Meth, it's one heck of a drug

We've done FWD, RWD, and 4wd in my family and you're right, you don't need 4wd, but it's a pretty darn nice option to have a available Usually the first few races of the season have either rainouts, sudden downpours, mid race rain cancelations, freezing cold temps, or the timing system laptop or the transponders have tantrums and freak out. Once we hit July, things tend to go well other than occasionally oppressive heat.

Eh, the way our roads are during the winter, I've considered converting my Jeep into a prerunner to handle the rougher roads at speedlimit! BTW, the practice day today went smoothly, hope that's a good omen for the months to follow!

IIRC, their's is indoors and off road, we set ours up in the parking lot on pavement...........that sometimes can almost be considered "off road".

We're getting ready to kick off our HTU's R/C racing season with the stores jewnowners at the helm tomorrow with a practice day and it looks like it will be a typical May/June race........there will be good chance of rain right in the middle of the day..............

Sounds like they got some hail out in Rockford Harry, my new bosses live there and their house got missed, but a friend's ace not too far away got hit.

Loved this one and the 90's Animated Series Batombiles too............could be that they looked like they belonged scream across the dried lake beds of this country too......

This, the Tumbler was a real vehicle that could perform on command when it came time to get it on!

I loved the Tumbler, at least it doesn't look like it should be like those two Post-Keaton/Pre-Bale Batmobiles!

Or storms, got to drive from St. Charles to West Chicago, then on to Westmont in one yesterday.

You need to put the wash over the primer, then paint over both. The wash should tint the paint to a darker tone of the same color and give the gap some depth like you would see with a 1/1 car that has the jabs painted the same color as the outside of the car.

WWWWeeeeeellllllll, the real one's a Japanese truck with a bad Chevy Truck front end. IIRC, Isuzu is the company that GM had design the truck.

Wonder how it would run with the RWD version of the 3.6l in your new Impala.

Considering that's on salt, I wouldn't want to lay that bike down!

I could live with the cage, but the car would have to be a bit longer and wider and the cage would have to as well............wonder how it would look with a period Caddy V-8 in it?

Well, I guess I'll continue with mine then.......... Once I get the folks and the house squared away, I'd pay off my Sister's bills and get her a Black Hemi Challenger like she wants, and maybe a house for her and her boyfriend. I'd take care of all of my bills, fix up my XJ, hot rod my '12 200 Touring, maybe try and find a clean '11-'14 200 Limited Hardtop Convert in Blackberry Pearl to build into a mild custom (bag it, shave the handles, ect), and buy a new Cherokee Trailhawk for a winter driver. I also try and get a warehouse for a shop. Then I would probably go overboard on buying models and R/Cs...................

Do what ever it takes to take care of my folks, that would be #1! Also have some needed work done on their house plus to some of the efficency and other energy related upgrades.

Yup

The Pentastar? It's now standard or available under the hood of everything but the Dart

In the case of the Omni GLH/GLHS, the only Toyotas or Datsun/Nissan that they wouldn't eat alive would have been the Supras and 300zx, and even then, it would have been a close fight and even the then current Ponycars weren't safe from the GLHS.

Why in the world would you put a little motor like that in a car that heavy?!

HMMMMMM,.Gremlin, Chevette, and Pinto are all RWD while the Horizon is the nearly identical twin of the Omni.........which with a turbocharged 2.2/2.5l 4 cylinder and some of the goodies Caroll Shelby put on his versions of the Omni can make for some wicked little pocket rockets.

Depends on if your diesel is based on Crude Oil or Fast Food Fryer Grease. Could smell like a big rig, or a McDonalds

More like if it will, somehow I doubt it will pass our safety rules, even if it uses a GM D-Max for power and is found to be clean enough.

6.6l turbodiesel V-8...................will this be a modern Anglo-American sports car?
