I’ve never seen too much about the race track that was where Hartsfield Jackson International Airport is in Atlanta either. Kind of a cool bit of history.
I would run down to the nearest train tracks and see if I could find a CSX heavy-duty pickup with retractable rails. It might be a longshot, but when the roads are clogged with traffic and looters, that’s the last place I want to be stuck. I could drive on the rail OR along the railbeds on the gravel. Or the roads.

We’ll I’ll just take my $60K+ elsewhere! Just kidding, I’m poor. Read more
Thanks for introducing the world to DGJ all those years ago, Mike. We’d have been far worse off without him. Read more
Jeez from the way Mercedes seems to pretend the SLK/SLC doesn’t exist I’d be shocked if they made another one at all. Read more
it’s interesting that the Infiniti Q50/Q60 (JDM Skyline) that shares a similar platform has been upgraded from the same engine that powers the 370 (VQ37VHR) to the Vr30DDTT. Read more

Driving a car from showroom new to 1 million miles in a (relatively) short period of time is a feat of driving. That’s a person who did an amazing, physical, challenge. All they had to do was maintain the car according to spec (starting with a perfect example, mind you), and just, drive a lot. Read more
Quite the deep dive! Where are you sourcing the part drawings?
Unfortunately, I think the real hurdle to overcome is not mechanical or electrical, as you conclude. It is financial. Not only from a production standpoint, but from a certification standpoint. Certifying a car for FMVSS, EPA, and NHTSA compliance… Read more
Well done my man! Read more
Internal combustion is going to go away. We should enjoy the hell out of manual transmissions while they’re still around. Read more
I see bmw is still using the exact same setup for shift linkages they have been using for years. That linkage is identical to the one in the e39 M5 I changed. Also very similar to an e36. The dual bushings on the upper rod connecting to the transmission was an improvement. Read more
You’d also have to acquire the center console from a European 4 cylinder Z4. The layout is completely different since the iDrive controller and buttons have to be moved to make room for the shifter. Read more
