Some nice cars ..I'm enviuus ......I watch way tooo much Vice Grip Garage ..and lament how the UK classic car scene is somewhat frumpy n dull for the most part, and we have a government committed to getting us all to drive cheap Chinese electric hamster mobiles rather than preserving nice cars. 

Regular Car reviews with Nick and Roman is worth a laugh as well if you know car culture

A lot of Deja Vu here…

my wife’s 55 Tbird currently in my evil clutches, close to my torch, welder, and paint gun…

the Baby Bird is a factory red car with red and white interior and full power equipment   
im glad she loves it because like I told Iain Ogilvie, I need axle grease and a skyhook to get me out of these tiny cars

Hopefully it will look like this in a few months. 
She won’t let me near that Crown until her little bird is done.  But I do it all myself, so it doesn’t break the bank and keeps me out of the bars.

The WRX is no more...  Picked up a 2021 Audi A4 with 24k miles on it.  The WRX was a 2018 with 52k on it.  Actually, it is quicker and faster than the WRX was, by over 3/4 sec 0-60.  Who knew?? And it gets about 35% better gas mileage than the WRX.  But so much tech inside - beyond Apple Car Play and Android Auto - that I'm still sorting out various things, like how to turn down the damn voice that tells me my 'mobile device is still in the car' when I open the door but haven't grabbed my phone out of the center console yet.  The cell phone app tells me if I left the car unlocked (and can lock it or unlock it remotely, yay) or if I left the window/door/hood(bonnet)/trunk(boot), and or sunroof open.  Haven't found remote start yet, however.

Great to drive normally (Auto or Comfort Mode) but put it into 'Dynamic' drive mode (Audi-speak for "sport mode") and this thing really goes.  0-60 in 4.8 sec.

That's cruel. It's not like he bought a Challenger.

Na man, it seems around here in my area that all Ram Truck drivers act like their mental ignition timing has been turned back a few degrees.  I guess all Ram owners here have some kind of pass from LE where they’re allowed to go 20 over everywhere and tailgate those in front of them. 
It’s a nickname for Ram drivers in my area.

Thank you!  You ever notice Ram drivers look a lot like their trucks?
