Quoted from MrBally:CT70H. H for hand clutch, not the pussy 3 speed clutchless version. My late dad actually licensed it and took it to work (old Detroit Police HQ at 1300 Beaubien) using surface streets and parked it inside with the cop cars. This was during the Arab oil embargo in 73 or 74.
The problem is the gears are backwards from other motorcycles. Down is a higher gear up is lower. I always go to shift up and about go over the handlebars.
Quoted from rotordave:So what would you say if I said a production Honda Civic could lap the Nurburgring faster than a Lambourgini, Zonda, and Ferrari?

I would say that also in the article it says....
"There are plenty of variables to consider, like the talent level of the driver, track and air temp on the day, and so on. Also note that many past test times were achieved from a standing start, instead of the current-day practice of rolling starts.
In the case of Honda's test (as previously discussed) the car was stripped of its rear seats and given a floating cage. "
I get what you're saying though 
. Technology keeps implroving, and this will keep happening.

I do. I ran it in mine after switching from a SAFC. I had many days making 3rd gear pulls on back roads.

When I smashed her into a concrete barrier (going 35 mind you), she was in flawless condition. I was running 24psi of boost on the stock SMIC and getting 35lbs/min of airflow. 
I miss that car. 
Quoted from MustangPaul:It's my Mustangs 47th Birthday today, I picked it up about 5pm that day. It's older then some of you guys.
That is awesome that you still have the 'stang after all these years.

Hey thanks. I'd love to have a new Mustang too like yours but no money and no garage space. Now that funny, 47 and 47. 
Just 3 more years and I'm gonna drive it to my 50th HS reunion...gonna FREAK people out. 
Quoted from pinmaniac:My Corvette Grand Sport which is currently for sale on ebay
One of my all-time favorite cars. That's a great looking example.
Since I wasn't seeing much Love for the great AMC I thought I would post a picture of my 1970 AMC Gremlin. Levi interior and to the dismay of most of the high $$$ cars at the show it wins most every time. It's parked next to my recently sold 1965 Mustang. Love that AMC, sad to see them all gone. So many memories for So many people I bet....Lol
Man that Gremlin is a jewel! I remember a lot of people had those when I was in high school in the early 80's. You never see one anymore, probably not many of them left I bet.

Straight six or v8? Cool car, my dad had a green one when i was a kid had a bad starter that every now and then it wouldnt work and he would have to get out and hit ot with a hammer and it would fire right up.

There was a dealership back in the day that was putting 401's in Gremlins. Talk about an X-package!
Thanks all for the love, the gremlin does draw attention. Always funny seeing a ring of people around my economy AMC at car shows while the 100k polished gems next to me just get a glance and walk by. They hate parking next to this car but as I remind them, Everyone has an old AMC story from back in the day good or bad. Not many have a fastback Mustang story from high school! It is a straight six that starts and runs better than my 2017. History of why it looks so good. This was actually a California movie lot car. Used in several movies and commercials. While he did't Drive it, I have a picture of Johnny Depp walking past my Gremlin in the Movie Blow! Pretty neat.

Sweet....My Dad had a blue/white V8 version in 74 I believe. My parents ran the gamut of AMC...First the v8 gremlin, which was totaled with my mom and sister driving....So then he bought a 76 Pacer. He didn't like it so he pawned it off mom and bought a 77 hornet station wagon, orange with wood paneling. Eventually that would also become Mom's car.
I'll never forget, summer of 82 when I turned 16. My parents previously had bought my 3 sisters (who were much older) each a car for their 16th bday. My oldest sister got a Corvair...cool car. My middle sister, a VW Bug...cool car. My youngest sister, a 1966 mustang convertible...the coolest. I come home and in the driveway is a 1974 Datsun 260Z. I'm all excited until I'm handed the keys to the 77 Orange Hornet...the 260z was for mom 
However, today, I look back fondly on that car. It was a tank, never left me stranded, plenty of room for the gang, and I put some big 12" tube speakers in the back and a PA horn on top tied to my CB radio, and I was living life large.
Quoted from Yelobird:Everyone has an old AMC story from back in the day good or bad
Soooo true, I almost bought a 70 AMX instead of my 70 Mustang.

I'm longing for someone to put me an LS3 like this in my P1800.

Randall AMC in Mesa, Arizona. Still by today's standards, a mildly fast 13.8 sec car after modifications. Only 20 of them were built over 3 years, so pretty rare...One was for sale on ebay recently, but apparently the asking price too high:

If you put that monster in I hope you stiffen the frame like all get out.
Quoted from Darcy:100%, plus the need to upgrade the brakes, and suspension. Yikes! looks front end heavy.
It makes for great dreamin'!
For anyone interested in what can be done with a P1800, this is a great string to watch.

OMG I had one of those when I was 17. I had to have a corvette though. I got a 84 corvette and sold the Z28. Been kicking my own ass for years.

Kinda looks like a 60's vintage Aston Martin with all the body mods.
Quoted from girloveswaffles:A stone bridge on the Oatman Hwy in AZ (original Rt. 66) where you REALLY want to obey the speed limit signs:
That's a cool road. Oatman is tourist trap to the max, but still great. the wild donkeys walking around town looking for handouts is hilarious.

The neat part was when I found the "Pet Cemetery" just north of Oatman:

Quoted from Fulltilt:On the topic of "finds".. what can be better than finding a great Drive-In in 2017. Complete with Car Hops. It's a fading art.
+1 to Debbie's Drive-In in Newport, TN. Make it a stop if you're off the beaten path in N. East TN.
I know you said "great" Drive-In, but there are still about 3,500 Sonic Drive-In' s open as of today.....
Quoted from MrBally:I know you said "great" Drive-In, but there are still about 3,500 Sonic Drive-In' s open as of today.....
LOL!! That's why I classified this one as great. REAL burgers, dogs, shakes and sundaes. Sonic is Sonic.
Any of us that remember the real Drive-Ins of the 50's, 60's and 70's knows the difference.
Quoted from Allibaster:I'm in the club. Just purchased a 2006 Porsche Cayman S with 35,000 miles
Awesome Car-I am stoked for you!
Quoted from Fulltilt:Decided to give my cars a nicer place to live
That came out great, I really like the black for the base color.
I'm curious to see how it turns out. My dad did something similar to his and it didn't last more than a few weeks before it started coming off under the tires.
What product did you choose?

Its all about the prepping of the concrete.
Quoted from fiberdude120:Its all about the prepping the concrete.
You can talk for days trying to prepare the floor for a new finish, but some concrete just doesn't listen.
Quoted from fiberdude120:Its all about the prepping of the concrete.
Thanks! I could have never done it myself. Unless you have new, unsealed concrete it takes a lot of prep.
I hired a local company that does nothing but floors. They spent 2-3 hours grinding down about 1/4" off the old concrete before starting on the epoxy. The final layer should go on tomorrow. So far I'm happy with the results.
Quoted from Fulltilt:Decided to give my cars a nicer place to live. Phase 1 on the floor started today. Hopefully finish up tomorrow.
I take it your not gonna be working on the car in the garage.

"SUPPOSED" to be impervious to most any fluids after the final coat. We'll see!
Quoted from Deaconblooze:We just added our 2nd and 3rd kids on Monday, so the RX8 is no longer going to work for the full family. Fate, though, stepped in and GM offered their 20% off deal on the 17 Chevy SS through the 13th. I'd been kicking it around for a while, but never thought that they would offer the 20% on the 17s since there was a limited ordering period, or at least not this early. I made the call from the hospital to put a deposit on this one. The manuals get snatched up really quickly, so I'm glad I was able to secure one before they're gone forever!
Nice SS. Love those RWD Holden's. I have two G8's. One is a GXP, hence CRWgxp. I'll have to post some pics.
