True story, in the early 90s you could buy these all day long from DPS surplus for $2500-$3000
Calm down, Lamborghini fans. This is an actual gearhead's car, not a fantasy bedroom poster for 8 year old boys that you will never actually own.
my favorite thing is listening to a bunch of guys who drive Kia Optimas and Nissan Rogues arguing over what is the best Italian supercar
actual number of Ferrari owners here: zero
You can spend $2000 on lottery tickets in hopes of getting an 11 second supercar, or you spend $2000 at the Pick n Pull for an '80 Chevette & '72 Cadillac driveline
*the "Bad Seed" Chevette is one of my top 10 favorite cars of all time. IIRC they put either 429 or 472 heads on a Cadillac 500 block, instant boost to 12:1 compression. All in, the total parts bill was $2000
caution to anyone planning to weld a junkyard Caddy 500 motor into a junkyard Chevette to flog at the dragstrip: there may be potential reliability issues

prepping for today's #DavesCarIDService I saw this neato pic from the always wonderful @TracesofTexas (forwarded by @DruncleWill) leading down a weird historical rabbit hole. First, I can say the truck here is a 1910-15 Universal. Next, the rabbit hole.
Confession: even in my advanced age and state of automotive OCD, I had previously never heard of Universal Motor Trucks. But here it's conveniently labeled as such on the truck's chassis. So I decided to dig for more info.
Warning: this will be a long thread about obscure industrialists from more than 100 years ago that ultimately has no moral, other than stuff is more connected than you think. If that is tedious to you, you might as well mute this thread now.
Dave’s homemade Christmas ice cream flavors for 2020: Brach peppermint and bourbon & Heath toffee
*the bourbon & Heath toffee doesn't have actually Heath bars or any kind of chocolate in it, just the toffee bits.
For full sized ice cream maker: 3 cups sugar + 4 cups whole milk + 4 cups heavy whipping cream + 2 tbsp vanilla + pat of butter + shot or 2 of bourbon. Mix over low heat then cool. Churn until semi firm, add pack of Heath toffee bits, churn until done
*Mermaid show at the Polynesian Room, Yankee Clipper Hotel, Ft Lauderdale.
I enjoyed the show but cannot in good conscious put it in my Tiki bar top 10, thanks to the dipshit DJ spinning Pitbull and whatnot. Tiki bar music should be lilting Hawaiian guitars & Martin Denny
please do not reply about the NY Times Tiki article, I already vented my spleen about that yesterday
