Not too far off hehe. Yeah it's really well done so it's kinda cool. I think Lada Nivas are drat cool anyway, so might be swayed by that.

I mean, you can see everything going on in the driver's side mirror. If you aren't lined up correctly, pull forward and try again.

I want to read more about the weirdo dry-rot fetishist that created this mess of amazing cars. Does anyone know if it has been discussed anywhere or had any news stories on this collection?

It even has a mechanism so you can wheelstand it.

That's pretty pro. The mechanism even works the same way the stunt car's did.

Most of the videos of boat launches that I've seen end with the truck joining the boat in the water.

I mean that's how i backed little trailers up in military trucks but my skills don't exactly rate for seaworthiness.

It just seems reasonable that the boat could also catch a little wave and drift past the mooring...

Yeah it do exist, Mitsuoka are the company that makes bizarre body conversions for otherwise normal cars. The Le Syde is my favourite because it's terrible in every way and also ruins an S13.

They make adorable little micro cars too.

Oh I'm not disputing that they're a real thing, just that those particular images look like renders to me. The lighting and shadows look off. I'm certainly no expert though.

Here's a thing. Abandoned house in Ontario.

It does, but there is zero chance it could happen in the US, at least, not like that. There was way too much for idiots to run into and off-track and potentially sue for damages over. Unless you treated it like an actual driver's event, where you absolve the facility of all responsibility.

Best are the mobile smokers, especially when you get behind one that’s smoking in transit in traffic. Smells so much better than exhaust.

LOL - I'd seen various fruity smell additives for 2-strokes, but that's new to me.

I ran across this on Grassroots Motorsports:


Please note the warning light in the lower left. :D

This is in a Volvo 940 with a "Try-power" carbureted 1UZ.

That dizzy is driven by socket extensions.

That's a button isn't it? I assume it's some kind of kill switch.

Definitely a button, apparently the starter button!

Also, is that square on the right an LED array? It sure looks like the inside of lightbulbs. A shift light, maybe? Edit: Yep, the link has the back of the board, that's definitely an LED array, and the thing on the left has too many wires to be a light.

You know what, I think you're right. It's either that or a nitrous trigger.
