I admit that I looked longingly at that toolbox - which is definitely in contravention of the International Bro Code of 1982. Sorry for having impure thoughts about your 'box, man.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

I was helping my pop out with his microscope rig; as a test, I took a photo of the RFID pill inside the 996 key fob...thought y'all might think it was interesting.

Converting the 996 from internal combustion to Tesla magnetron hoverpropulsion. Hope the flux capacitor is up to the task...

Redo that pic on cinder blocks and make that the site's banner and we'll be swarmed with 928 owners in an hour. :twisted:

Did somebody say cinder block and 928?


BTW, that's not the correct wing for your Mk 1, did you know?

Gotta admit though, it does look kinda cool like that. Close up the wheel wells and it's be a good candidate for a James Bond car-sub prop. Much better than that Lotus was anyway.
