Did the hellaflush thread go to the gaschamber eventually? Can swear there was one around a few months ago, voted one and moved on when I looked through the hellaflush thread.

I assume it just died due to inactivity since there are like 7 people here who like that stuff. Sort of like the toy car thread I like :P

The toy car thread has slid back to page 3, but people are still contributing from time to time. It makes me happy that you like it.
I mostly lurk on SA, but I get so much enjoyment out of the forums that every once in a while I try to give back and contribute, hence the toy car thread.
Welp, back to not posting for 6 months.

I saw this outside of a Pier 1 Imports. I'm torn; It's a PT Cruiser, but it's probably one of the better things to do with it. The flat black kind of covers the weird bubbly lines.

I finally decided to upgrade my 7 year old Motorola Razr to a 5 year old Blackberry, and I was testing out the phone camera.

That probably is a 5.0 exploder. The badge obviously isn't stock, but it's not like it's wrongly describing what the vehicle is.

The glory of a custom built rotary engine that is about as large as materials science allows.

Now go buy an RX-8 and enjoy the experience, and become part of the cult of the rotor head.

Main reason why I keep my rx4 shell. it's a bit big and heavy for a 2 rotor, but maybe one day a 3 rotor will be cheap.
Or maybe mad people like these guys will sell NA 4 rotors cheap.

Now i know how it feels to have your baby show up in this thread. The 4.2's and 5.3's are pretty common and I see them all over the place in Michigan. Mine is at least the 6.0 LS2 powered "Aero" and there were only about 500 of them ever built, I've never seen one other than my own.
