El Audino
I was dubious about the doors and mirrors like Bucko apparently was, too, but turns out that is indeed what B7 mirrors and door handles looked like. Looks like it's Audi bodywork right to the B pillar.

I like how all the Porsches spun out yet lowly Escorts nailed that off camber corner. Even the shitbix Corvette managed it.Former multiple nat. dh champ behind the wheel, won the nat. rally title in the historic class in this car against way more powerful competitor's cars.

Yeah, to nail a corner it takes more than hp. The old saying still holds true, straights are for fast cars, corners for fast drivers.
My R1 rev'd to 14,700.

This Matt guy would fit in here pretty well I guess. Just watch for ~40 secMy R1 rev'd to 14,700.

I drive past one of these a couple of times a week, still makes me giggle.

This is super cool! I just bought an R8 (much older than this one) which makes this video even more interesting to me.
Finally an ugga dugga to replace the lead hammer.
Isnt there a rear tower strut issue with the older ones?
If I gotta start commuting again, the truck will kill me. This might be fun, though. 47k miles on an '04 6 speed.
Saab 96 upper rear shock mounts...
My old truck did WAY worse than this, but it's still pretty bad. It's about $400 a month in gas. I'm not looking to "break even", I'm looking for viable options.
Truck = $400/month in gas
Z = $200/month payment, $80/month insurance, $200/month in gas
So +$80/month for 6 speed fun.
And let's not forget my commute. Rocky Point isn't fun in the truck.
It's got 47k miles on it. I could get at least 100k out of it and I only need it to last a year before I'm back to remote work. And I'd look to pay more like $9k.19 yo Nissan for 12k?
Maybe Nissan is a different situation, but the biggest challenge with my 21yo VW with low mileage is that all the plastic and rubber parts - hoses, pipes, wires, interior parts, buttons - go to shit regardless of the mileage.
My Vette developed a random security fault that I never solved and nobody seemed to know about.
I've been bugging my buddy who had 2 different 350z's before he bought his GT-R. Reliability is actually pretty good on these it seems, but I know what you mean about the degradation.
