Should have just kept it. Finders keepers.

 

A picture of something other than a kitten:




While not Pebble Beach, this Ghia appears to be OG and fairly straight. In particular, it has a completely un-crunched nose, which is increasingly rare. I'd not be baller enough to daily-drive this thing in the city.

 

 

 

As an engineering manager, I have threatened to do exactly that on multiple occasions, and actually did it once.

The threats were not against my employer, they were against my staff. Think: "If you guys don't get this ******* mess straightened up, labeled, and documented, I am going to come in here at 2am on a Sunday and just make it go away."

I'll admit that the one time I actually followed through on that threat, I did make sure that nothing attached to the video router in question was actually going to take us off the air. But I did in fact cut every cable attached to it (except the power cables, which I unplugged and then threw in the trash), after which I removed the router from the rack, placed it on the floor, and beat the absolute hell out of it with a 5 lb hammer.

In accordance with my own policy, I then dutifully went down to the maintenance shop, got a red tag out of the drawer, wrote "Non Functional" on it with a Sharpie (signed and dated), attached it to the front of the router, and made an entry into the maintenance database indicating that the machine had failed and was determined to be non-repairable.

Funny ****:
Damn it... I can't get it to start at the right time. Fast forward to 9:00 for the show.

 

 

 

I watched this and started yelling at my screen when he started choosing modifications.



Spoiler alert: He makes a multitude of poor choices and still ends up slower than the Porsche. Should have chosen more wisely...

 

He must have only had access to parts catalogs from 1992...

 

He says turbos are better and faster but I want one of the world's worst choices instead charger.

Then he chooses stance drift shocks subjecting the test driver to a massive oversteer condition as evidenced in the video.

And he installs incredibly shitty brake pads and spends the extra money on worthless dimpled and slotted rotors. If he had bought the cheap rotors he could have got good pads and maybe put some money towards a decent front sway bar.

I'm not mad at the ECU choice. At least he got a megasquirt and and not some bag of dicks 221.

EBay knock-off RX-8 550's, oh boy.

 

you are just both just jealous of his red (maroon?) pants...

 

 

Sounds like he called his shot...
