Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

Ha.  Finally found some long sleeve shirts that fit that are 100% cotton.  Cinch, and what do you know, there is the factory outlet store in Denver and I'm headed there this weekend.

Drives the wife somewhat nuts that western style clothes are the only things that fit me right it seems like.

 thanks guys

I am currently using my 880 now.  Damned pico though...making me consider to bring the 8053 and BLA out of retirement and see how all that Eclipse + ZED goodness would work with each other.

And FWIW, I am so tired of working on Euros it is sickening. I love my new job, I am extremely happy... but fuck these Euros and Hybrid pieces of shit. I honestly believe that if you enjoy either of the aforementioned vehicle types, you are a fucking retard... no offense intended to my friends here, but they are over engineered pieces of shit with no real world considerations included in the application... Gee, why are Crown Vics the taxi cab of the US? For the same reason these hunks of shit are the taxi cabs of Europe.

 

W123's and W124's with 500k are running all over Frankfurt the last time I was there.  They drive the living snot out of those cars daily and they hold.  My W124 was quite good, my sister's W124 is still going strong.

Miata...I want a fucking Miata. Next summer....driving with the top down. 

 

Bitch car!

 

You'll have the chance to tell me I drive a bitch car pretty soon biggrin.png

The track prepped Miata's that are torching me in autocross, I wouldn't dare call them bitch cars.  Serious suspension + great rubber + small turbo = killer track car.

On the track I'd take handling first.

And the sales guy that works for me in Detroit beat me to the punch, just picked up a Noble M12.  Not quite a Rossion, but at $37k for a 4k mi unit I would have bought it as well.

Bitch car or not, amateur hillclimb competitions are starting to gain momentum here and it's a good car for such purposes.

Better as an autocross car. I don't know how much grunt you can extract from one of those, but hill climbing favors power doesn't it?

Zoom zoom.  This guy has the wheels I want:

Those things are pretty amazing.

I have considered building a factory five car myself. Can be done relatively inexpensive and badass pretty much any route you go.

I've helped on a cobra which wasn't bad at all but the GTM needed a TON of bodywork. Too much of a pain in the ass MHO. But if you like that sorta thing nothing exceptionally hard to build. I think he has about 2,000 man hours in the build. The Cobra was around 500

Many do, this is autocross where speeds never really break 65mph.

Mmmmm, I like my neck too much not to spend 8 bills on a rollbar.

It's more tame than highway driving. Seriously.

But in a 'vert I might be compelled.
