I've always been envious of people who are this mechanically inclined--especially in this age of all the computer crap.

Take away the electronics and a gas or diesel engine hasn't changed much in a hundred years. Still nuts and bolts.

Amazing how those electric cars have failed for so long.

Early electric cars were marketed to women because they were way cleaner to operate than gas ones were. Todays electric cars are still kind of femmy.

I don’t really like most sleeper cars.
They weren’t meant to go that speed, even boosted bmws start to lose control at the top speeds. Something like a Bugatti looks like it’s still cruising at 30 mph going almost 200, the other ones are clearly on the edge of losing control and most likely killing the driver.

if they have a very cool body kit im in favor of that, but that costs alot of money doesnt it. dont think its worth it.
I don’t really mind how the cars looks. If I did something like this I’d want to snag a cheap C8 or 4C, something with a mid engine and rear wheel drive.

i think most cars these days look wack because of hte small headlights. yea thats probably most ideal set up for fun. my next car when i leave canada gotta have a handbrake for snow drifts.

my experience having a convertible is much better than having hp.

is there a reliable convertible? mazda miata although its girly looking its sporty, or older toyota solaras but you will take a hit on fuel economy because they are old and not sure how sporty they handle.
