I dunno how I missed this, slow is fast even told me such a thread existed. Hopefully I have my awesome failure of a car ready by this so I can drive it down there. All it needs is a new rear end and fix the rust holes that are big enough to put my head through.. kastein's place sounds awesome, it should be held there!

kastein posted:For those wanting to take the rocks/dirt/big dumb truck route into Southbridge for this, I just ran it in 2WD in my MJ at around 20mph. It hurt, a lot, but it was a blast... and I'm 100% certain that almost any stock 4wd vehicle or tallish/awesome 2wd pickup will make it through. I'm rebuilding the old GL! So maybe I'll take the challenge

Muffinpox posted:I'm kind of interested in this but I don't really want to pay $159 for someone else to drive me around in a road car. I wonder if you get to take the wheel and how long it lasts Groupon stadium supercar ride deal In that link it says quote:The three-lap driving experience puts drivers behind the wheel of one of four luxury vehicles: an Audi R8, Ferrari, Lamborghini or Mercedes SLS Gullwing. Rides take place on June 15, 16,17, 22, 23, and 24. So it sounds like you get to drive.

Throw em on, proceed to soak yourself in transmission fluid, grease, dirt, 100 year old engine oil etc and take em off when you're done. I do that in whatever cloths I'm currently wearing. Then get yelled at by my GF for ruining perfectly good cloths. In her defense, she probably has a point. I just don't give a gently caress.

So I need some 2.5 SOHC love too haha.I'm still quite certain I could make a 2.5 SOHC work in the older DOHC cars.

ChrisGT and I are on our way to southbridge. It didn't help that a blurted out "It's saturday morning, this is perfectly acceptable." That was a loving blast!

We'll start with this gem.  About as white trash as you can get, and it's awesome. Here's some thermite..   That is (was) a subaru ej22 that seized due to oil starvation. It has around 350k miles on it. I should also note the reason the bell housing is missing. And cyl #3 is a bit chewed up. The engine seized connected to a loving automatic transmission. So I had to chop off the bell housing to get the torque converter bolts out. We also had fun with the Oxy FUCKINGACETYLENE. Since subaru engines suck, the easiest way to remove the pistons is by torching the rods in half.    Since I haven't (yet) taken a picture of the thermite hole piston on it's own, you'll see it later with the quiet fireworks.  Here's a piece of melted engine block.   Oil pump after you fish it out of the firepit the next day.  Timing gear was stuck, so we cut it in half. Here you can see some great things all in one picture. Thermite hole piston Quiet fireworks and I loving HATE THIS PROJECT (alternately called Deck Beam)   What happens to a weed eater motor when you run it on acetylene. Poor fucker was tough. I hope someone posts videos. I was one of the whackos leaning over the engine making it run. chrisgt fucked around with this message at 21:15 on May 13, 2012 |

Deeters posted:New York is close enough to New England, right? There's a road rally in Mt Kisco next weekend. I've done ones that this club has put on before, and they've been pretty fun, especially when my friend put his truck in a ditch trying to turn around. NY goes by all the NE states, though if you live in Maine nothing is close... It's a good 6 hour drive from me. Although, it does look pretty cool.

Owning a car with a sunroof... It's not that easy. The sunroof doesn't extend over the driver's seat, it's actually quite awkward to drive with your head out the sunroof. Not that it stops me.

kimbo305 posted:Which RMV sites offer driving tests, and what routes do they take? I'm teaching my friend how to drive and he's a slow learner. He'd probably melt if he had to take the test starting from Chinatown. Usually depending on where you live, they'll assign you to a specific one to take the test from. So I'd figure out where he's zoned to take the test, they may give you some info on where their test route is. But likely not. When I was teaching my sister to drive, we drove out to the dmv where she was gonna have to take the test from. Went through all the intersections around the dmv, practiced going in and out of the dmv parking lot, and parking in the parking spaces right there. They do give you a list of all the stuff they make you do. Like left turns, parallel parking, backing straight up along a curb, all that stuff. Most of which nobody who drives a car can actually do...
