how 'bout them wooden axles?

HAR HAR !!

have we lost our focus?

or our fiesta?

they're different. they're impractical. they're no longer made.

they make some people angry.

that's all i need from a car !

what's the downside of alternate energy? why NOT start NOW ? don't throw that migrating bird b.s. around: put turbines up NOW and start moving away from the "dinosaur" that is oil. at least, get our homes off oil so there's more for jetskiing and important things.

but i would accept an electric jetski too...

i LOVE me some internal combustion, but it's a dirty process from well before the point that my tiger's in the tank.

alternate energy NOW ! why now? because we can....in theory.

it's also why NOT to drill.

time, time, time, see what you've done to me?

at least, that's the impression i got...

mmmm, hat....arglgrrrbrrlllll

that having been said, i greatly enjoy team america but nearly loathe south park. go figger. odd species.

btw, where's THAT retro rip-off movie? Wil Ferrel,
6 BBBBillion dollar man role is calling.

betcha a nickel !

cuz 700 hp and 220 mp G is just silly.

are we sure?

they didn't sell any, but they built at least one.

I hoped God's own rings are on that piston. "

Bumblebee: gas, air, and most importantly in a 2 stroke: OIL !
that way, they can use the rings of a disciple instead.

i think we like stories that we can get indignant over, without having to actually be afraid or threatened.

humans love a "look how stupid everybody but me is" story.

that can't be easy with a honda !

somewhat.

i've been thinking of upgrading to plumbing insulation: kinda like what you put to cushion a rollbar.

but that adds weight and would likely adversely affect my aero package, so...

sundaysunday: re: "Action figure and StuntCycle sold separately" you're on the right track. will you write my epitaph please? better make it quick !

simplicity and lack of non-functional adornments is an aesthetic. one of the more elusive, and beautiful really.

forgot to attach a brief video link of The Tinman gettin' it done:

thanks a lot for all the kind words fellow Jalops !

makes a person think "Econo-what?" "Ram huh?"

i want one SO bad for transporting my drag bike and camping.
several companies also make RV's based on them.

and dudes, saying you can't drive the "dragon" in one of these is like saying old MG's aren't sports cars.
everything is relative, and ANYTHING can be enjoyable for exploring limits.

going beyond those limits is even more fun, but can get expensive.

needed a way to get my bike to the drags. contemplated cutting the Civico up and making a trailer, and then i realized: why? it can be it's own self-propelled trailer, or "truck" as they're called.

number six: the bike is The Tinman. Alaska state champion drag bike last year, and the world's only wet nitrous Honda 919, and the world's quickest honda 919.

they let me take El Civico down the track one day after a brief shower to help dry the track. 216,000miles on car, original clutch, and it was 1/100 second quicker than a new mini. effin sweet...

oh , and it would prevent corrosion by leaking oil all over it within a few thousand miles.

owning a honda is about more than screaming "look at me" at the top of your yuppie scum lungs.

it's a chance to improve your life.

take it.

in another scenario, what if a sober driver gets killed by a drunk driver and it's the sober guy's fault? is it "justice" to ALWAYS prosecute the drinker, even when he's faultless?

and no, i've never gotten a dui or even come close.

well, .07 isn't SO close, right?

no, that picture isn't the car from our recent episode

and they got it wrong: it was 6 people, not 5

extra weight!?
simplicate! add lightness!

i don't think my stretched bike would fit in a 1977. besides, a 1999 was what i had on hand.

Viva el Civico inDEED ! can't wait till next summer to try the cops' tolerance again.
