Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

If i could pick any Corvette i wanted i'd get a Khareef-Class corvette.

Because the C4 doesn't have an automatic 76mm naval cannon. Or a helicopter pad. Which are things you need.. Because reasons.

It can be installed.

Weight distribution wouldn't be as good though.. 

On the other hand. Winning races would be pretty easy. I mean. Who's going to overtake someone with a cannon?

You couldnt afford it @techswede to moore it, to even drive it, to even run it.

But sell it to North Korea for a quick sale.


Greenpeace forced the Canadian Government to scrap their ship after it sank and polluted the harbor. This is after years of being moored tho. Their newest ship was rammed and it sank, it was stealthy looking, cost them a pretty penny much of it donations from Hollywood to make them all feel warm and fuzzy about saving the seal lions and shit.

Yeah.. Just a mooring spot for the houseboat i was looking at a while back would cost quite a bit. 

Not sure north korea could afford it either xD

You could anchor it but you'd need 8 people to anchor it, and you wouldnt even know how to accomplish the task.

Well I am sure any country would take it for half price, Saudi Arabia, Australia, maybe some Pirates out of Africa. I honestly would not care who I sold it to.

 

Then the question becomes what do you do with your $50M cash?

I know what I'd do, just a matter of what country I want citizenship with either the UK but Brexit dampens that, or USA. Would be easy to accomplish, marriage of convience with a good show to put on with lots of pictures for the US authorities. Could be done very easily actually. Im not sure what benefits Australian citizenship would have, other then its a safe country and perhaps their medical system is superior to Canada's, I know New Zealands is.

No idea if this starts at the right point or not but I found from 4:40 to like 5:00 hilarious.  The rest was meh.

 

There's something cool here - you just can't see it.

It probably comes with an instruction manual. 

 

As for what i'd do with 50m cash. Strategic buyouts of a couple of businesses i guess. Maybe one or two apartment buildings.

reconfirmed that the JDM one bolts right up (critical -- the EUDM one does not despite having the same header, it has a cat welded on the end and you have to get a Mazdaspeed miata midpipe to use the EUDM front pipe) and purchased it!

Given he's still holding out on turbo or V6, I give it a few months.
