Some of us watch racing for the racing, not the crashes... that said, rallycar is insane and a blast to watch. As my wife was describing it yesterday: "Look, they're on their hood again, whoop, they're driving on 3 flat tires, and 6 cars in a row have missed the turn!"
I am the Doctor, and THIS... is my SPOON!

Put a new lift kit on my Jeep over the weekend. I had a bent rear control arm and it was almost as cheap to buy a new lift kit as it was to buy just one set of heavy duty, adjustable control arms. An extra inch of clearance will be nice for the trails this year too.
Your probably thinking this doesn't fit here but for me it does, My Jeep is already my Dream car. I'm just lucky enough to already own it. I know, low expectations for dreams but life is more satisfying that way.

You're going to have to break it in by playing "Real Good Looking Boy" from my Axiom Mix while cruising the neighborhoods in your short shorts and tank top.

Ha ha. Ya, it's a bit redneck, but I've tried to keep it at a happy medium between daily street driver and capable trail vehicle. When I go to organized trail runs, I'm actually still the 'little guy'.

I missed this thread initially...an my #1 fav is the 427 A/C Cobra. There's a kit factory in a city next door and lots and lots of them around. The guy in my neighborhood with one drives it around a lot and for some reason he always has a goofy grin??  I got to drive my favorite dream car a couple years back but unfortunately, after driving it, it was no longer my favorite. It was an excellent car and I got to drive it on an excellent road (The road to Whistler) but I guess I'm more of a American Muscle guy. I'm in the drivers seat with the goofy grin this time.  Another I've always loved,  The one I would get if I won the lottery,  The one I almost bought for my first car, the one I've been bugging the wife to let me get, the one I regret not buying when I was single, the one I will eventually get, the one I never get sick of...of course these rims are ugly.  Plain, clean, small, good power, sound good and fun to drive. Well, I finally broke down and got one of the cars off my list above. After careful deliberation though I decided not to go with a late 80's early 90's and went with a 2006 for the creature comforts and extra power  I've only had it a week and love it, this is why I haven't been on the boards the last week. I can't believe I waited this long but it was worth it. I need to get some better pics but these will do for now. The previous car left it's mark on the drive way...grr Summer Rims & Tires  Winter Rims & Tires  I'm thinking of selling the Summer Rims & Tires to use the Bullitts instead as they're gorgeous! Only 6 months or so until I can drop the top....I can wait....sigh

LOVE it, Graeme! But why wait so long to drop the top? I've been enjoying my convertible so much lately that I feel like I should have bought one twenty years ago. If it's not actually raining, the top is down. Enjoy!

Very good, Graeme; enjoy.
So then, Tom, that's about one day a month?
