Hi.

[the Teuton]

Nick will pull off shifts in 100 ms.

Jake's engine will start off slow due to all the oil burnage but will go anyways.

You will stall.

The hunk a hunk of burning love oil doesn't affect my engine's performance really.

And you will be walking since you have no car.

My car is in tip top shape.  (for now, at least)

No! I will be driving my orange '70 Beetle!

You'd be going faster walking or on your bike.

Nick = Jeremy Clarkson

Teuron = James May

Me = Richard Hammond

except you didn't need to fall under hypnosis to not know how to drive your car

Blow it out your ass. Clarkson is a douche. I'm The Stig.

I'll be Clarkson then.

It's only been a few hours, but everytime I look at these pics I fall back in love.

Ha ha, douche.

As funny as I initially thought this, it warms my heart to see an auto enthusiast finally get their first car. And you know what... features are overrated. Honestly, as long as the motor is strong and the car is solid it should be fine.

You guys have to race.  I'll even put up money to make sure it happens, but all 3 have to make it, and pictures have to be taken

I'm down for July 20-21. And I will win.

[2o6]

Found a guy who's parting out his Neon. Maybe I can score some cheap seats. (or at least a radio)

[TBR]

You should depress the clutch pedal before you start anyway. Doesn't matter what gear it's in, though putting it in neutral isn't a bad practice. The Accord won't start without the clutch being depressed.


Also, if I get the E21 running, I'm down for the Top Gear Challenge.

Neons also will not start without the clutch being depressed. I am sure he'll quickly get used to the routine. Leaving it in neutral is not a bad idea, unless you're on a steep hill or don't trust your parking brake.

Congrats 2o6, looks like you got a great deal, and those Neons are surprisingly good cars. I miss mine. You are coming up on the t-belt replacement though (105k I think).

Eh, it'd be better to pony-up and get a modern CD player.

Yeah, someone on the Neon forum told me about this. I'm going to try and get that done before the summer's out. Should ask about this before I pick up the car. (Should've asked before I agreed on a price, but oh well)

I use my iPod. I don't own a single CD. (Yay torrenting?)

...the title of "Human Rev Limiter".

I've gone up above 4,500 RPM a few times recently...and I've noticed a cloud of smoke behind me as I've done so. Just because I can doesn't mean I should.

[2o6]

I don't even have the luxury of knowing how fast my engine is spinning.

No offense intended here, but based on the pictures it doesn't seem like the PO was excessively concerned with maintenance. Doesn't hurt to ask though.

I believe it's illegal to drive in some states wearing headphones, so you might want to check into that.

He was. This car is very solid. Exterior wise, not so much. Mechanically, yes. (And I don't drive with headphones. I plan on getting some sort of adapter or FM transmitter)

You can have my old Kenwood head unit if you can wait that long to get your ass handed to you.

I need my music. Now.

[Laconian]

I did the tape adapter thing in my CAmry. It muffles the audio significantly vs. line-in or native CD input. That might not matter if the stock speakers are mediocre, though.

[2o6]

I'm going to see how cheap I can find a line-in head unit.

[280Z Turbo]

I'm going to see how cheap I can find a line-in head unit.

$80 is about as cheap as they get brand new.

+1.

Don't skimp on the lens effects, and be sure to capture a lot of cloud motion
