Less than $200 for the Porsche and over a grand for the Nissan. That is awesome.

I also got my motorcycle learners permit so I can now ride my motorcycle which I do not have.

I took this pic a week or two ago but forgot to post it. It's an interesting insight to my insurance bill, lmao.

i'm not getting the premium rates at all unless your veh3 is registered to like a new male driver

That's his car....he's a teen with a sports car, which insurance companies charge a lot for.

What do you use?  I don't think it's worth it since it's in such bad shape in terms of rust, but my dad's 25 year old Mustang is rusted through in several areas.

right now i just weld thins sheets of galvanized steel and undercoat them since there's still a lot of good metal left in the floors
most of the holes are small as or smaller than a quarter

also PSA don't weld while wearing a short sleeve shirt

look at dat patch

I drove my dad's 911 alone for the first time yesterday. It handles like a DREAM. It's incredibly responsive and when you put your foot down, the car HAULS. It's only got like 15lb-ft more torque than my car, but it feels like you're in a rocket ship when the pedal goes down. The suspension is cushy, but very good. It'll corner absurdly fast and feel like you're in a Rolls at the same time.

Also, the future is adaptive headlights. Holy stuff, I never knew what I was missing out on until I could actually loving see the road when I was going around a tight bend. It's such a simple concept, but it works FANTASTICALLY.

Headlights have been moving with the tire angle since the 1970s or earlier, depending on the car of course. I know the Citroen DS had them.

@e-maxx welding would seem like a plausible road to go for my dad's car, especially with sanding and gloss. Only thing is.....we don't have any of that. I think he may even be getting something besides a Mustang next. He's checking on putting his customized V8 and other drivetrain parts into a Miata, which would sound like you're about to be jumped by a tiny hell lol. Also considering a 90s BMW 3-series and other Mustang foxbody types besides LX.

I did an oil change on one of those weird Volkswagen Passat CCs the other day and it had those, they're really weird but very cool.

brush guard on a 2002 sport trac or nah?

[Caution]

What color is the truck? Would you go chrome or painted?
