i just saw the saddest thing...

an old dude in a nice s2 or s3 rx-7. probably bought the thing new during his midlife crisis...turns a corner at a snails pace and proceeds to "accelerate" all the way up to a 25mph top speed, while leaving his right blinker on, in a 40mph zone...

poor rx-7.

I guess the big deal is that he's lugging the motor... especially 12A cars, the gearing is so low that they don't like to go less than 30.

I guess that's my official excuse for the S4 tranny core. No, it's the EFI. No it's the spiffy muffler. Um, maybe I built a cheater tranny for an S4 with the leftover parts (that is for sale BTW)...

It's like seeing the old guy/gal holding up 23 cars in traffic in a freaking corvette. Drive the car grandpa or buy a towncar and let it drive you.

... not that there's anything wrong with being a grandpa, but I can easily see myself 70 years old with a ponytail still driving it like I stole it.
