a bad Bird Dad (he didn't feed the baby bird he helped make and that bird passed away too) but now he's in the afterworld. R.I.P. Spartacus a.k.a. Spartacus The Penguin in his last few weeks (he was so fat he couldn't fly. Probably Fatty Liver disease but. Not definitive.)He passed in his cage of natural causes.
Goldie is in her "prayer pose" (she lays more sideways but there was a blanket/pillow there) and Snowflake is doing pretty well.
We don't have a full concensus on what we think these 3 cars are.
The near car is 99 44/100 certain a T-Bird. The far car isn't however the nose mimics an Avanti to me. The center a later 50's big car with missiles or whatever you want to call them on the hood which narrows but doesn't isolate it.

I had to look it up. It's a RWD Diablo with 595HP, which was a pretty decent upgrade (power-wise) over the stock N/A V12. According to Top Gear, they made 150 SE30 RWD Diablos, and of those 150, 28 of them were converted to Jota spec.
Not as rare as the VTTT of course, but pretty rare!

Great video, thanks for the share!
Hate those things.
Had a big one fly straight for my face once when on a riding mower. Jumped off the mower, ran and screamed like a little girl. But, I mean, you know, who wouldn't have?

This one is still on my door. I guess he knows bad weather is coming.
Your post reminds me of my last chiropractor visit. Blew out my back and the doc puts me on the spine machine to get me aligned.
So he puts me on it at a gradual pace that speeds up and it was okay until it hit the lower three vertabraes and it hurt like all heck.
The door is closed and I can't even get up. He comes back twenty minutes later and asked how I was doing....
I told him I was crying like a school girl... Didn't you hear me?
He bust out laughing..
This was at our Cars and Coffee this past Saturday.
Was up in Duluth two weeks ago. Loved the weather.

Those are the locks for the hood pins. The lock pins are at the end of those wires.
Bought powdered Gain at Walmart. I need to go back to Walmart and buy a Dustbuster.
