I guess the hippies will finally have to accept Nuclear Energy. Or invest in bong powered generators.

It looks like a Smart car after being sectioned channeled chopped and Hot Rodded. Like a what if the smart car was in the hands of some teenage Hot Rodders in the 50's...I wonder what it'd do at the lakes?

Why a Ford Focus? I can understand trying to make a statement by being a rich guy who drives a crappy car. But why not a BMW or something. A focus is a crappy car for normal people!

All you dorks realize that this is the RS right? Maybe the interior will get a little more eye candy and "softer looking" materials. I wouldn't bet on any less plastic though as most interiors are plastic these days.
For and RS this thing looks dang good. The interior fit and finish looks great! Keeping in mind this is the RS model I really like the interior. Needs some more contrast. Maybe Aluminum pedal covers and some bright trim across the dash to break up all the gray.
I thought this thing was pretty ugly but these photos change my mind. I like the red it looks great on the car and I hate red.

I think they are selling radiators. Either that or engine blocks cause when your leaking stuff like that either one is busted.

I forgot to add that this thing rules. I appreciate the effort to stick to a theme. I hate it when gassers have some out of place billet part or something to ruin the look.

FrankGrimes commented on Gasser Taunus!

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:46:25 EDT

What the heck is a Taunus? For some reason it makes me think of Anus.
It looks a lot like a Nomad with a '57 Ford front end.

FrankGrimes commented on Roush Announces New Supercharger for Mustang GT, 700 HP For Five Grand!

[www.roushperformance.com]

Here is a link to the kit on the Roush website. I found this interesting...

"This kit also includes a ROUSH®-assembled short block with forged components such as a steel eight-bolt crankshaft, aluminum flywheel, aluminum pistons with increased dish to lower the compression from 9:8 to 8:6, and steel H-Beam connecting rods."

I don't understand you get a new motor and a Super Charger kit for $5,899. That seems really cheap.

FrankGrimes commented on Walmart's Botched Oil Change Destroys Your Engine

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 16:30:17 EDT

Why don't all of you people change your own oil? There are countless stories of this happening to people. It takes like 45minutes to do it. Yes you might get a little dirty but take responsibility for doing some of your own maintenance and you have the assurance it is done right.

Get yourself some latex gloves crawl under the car loosen a bolt drain the oil into and old milk jug.
Remove the oil filter put new oil in new filter.
Screw back on.
Put oil drain plug back in.
Put new oil in the oil fill.
Don't forget to put the cap back on.
Drop off used oil at Kragen,Autozone NAPA etc. to be recycled for free.
What is so hard about that?

FrankGrimes commented on 2009 Nissan Maxima Pricing Announced

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:38:38 EDT

They have this thing in Motor Trend up against a G8 GT! The Pontiac won, but the Maxi only had 18" all season tires instead of the better available 19" performance tires. It still would have lost but the Maxi is pretty nice looking. The maxi won on fuel mileage interior quality and I think that was about it.
The G8 out did it on every performance test they did braking,acceleration,G-meter, and was even $2k cheaper and has a better warranty.

They said the Maxi engineers used the Porsche GT3 as their chassis target! weird.

Why don't they just take out all the crap that isnt cars. I could personally do without the plastic tote bags and boring brochures. Does the honda concept that will be the new civic need a huge spinning platform with fireworks and people riding elephants?
