@Hoki_Hoshi I’m still hoping (coping) for a touge-themed Expansion 1 🤞

[RemRevs @RemRevs]

I found a road in #FH6 that looks like #WatkinsGlen! Started building it on stream last night.
Progress: front straight complete 😎

[VINTAGE @CarSighting]

Homologation specials are the coolest thing in car culture, no debate. Imagine buying a car that only exists because a brand needed to go racing

[RemRevs @RemRevs]

@Motor1com Unfortunately true. There’s excitement from the car community, but they won’t sell in enough numbers to have a stable market.

[RemRevs @RemRevs]

@FordRacing I hear a V8!!!

[Motor1 @Motor1com]

Scion is back... and will sell kei trucks in America.

The brand has released the KEI-01, a 660-cc mini truck that will be built and sold in the US.

Yes, you read all of that correctly.

@horsepower @CKnighthawk I’m shocked you don’t have one with all the driving you do. Stay safe 🙏

City Life week 1 complete! Dang we look good.

@jeracerx Whoever has the most money gets the best engine, can buy the latest parts, etc. It looks like a spec series from the outside, but TA, TA2, and TA3's rules favor the teams with the most to spend.

@millieumi This brings back memories - do it!!

[RemRevs @RemRevs]

Go try the @ASUKAxRR demo on Steam if you haven't. It has beautiful, whimsical style, an INCREDIBLE amount of tuning depth, and some fun 90-00s nostalgia.

If you liked it like I did, go back ASUKA: Redline Reverie (not sponsored) on Kickstarter https://t.co/7r46JgrJ32

Sometimes both things matter. In this case it’s a very specific curve on the end - I’m sure we’ll find someone who can make it for us. But also there’s limited room so having the right part really helps.
And I do agree that most cars should just get back on the road - that does speak to what I said in my post though. If everyone is more focused on just fixing the car, then there’s no original looking examples left, so knowledge gets lost to time.

[RemRevs @RemRevs]

Being a car guy can be difficult sometimes. Especially if you’re into older cars.

Some knowledge is lost to time, parts are no longer made. Or you end up in a Ship of Theseus situation (where some cars are so rare, misunderstood, or aren’t preserved) leaving an entire model generation essentially dead. Never to be original or correctly restorable ever again.

Case in point, the picture below 👇
This is an exhaust bracket for a 1965 Shelby Mustang GT350. No one makes this part. They used to. But the guys that did: passed, or the company that did discontinued it because not enough people bought it, or the NOS parts dried up as cars were fixed or restored over the years. Then you ask people on forums for help, and they disagree and fight over what’s original or correct.

We should do our best to preserve the knowledge of our hobby and try to pass it down to the next generation. Right?

So don’t gate-keep. Welcome newcomers and share your love for our hobby. The car you love might be the next one that’s forgotten.

@myvanishingpt My car, the 944 Turbo, had some of the best handling of the 80s and it did and does lean HARD just like the Aston. This was the nature of the technology at the time

[RemRevs @RemRevs]

This used to be cutting-edge high-performance suspension. It's amazing how far we've come.
It doesn't feel so soft when you drive it though 😅

[evo magazine @evomagazine]

One of Aston Martin's last true hand-built models, the ludicrous twin-supercharged Vantage was a muscle car crossed with a stately home.

[RemRevs @RemRevs]

@GrillinVeep @Spottyroo There are still people out there restoring the original motor cars. It’s not about “moving with the times” it’s about preserving history

[RemRevs @RemRevs]

@JDG_1980 Thanks I’ll check them out

[RemRevs @RemRevs]

@Spottyroo That’s the heartbreaking part. Some bits you can find and some you can’t. And you never know until you need that part

[RemRevs @RemRevs]

@wolf201257 Statistically? Maybe a percent or two for the majority of cars. That’s one of the reasons most OEMs stopped offering them (the others being development cost and emissions regulations)
Sports cars are different because it’s a niche market. There will always be a market there.

[RemRevs @RemRevs]

@DennisBaensch Dude, this is looking SO good!
