You know, it's a little bit mean spirited but the "Dear Fat People" video is pretty loving hilarious despite being obnoxiously edited.

Test drove a Factory Five 818. The seller had two, one of which was street legal (horn, wipers, cat) but not titled by Mass as a kit car, and another one that doesn't have wipers but is somehow registered. The 818 weighs 1800lbs and has manual steering and manual brakes. The manual steering is good. The last manual steering car I had was a 944, and that steering rack was tremendous and sets a high bar. The 818 has strong kickback, but the weighting is nice and the feedback is undiluted. Overall, the steering lends the car a really raw feel. The unassisted brake stops the car fine if you really stomp on it, but it goes beyond raw to unsafe, imo. The sound and feel of the car tackling bumpy roads reminds me of my NA Miata -- it's ok if the suspension is super crashy -- the thing doesn't weigh anything. Power: pretty insane in the car I drove -- 300hp. The car scoots really hard in the top half of the rev range. Shifter: finally, in contrast to the rubbery stuff in the Spyder and Evora, this car had some crazy tight and short throw aftermarket shifter. Probably just an inch travel in each direction. I got lost 40% of the time trying to find gears, but man it was sweet to shift it home. The shifting compares favorably to a Formula Mazda car I drove at Bondurant: http://i.imgur.com/B7XPVIl.jpg Unfortunately, the street legal car just has the WRX shift tower, so nothing special. I could Kartboy it, of course. For the selling price, I am very tempted. The two main scares are going through the Mass kit car titling process and the manual brakes. Last I understood (from the Type 65 project), the donor car's model year dictates the inspection standard. The seller seems to have a good handle on the procedure, partly because he lives close to Factory Five and knows some people there. I think of this car as a better built, scarier version of the turbo Festiva I had once. Every time you step on it, you know you're gonna die if something goes wrong. Tomorrow is the 348. Going into it, it's Spyder > 818 > Evora. The Evora was nice and cheaper than the Spyder, but the 818's price proposition is insane.

Our receivers were asleep or something and our running back decided straight up the middle for 1-2 yards was a good idea every single time. Also a reminder: Oklahoma was down by 14 with 9 minutes left in the fourth and still won.

The lady and I took the long way through town today to go shopping and stumbled across a British car show. Several very nice Triumphs, Morgans, Minis, etc., but my favorite was probably the Lotus Esprit V8. No good pics other than the few phone snaps my girlfriend took (I was too busy poking my head into and around all the cars) but it was a good time. You couldn't have asked for better weather for a car show, either; upper 70s, sunshine, and a slight breeze. I expect the park to be declared a superfund site after all the oil leaks.

Tonight, one of my friends is having a small bonfire in his backyard, just a few friends on a whim. Instead of being a normal person and texting or calling friends to invite them over, he created a Facebook event page. In which he states you MUST click "Attending" to show up, and not only MUST you click "Attending", you MUST ALSO post on the event page wall to prove that you're serious about attending this extravagant and painfully prepared event. He has so far called out two people that have commented mentioning they're going to show up for not clicking "Attending" and not also posting on the wall stating that they are indeed attending. But don't worry guys, I showed him. I stayed home and watched Netflix all evening.  Edit: Glad I stayed home. Heard a bunch of bros screaming on the street so I went to look out my window just in time to see a drunk chick that was with them roll her ankle off the curb and eat it face first into the street. Aw yeah.

Went to Orlando to meet a friend. Had good food and drink. Totally worth the 3.5-4 hour drive. 50 is a good road to just cruise on.

Well at least you have good taste in music. edit: I've had country, of all things, stuck in my head all day. 80s country. I want to stick knitting needles through my eardrums, but then I'd never hear anything again except for the country music stuck in my head.  edit2: shipped back the first new phone today (the one I had to replace thanks to Amazon sending me an AT&T version instead of a carrier-neutral version). Amazon shows that it's now delayed by customs. It's going to Arizona, what the gently caress Amazon + UPS?

Wait till you see a Sunbeam with a Ford 302 in it. Basically it's the size of a triumph with a bad rear end motor.

urgh... did a full drive flange to drive flange rebuild on the front axle of a mates landcruiser today (80 series) because of knackered kingpin bearings and REALLY noisy CV joints. First side, CV didnt want to seperate from the drive shaft and mushroomed out the splines where the circlip holds it on. Had to hack the cage apart with a grinder and an air hammer, pop the balls out then grind through the inner spider in 3 places and split it with a cold chisel to get the thing off the shaft. THEN clean up the splines for the new CV to fit on. Second one the CV popped right off with the pipe trick, but then when we were putting it back together one of the studs for the kingpin bearings sheared off out of the knuckle. Lost an hr trying to find a replacement stud. So. Much.Grease. Would have gone through two dozen pairs of gloves each and we filled a 20L bucket with paper towels and rags from cleaning out CV's and steering knuckles. Burnt them all in the shed fire and got a 10" flue to glow red hot from firebox to shed roof! Hell of an improvement tho, he can turn under power without "CLACK CLACK CLACK" following him and the steering doesnt "Tip" out of the centre any more because the king pin bearings no longer have grooves hammered into them.

If I wanted to get drunk and watch a gang of dudes chase down one guy and whoop his rear end I would sit on my front porch. Gonna watch Fast and Furious 7 instead. Also the old man expressed interest in buying a Mercury Marauder again. He needs to get one.
