Posting here because it's probably not worthy of Smackdown (yet) but I'll take your opinions. It may be that I'm the ass here but I don't think so. Wouldn't be the first time... Kid from 1000 miles away decides he wants my car and has to get a loan. Whatever. I make it a point to tell him...

This year I rarely drove my Cobra - too busy w/ other stuff. So much so that I put it on the block twice. Today I took it for a 30 mile country road blast in 20 degree temps. Wow... I fell in love all over again. How could I ever think 20+K is more important in my bank account than this...

We went Xmas shopping today. This is what I came home with courtesy of the lovely Missus Eyes: It was a cool 60 mile drive (ride?) home but I'll get over it. :-D

I've placed an ad here before but pulled it after getting tired of dealing with people who had no intention or ability to buy. At this point I've decided to scratch an itch I've had for quite a while: I need a 996TT. There's no garage space for both so the Cobra has got to go. 33.2K miles...

Prices on 996TTs are in the tank and for no good reason I can see. I realize it'll need more care than most cars but at today's prices, a guy can get a low mile example for mid-40s. It's not like it'd be a daily driver, either. Anybody here have driving and/or ownership experience with one...

Early this morning, on my way to Seattle, I was the first person to this. After first calling 911 I went to check the occupants - another guy had stopped while I was on the call and was at the rollover when I got there. If you read the article you know what happened and how it ended. What...

33K miles. Made 562/566 @ 17lbs after vacuum line leak resolved. The dyno guy told me had the car not spun near the peak the numbers may well have been higher - drag radials will be my next addition should I keep it. I'm pretty sure I'm the 4th owner and nearly as sure the previous one, like...

Black, 6-speed, 20-ish K miles, stock. I've already got a 600+ whp Terminator but the purpose for the Z is as a long distance commuter. I originally bought a '14 WRX but I hated that thing so I let it go cheap to some kid. I've had a C6Z and one thing I really liked about it was the highway...

Just got some garage room for a new toy. I don't want to spend a lot but this and this have my attention. I think both are overpriced and I need some more info on the first one which I'll get Monday when I see/drive it. The second I deal with tomorrow. Opinions? (on these two only, please)

Pyle was a goddamn stud - loved his veteran moves. MacDonald made Maia look old (when he wasn't on the ground). Impressive. Cormier vs Cummings next. Can't wait!

The seller of an advertised 600+ (@ 19 lbs boost) Kenne Bell'd Cobra is now telling me the 435 whp (@ 12 lbs max) I'm seeing may be due to a change he made to the alternator (smaller pulley) after the 6xx pull he gave me papers for. This makes sense to me only if there's belt slip - there are...

Bigfoot vs. Mark Hunt. I've never seen anything like this... I could describe what I've just seen but if you're a fan you really need to find a replay of this.

Too lazy to find the article but our own LMURTHA, who was a teammate of both, has an interesting take on this. Edit: Okay, fine - here it is. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/former-dolphins-lineman-lydon-murtha-explains-jonathan-martin-165157389--nfl.html

A few months back I started a thread saying I needed a car to commute 270 miles, each way, each week. In the middle is a mountain pass that gets plenty of snow for a couple of months/year. I was asking about ideas for a rig that would be: - reasonably priced (~30K) - decent to good...

I don't know how good they're gonna be but, with the new no-huddle offense, they're sure fun to watch. Oh, and they're ****ing DISMANTLING Boise State. LOVE IT! On an unrelated note, props to my alma mater (Eastern WA) for nailing Top-25 Oregon State (in Corvallis). Beautiful!

I have an '03 Cobra with 2.2 Kenne Bell and supporting mods. The car was sold to me with a dyno sheet stating 600+/high 500+. I flew to the seller and drove it 2500 miles home. From the first time I hit the gas hard I questioned the above. Two days ago I had it on a Mustang dyno that...

I recently discovered I need a rig I can take 600 miles, weekly, across a mountain pass. I want it to be fun but fuel-efficient. I decided upon a WRX given the 26K base model price. I know I could probably manage with any number of FWD cars but I don't EVER want to deal with chains...

I was on Craigslist and saw a bike I really wanted. I called and made an offer. They called back and countered. A few hours later I called and accepted giving them my debit card so they could take a deposit. I get a call, at least an hour later, from the salesman saying he had bad news. The...

My kid, who's completely on his own financially, wants to get a student loan so he can continue college. History ------- Same kid has tried college a couple of times before only to quit for any number of reasons immature kids do. In the process, money I gave him to do so got flushed...

A friend of mine is up for the Medal of Honor. In my (and many others) opinion, this is way overdue. The fact that what he did occurred during the Vietnam war is probably the sticking point. I've posted links of his actions here before but this time I'm asking for your help. Please, if after...

I bought this but I'm not into drag racing. I'm not into road racing either but I think I would rather have this car set up to go around a track rather than down one. Based on the mods it has, what do I need to do to make this into what I want it to be?

My wife deserved a toy so we went out Saturday and got her an MB E350 Convertible. I'd have much rather gone with the 550 but price, dealer availability and her requirements said otherwise. I expected to be completely underwhelmed. In fact, I didn't bother to be part of the test drive. Her...

As a lifelong golf fanatic, I always wanted to tee it up with someone who'd been there, at the highest level. The past few days I got to do just that. The guy was a stud in the late 70's, early 80's. Won a few times on tour during his 22 years there. He still has plenty of game, even at...

I bought a car advertised here. Flew to get it, drove it home. From the first time I hit the throttle hard I questioned the stated 633 whp. The last Terminator I had made 570-ish and seemed stronger though time, the Z06 I had and the 650 hp Benz I have now may have dulled the memory. Anyway...

I'm selling a very nice '05 Toyota Avalon - Mom passed and it ended up in my lap. I've had it on CL and gotten a fair amount of responses including the requisite dreamers, hopefuls, etc. The other day I get a guy who tells a great story and seems legit. As I was busy driving the Cobra I...
