The build of "Wh4t3v3rs"

[Frank Enstein]

I used to put 20k a year on it in the summer!

It's been down for years now. It may run again someday.

20k..... thats whats up! Nothing beats driving a race car on the street and hurting some feelings and 20k is A LOT of hurt feelings!!! Haha

I had to drive it in the snow one winter. It's a real POS in the snow! I only lived 3 miles from work but it still sucked donkey butt!

Wide low profile tires, upper RPM power band, big HP.... isn't that a perfect winter car? Lol

What's the deal maker on the vett? Whats that one thing that sells you on it as your favorite??

Deal breaker is the color. I’m not sure what it is, but it’s a bright but deep sparkly blue. A very beautiful car. Sounds great too!

ALL MY FOLLOWERS, IN ONE (1) POST TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE RIDE AND WHAT ABOUT IT MADE IT YOUR FAVORITE...

1983 Mazda RX-7 with a half-bridgeported 12A rotary. I daily drove it for five years with the stock motor, ate an apex seal, drove another five years on a junkyard motor, then swapped in the hot motor. It was probably about 220 hp, but the power was available from 4000 - 9000 rpm. Unfortunately, the rust in the rear wheel wells was growing around where the upper suspension links were welded in, and at the time I didn't have the welding experience or equipment to fix it. I still have the engine, and my goal is to put it in my '61 Sunbeam Alpine.

Nah, it's a Pontiac which is Native American for "Tractor Engine"

What happened? Maybe this isn't the time or place. OP seems flexible though, as long as you don't make fun of his PS choices.

I got t-***** by a drunk driver, 56 pins, 8 plates, 4 rods, a knee replacement and an ankle fusion later I am at least mobile. If I wouldn't have lifted my leg off my clutch pedal I would have been an amputee from just above my knee. I can no longer drive a manual every day but still do when I go to my parents and drive dad's 66 Chevelle with a Muncie lol. The accident was 20yrs ago last week Oct 14th 2001.

If we're talking favorite cars it had to be the 72 Chevelle SS 454 that I got t-***** in. Bucket list top is a 1967 Impala SS 396 coupe black with a red interior.

That would be a hot one!
