200miles and it hasn't left me stranded......yet :rofl:

I was bored today and went tooling around macleod trail and took a few minutes of the tractor in action. 1/4 throttle, under 4000RPM - don't have the balls (or skill, lol) to push it hard (700hp/1900lbs), so I just drive it casually, scare the women and children, and have a grand ol' time.

Some hotties from the Fluor building were looking at me at the light and giggling to themselves about something .... why do I get the feeling they were probably saying 'wow, he must be really compensating for something'........ :cry:

Sorry man - don't get me wrong. It's a crazy car and probably amazing fun.

But I'm sick of hearing it's loud exhaust even in the video. I can't imagine how sick I'd be of it in person. It's like having a freakin' jumbo jet flying right beside your ear it's so loud.

Not my cup of tea. Still - I guess I can see it's draw for you...

(I'll gladly take the yellow Vette though!)

what a beast! :thumbsup:

But I can't imagine sitting in that car. You'd probably need earplugs or you'd go deaf after an hour or two of driving. Is that a kit car?

Wish I had seen this driving around in the south. :( Plenty of opportunities this summer though, right?

weight of the car; that would be some siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick torque :drool:

Summer does tend to be the best time to drive a car that doesn't have a roof :D

Then again, as some beyonders will tell you, they saw me driving around in sub-0 temps as well, hehe!

yes; essentially you get the frame and body (not the hood, that's a custom piece) and then go to town on the assembly.

Don't forget about 4th :angel:

Best traction is in 5th because of how tall it is; unfortunately it's also a total bog-fest under like 80mph because of the tall gearing, lol.

Trying to start smoothly is always fun - my cam is pretty lumpy, so my choices are to either lug the start (not fun) or start smoothly. However, to start smoothly I always end up having to bark the tires as I start moving. Magic 8ball tells me my rear tires won't last very long, even driving like a pansy :rofl:

Paint in 2months and then hot girls!

Saddly hot girls seem to only either giggle or glare at my car. Some MILF was giving it the eye today, but sadly I think that's only because the 4yr old she had with her was jumping up and down in excitement over my car, lol.
