Sloppy Mechanics on Youtube

You have to love cars like the Fairmont and this 77 Dodge Aspen. Of course it's hardly a mystery: 1) awesome sleepers, 2) tin car cars are LIGHT 3) nobody cares about them, or ever did, so cheap to buy even in good shape.

Stock 225 slant six radiator. HA

Cutlass Ciera with the 3.3L, turbo at 4psi (maxed out MAF already). Makes 200 at the wheels.

I drove one of these with the FE3 suspension (and 3.3L) and I think it was a good touring car. Full gauge package, etc.

This kid is awesome.

Also, this:

Sometimes you need some fool around time after playing with all the serious stuff.

This car confirms rule #47 of hot rodding (I made it up):
- The junk never blows up but the serious stuff does.

Which is why many folks would rather just rotate junkyard LQ4s or LM7s (for example) because it's actually cost effective. And it's not like they don't last a while anyway. But as soon as you put money into it, unless you're Tom Nelson or someone similarly accomplished, you'll just spend a lot of money and still make mistakes (and lose a $10k+ engine).
