I recall many years ago seeing a video of a smart car that someone had swapped with a crotch rocket engine. It was quite fast IIRC.

Another one poped up on ESD with a 4AGE

How fast did the smart car go

The only time I went bracket racing (~25yrs ago), it was in a borrowed '82 Dodge D-250 with a 318 2V. 15.50 @ 55mph in the 1/8 mile. I bet the Smart is faster.

Gather round, one and all, and thrill to my turgid tales of underwhelming misadventure!
I took my car to the dealership for a recall, had the sun shade sitting in the passenger seat, and when I went to pick up the car they had parked in direct sunlight, without the shade.

I branded my palm on the shifter.

All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world, so there was only one thing I could do:
was ding a ding dang, my dang a long racecar.

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.

SA's own Carbohydrates has posted some great stuff in the Lego thread.

Carbohydrates posted:

I watch Jang exclusively. Haven't really found any others that are the magical trifecta of genuinely interesting + nice to listen to + not ridiculously self-promotional, but I haven't looked too hard, either. The LEGO fan community shines in blogs, not on Youtube IMO.

Also, a bunch of new parts coming out in new sets means I can do new things!

1. The K5 Blazer from the Stranger Things set 75810, but in dark turquoise.



2. New side mirrors for the '70 442 W30, thanks to that little 1 x 1 yellow dome piece. Far nicer and lower profile than the lever bases I was using before.



3. New C pillars on the Hoonicorn, thanks to that smooth cutout 45 degree slope being available in black now. More angular and sleek.



4.. My Chevy C10, but in Vibrant Coral. There are still very few basic pieces in this color, but I was just able to make this work.
