That's interesting. It's common and legal here. A parent insures the car and names the kid on the policy as a nominated driver. The kid will have a much higher excess. (deductible)

Same here, but I never had a car that emulated Jimmy Durante before. And, most cars had some form of substantial bumper. Plus, I don't want to scratch my baby.

I just looked on google maps, it looks like a doddle. One overnighter and, from what I've seen of US roads, it'll be safer and more relaxing than the same distance here.

Mr Ryan is right. Why do we want to chase off new blood? The guys got a Mustang, he's proud of it. Support him, don't bag him. I would have given my left nut for a car like that at 15.

That'll be $500 in South Pacific pesos.

I'm surprised so many people think the B&O system is crap, I'm wondering what they're comparing it to. Anyway, it makes me glad my hearing is not great. I like the system, and I won't have to spend money improving it.

This is wisdom, especially No: 4. Riding bikes hones your self preservation skills, and teaches you to learn to feel what a vehicle is doing. It's called seat of your pants driving, flying is the same I'm told. Awareness, both situational and self, plus anticipation will keep you alive. Just...

I sure did. Got it sorted by age 20 though. Haven't had big crash since or an at fault one. I'm kinda proud of that. I wish my insurer was.

One thing I found, alignment shops that do performance/race cars seem to be more creative with alignment specs. More experienced.

One is dead? I hope.

Yep. At the moment 486 horsies are just enough lunacy.

Now that would be a thing. V8 2 stroke at 7.5k rpm. The old Commer TS3 diesel 2 strokes sounded great at 2k rpm.

I've seen some shockers. Generally on well beaten cars

Yeah sorry, I mixed two posts. Jeez, everyone's picking on me😁

I meant the oil pick up. Please excuse my lack of specificity:bow:

As Mr Ryan said, if it's sucking in oil it's fine. But significantly less oil means higher oil temps, which isn't.

None of them have a rattlesnake or gun on them. Are you sure they're genuine?

PS. I'll have blower whine over blow off valves anyday.

OK, I couldn't see all the tread. That's what I meant by "as far as I can see". I'd get an alignment, possibly camber and/or toe is out of spec.
