Angling up on the inside to add downforce, angling down on the outside for the car to bounce off of instead of going over...I like it.

Okay so there is a weird little lot about 20 minutes from my house. It's a little corner lot in burbank california, doesn't really seem like there's a shop or anything attached to it, looks like it might be storage, and it's full of porsches. There's some basic stuff, 70's and 80's 911's in various states of disrepair; growing up on long island this isn't something too shocking, LI has tons of weird lots full of really cool old cars rusting away. There's a few cars there though that give me pause when I drive by. The first is a goddamn 959, which is basically my second favorite car ever. I'm assuming it's a replica because it's not in very good shape at all, but better than the rest of the cars there. The second made me almost crash into a light post. My number one favorite car ever (tied with like 5 others), a loving 904. Again, I'm assuming it's a replica, it's definitely not in good shape at all. If this were long island, I'd assume it's just a replica shell rotting away, but in this neighborhood it's definitely possible that it's the real deal. I'm going to go back this weekend and take some pictures, as sad as they may be, with these amazing cars just sitting there.

That looks like the same color as the Parnelli Jones Saleen from a few years ago.  e- also yes, the 302 badge on the fender is accurate, the engines in them are a stroked 4.6L. They only made 500, and I've driven about 6 of them. Parnelli autographed the dash in all 500. Seizure Meat fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Nov 10, 2012 |

A friend's LLY Duramax that I've been doing some tuning on stopped by Danville performance to use the dyno. They also built the turbo that's on it: 610 HP/1183 Tq. And it's still calling for more fuel than I can feed it up at the top. Already put a lift pump in it that sounds like a commercial water pump. Not enough. A fuel pump upgrade is going to be happening real soon now. I love these Duramaxes.

This just showed up on my Facebook feed: Unfortunately no back story yet other than it's one of my uni's old Formula Student cars. I'm thinking of putting it up on the workshop wall.

Posting some Falcons huh? Here is the other option if you want something with a smaller engine and a tray so you can carry stuff. My friends XR6 turbo ute - Currently putting down 631HP at the wheels on 98 pump gas.  Of coarse being Australia it was used as a wedding car with the traditional burnouts.

Just came across this in our neighborhood... click for big.  I think it's a manufacturer car - no badges, had some weird stick-on lettering in the windshield. But it's really stunning in person.
