Wow, who would do such a thing to a classic car like a first-gen Corvette?
No clearly it's a 240Z
Also that the owner makes constant "Yeah, my car really purrs" puns.

i hope it's light and I hope it has 200+HP
I think I am much more interested in the Alfa Romeo version of the car. Give it the engine from the 4C and they'll have a nice little roadster with some (hopefully) classic lines.
They won't, (emissions) but it'd be nice. They could put the turbo 2.3 out of the MazdaSpeed 3 MPS in the new MX-5 for around 265 horsepower? They won't, (who the fuck knows why!) but it'd be nice too.
"All it needs is upper inner fairings"
And here's what was actually wrong:
All inner fairing parts were missing, frame was dented, fairings were held on with zip ties, missing one headlamp bulb, one fork seal was leaking, valve cover gasket leaking, had a slight miss, brake lever was bent, rear set was bent so bad it was rubbing against the swing arm, left side passenger peg was sheared off, all turn signals missing, no plate light, and one shitty ass paint job.
"One careful 80 y/o lady owner, only drove to church on Sundays" roughly translates to ex-police pursuit, ex-rental, ex-taxi, (yeah, all three) 2 million kilometres done and nothing left but half a rusted flywheel.
Took it in and the computer told them the Mass Airflow Sensor was bad so that was replaced and it seemed to be fine.
A couple of days ago I went to start it at home and the revs just started rising and dropping over and over. It did not die but kept doing this. Tried again later and it started fine and ran fine.
This afternoon I went to started and it first did the original die thing, then on restarting it it did the jumping and dropping revs thing and then I think I saw some smoke so I shut it off quick but couldn't find where it was coming from.
Sigh. I just want a full time job so I can ditch this car for a cheap new car under warranty.

that isn't my local garage, but i wonder if that price is accurate
FFFFFFFFF
I have bolded the things that are bullshit and shouldn't be charged for or actually need.
All you really need is a standard oil change, a radiator fluid flush, and a transmission fluid flush. Air filters may or may not need to be changed, really depends on where you live and what kind of driving you do. Wiper blade replacement is not a bad idea, but really that is something you should do whenever your windshield wipers start to suck.
Everything else is either BS or stuff that any decent mechanics shop will include for free.
it is unclear if they will be the primary sponsor on the livery but apparently it's happening
i cannot wait to hear Darrell Waltrips opinions on e-currency
At least the warranty I have on the tires is solid. I've put 30k miles on them and it's only $19 to get a new tire.
30 kmi means worn enough to have to replace its mate, too, right?
2000 Suzuki TL1000S
Only 20,000 miles! Super happy with it so far! Gonna go out and hit the twistys this weekend to give it a real test.
And it gets like 33mpg.
I feel like I need a motorcycle in my life right now.
But I also value being alive.
Compromises, I guess.
As much as I want to like this, Suzuki did it better over a decade ago with the G-Strider.
I only paid $2800
But I know my luck with motor vehicles and I would be the guy that gets smashed because some jackweed didn't check over their shoulder before changing lanes or something.
You get pretty good pretty quick at spotting the numpties that are about to change lanes at you.
Well, you start with 'everyone is out to kill me' then narrow it down slightly from there.
actually most excited about the Pirelli Global Challenge. love them GT cars
