I’m going to miss this car
Let the record show that I sold a manual transmission wagon to pay for a minivan. I hereby surrender my Jalop card. Now I need to find a super cheap shitbox beater.

You understand :) The Sienna is super cool, my wife and kids love it, makes our lives easier. Faster than most of the cars I’ve ever owned, comfortable, good stereo, and it’s a Toyota so I hardly have to work on it. I’m good. The 325 is too nice for this stage of my life anyway.

I’ll let you keep your Oppo gold membership. So long you lower and put a shift kit on the mini-van.

RallyMetro West
RallyMetro Part Deux
RallyMetro Golden Bear Edition
RallyMetro: This time in 1:43 scale
Ok, those names all suck, but I’m having a stupid amount of fun with that crapbox, for less than the price of one of them fancy 1:18 models. I highly recommend something similar.

Small with kid seats, decent for adults under 6'. I mostly had them folded down though, useful space.

Take inspiration from the Bisimoto Oddyssey!

RallyMetro is an inspiration, I haven’t been able to go back & read your latest posts but that’s my kind of car. There are no rallycross events anywhere near here, but I could daily a cheapo rallycross inspired beater.

Oh how I wish I could! That thing needs to run forever though.

If it was mine, maybe. It’s my wife’s, and I need that van to run forever at this point, so it’s staying bone stock.

I’ll give you the short version of the story here: this car is one tough sumbitch, and it’s surprisingly tail-happy in a very fun way. I need to swap the left axle, and figure out a way to reattach half of the front left lower control arm bracket. It still moves under its own power though!

Wish I could’ve found one of these for my first car. Ended up with a golf 5 speed, which I like, but I absolutely would’ve loved an e46 touring.

I am down for that. Something like that or an old Golf, a car I know like the back of my hand, that is tough and easy to work on.

I’ve had a golf and loved it, I’m sure I’ll have another sometime. This was a great car, it served us well.

Just don’t get any ‘70 or ‘71 Valiants in red. Rumor has it, they attract murderous Pete 281s, at least in Cali.

You have 2 beaters and some classic cars. Fix one of those

Time is hard to come by. I just want the Subaru and maybe E36 gone too, but if anything the E36 will be pressed into service because it needs less immediate work than the Outback. The old cars I have no money or time for, both need a lot of each. I’m just going to drive the truck for now.

Did you fix the truck? Yeah definatley get the E36 going. You and I both need better jobs quick.
Any of those racing teams need non mechanics?

Yeah, fixed the truck. And damn right.
Maybe, if they were properly managed. The Lambo squad is restructuring, ie the owner figured out he wasn’t making the money he was promised. Common problem in racing. On the racing note, my wife said if I get an opportunity to race full time I should take it.
