There was a pic on the 911 forum back in '05 or so of a blue SC sitting on stands or a dolly with wheels rolled into the arches at the perfect height and 964 bumpers snuggled in place somehow. Apparently it was a concept pic of a proposed hot rod. I bit hook line and sinker which led to my design to fabricate the "bumper" car. It was a few years before I could execute the idea, but it never left my mind.



I think the rims and tire set up on the blue car is what makes the car. If it was an inch lower in the front and about 1/2" in the rear, that might be one of many "perfect looks." I'd take it as it is. No hesitation except the price.

I didn't mean to say no photos, just that any pic and it doesn't have to be a photo.

I knew that copperheads were small compared to things like water moccasins and rattlesnakes, but I had no idea that they were that small!


I saw this on FBMP the other day. Being sold because "he saw a red one that he liked better."

Someone doing one of the food delivery jobs in Houston ran across this thing in a suburb.

Quote:
The original plan for the Mitsubishi Pajero Jr “Flying Pug” was to complete a production run of 1,000 examples, but it proved so woefully unpopular that just 139 were made before production was shut down.

The Mitsubishi Pajero Junior that the Flying Pug was based on debuted in 1995 and was produced until 1998. It was a full-featured 4×4 of diminutive proportions, allowing it to slot neatly into Japan’s lower-priced automotive tax brackets. Despite its small size, the Pajero Junior came with air conditioning, ABS, electric windows, electric mirrors, keyless entry, and power steering.
Fast Facts – The Mitsubishi Pajero Junior “Flying Pug”

The Mitsubishi Pajero Jr “Flying Pug” was a special edition model initially planned to have a production run of 1,000 units. This model, like its predecessors, offered a full range of amenities including air conditioning, ABS, electric windows, power steering, and keyless entry, making it a fully-featured 4×4 despite its smaller stature.
The Pajero Jr was designed using a lengthened version of the Mitsubishi Minica platform, equipped with a 1,094cc Colt engine, and a four-wheel drive system that included high and low range capabilities for serious off-roading.
Prior to the Flying Pug, Mitsubishi had great success with the Pajero Junior, leading to the creation of special edition versions including the McTwist and the Lynx, which featured upgrades like wood-effect trim, bull bars, and bolt-on LED lighting.
Unlike the successful earlier special editions, the Flying Pug was met with a resoundingly poor consumer reception, resulting in only 139 units sold out of the planned 1,000. Its styling, intended to resemble a London Taxi, did it no favors in the Japanese market, leading to its discontinuation.

Holy crap! I'll bet you'd sheiße yourself!


Well, that's well executed and relatively neutral as far as lift is concerned. LOL

A group of sailors aboard the first Battleship Texas, 1900. T he dirtiest sailor, barefoot in the middle, was probably the "powder monkey." His job was to hand-carry silk bags of powder from the magazine to the gun mount. Why silk? It burns away completely when fired, and it's strong and relatively light. Why barefoot? Fear of sparks from even shoe nails sparking on a steel step. Each shot from each of the turret's two guns required up to 6 powder bags to propel the shell on its miles-long trajectory, so this man was a busy who got plenty of exercise. This is a gorgeous, gritty photo ---- so good it almost feels like you're staring right into their souls.

Taken by famed photographer Edward Hart.
