TROPHY CASE

What is your favorite uncommon car that everyone seems have to forgotten about? For me it's the... by iEatDemocratsin Autos

[–]frink84 1 point2 points ago

mine would be the 84-85 Ford LTD LX. Basically a four-door fox Mustang. Developed by Bob Bondurant. This particular example, owned by a friend of mine, has the typical fox mustang upgrades, but the body is stock. I owned one for a few years. Great car, AWESOME sleeper. And basically 100% of the fox mustang aftermarket bolts on.

agreed that the e31 is under appreciated, but i would take an 840i with the 4.4 v8 and a 6-speed over the 850csi any day.

i talked with someone who worked at an Art of Shaving. they are apparently owned by Proctor & Gamble or one of the other industry giants, so they have to push cartridge razors per the company line. however, they will be quite happy to talk about proper safety razor/straight razor/wetshaving and sell actual safety razor/straight razor/wetshaving items in addition to the cartridge junk.

That moment when you are standing in the rain just to listen to a car idle... Picked this up a day ago. My first Mustang. It's rough, but it won't be for long! by drolsonatorin Mustang

[–]frink84 1 point2 points ago

oh, also, check out foureyedpride.com for all your 4-eye fox needs. the forum is a bit excentric, but has a lot of good tech and whatnot.

looks like the stock wing, i think the bumper of the car behind it makes it appear to be a SVO wing.

congrats, first year of the EFI 5.0! my mom has a black 86 GT. first mods should be subframe connectors, gears, then BRAKES. the 87+ brakes are a bolt-on upgrade, but still not nearly as good as converting to 5-lug 4-wheel discs.

Earlier today, this was front page news on foxnews.com. Wasn't the complaint earlier that there weren't enough options for girls in Lego toys? by m0d3r4t3m4thin lego

[–]frink84 3 points4 points ago

on most lego boxes, you would be hard pressed to find an actual person. usually they are just shots of the sets. some of the "random brick" buckets have kids, but it is usually a boy and a girl. but even then, people on the box = rare

This is my favorite car in the world bar none (it's a V12!) by eilerj2in cars

[–]frink84 1 point2 points ago

740i with the 4.4 v8 and a 6-speed. no other way to do it, really. the v12 is a maintenance nightmare as acceptablelosses stated.

BMW fans, what do you think of the current BMW design, and what direction would you like it to go in the future? by audifanin BMW

[–]frink84 0 points1 point ago

the production f30 mucked it up even more: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6219/6243834285_f1929d7d4b.jpg

the headlights connect to the grill in a strange manner, the "toothless grin", and the hood line. ugh.

maybe it is just me, but having seen a white f30, it stands out quite a bit.

[–]frink84 0 points1 point ago

sure, increase the space, but make the hood flow down to the grille, like it has in the past. its an ugly line that just jumps out on what would be an otherwise crips design. the distance between the front end and the engine block should not have an effect on the hood line being 6 inches back from the grill.
