People with blue LED headlights are the worst of the worst.
I want a 1927 Auburn!

LED

?

Guess I'm cool!

Also they're really not that blue in person.

agh it's been almost two weeks that I've been without my car. It's driving me crazy. Tomorrow (the two week anniversary of losing it to a screw in the road) I'll be getting new tires and an alignment though, so I'm going to go for a very long drive afterwards. I'm giddy to play with the new suspension system, engine monitoring equipment, and my new car-mounted GoPro.

[Caution]

Can I have it.

How much power is the v6 making?

only about 105 brand new I iirc.  Definitely dropped a little with age.

Found out that the car is a complete piece of stuff not worth restoring, though, so it's a no go.

I took a couple of videos while I was loving around today. I'll upload one when I go to bed and post it tomorrow morning.

v8 motorcycles are batstuff insane. I'm just waiting for somebody to try and mount a v12 or something.

So, that vid, I uploaded the raw file so it's kind of uncut and could be boring. The entire thing is pretty much me weaving though, and at one point I have to correct an accidental drift.

I'm so done letting other people drive my car. People are such loving handicaps. You're driving a lowered sports car at 50 mph and you see a sign on the side of the road that says "dip". What do you do? Apparently the correct answer is maintain speed and hope that god magically floats you across the loving dip in the road, because that sure as hell seems to be the general consensus. What really ends up happening is you hit the road with the face of the car and get this horrific smash/scrape noise as you remove the loving paint from the underside of my bumper. Obviously your next move is to comfort the owner of the car by claiming, "you're going to scrape anyway." So loving respectful to other people's property. Why not continue to drive like a handicap after the first few times this happens, taking uneven road corners at ridiculous speeds after being told multiple times not to do that by the owner of the car you're driving. Once again, so much respect.

I would've stopped letting them drive it the first time

Personally I wouldn't let anyone drive my car if I had one like yours. Tell them they can sit in the driver seat for a few minutes but when it's your baby you gotta protect it.  Hope you can get it fixed.
