"Shit just saw this. It's a VR6. It's sort of in between. The cylinders are inline but there's a narrow 15 degree angle that's used to stagger them to make the motor length shorter. Whatever the German word for the VR abbreviation means "in a line". So I'd call it an in-line based on that."
Vee-Reihenmotor 6
translation
V Inline 6
so I guess you could call it either.

The rear is an 8 3/4 from a 70 Roadrunner and now features a Powertrax Grip Pro and 3:55 gears. Under the hood is a 400 big block with an Isky Mega cam, Holley Street Dominator Intake and Holley 650 Double Pumper carb. Hooker headers with cutouts for the drag strip.



1979 Chrysler Cordoba. I haven't got this one out of storage yet, so eatzza old pic. I didn't change much under the hood, just removed the Lean Burn emissions system and replaced the distributor and added Hooker headers. Out back is a Spicer Traction Lock with 3:23 gears.

See ya tomorrow, suckers.
How’s the rich Corinthian leather?

The only reason you smoked that rear end is that you failed to install 4.10s'.

2020 GTI
I love it, had it since last fall. I used to be a manual guy but the DGT trans is awesome. I can haul stuff when needed and have fun all the time.
Check back with me in a few years as it’s my first VW

Still in the Grand Cherokee. Thinking about picking up a Bronco Badlands end of summer. But you know that already.

I bet that is fun to zip around in, and looks like you take good care of it too.

It has a Sport Mode that tightens up the steering and give it faster pickup - when you hit the gas, you get thrown back in your seat.
I work in Queens, NYC and my company just moved to an industrial area with very little parking... I can always find a spot to squeeze in while, my coworkers spend 30 minutes looking for a space for their SUVs.
Only thing I don't like about my Mini is that, it doesn't have noise insulation so, you hear a lot of road noise and I have to blast the stereo. Wish I had known to ask the dealer about noise insulation cause, I would have paid more to get it.
That pic is from 2014... it still looks the same except, it now has a roof rack.
Another good thing about having a small car is that, I can't drive my drummer to gigs - he has to go with the singer!
There's enough room for all my gear and the bass players. You can easily fit a 412, head, pedal board, and two guitars, with a little room to spare.

It's definitely not a replacement for the full size Ford master life but, kinda like your Mustang, it's a semi practical daily to go with the full size.

We are both driving Camrys right now. Hers is a 2011 and mine is a 2018. Meh.
We are planning on going after a meeting 4Runner or Highlander here shortly. The roads in the med center area/downtown are garbage so an SUV would be nice. I like the 4Runner TRD a lot but the Highlander’s roof vents would be nice for kids.

The 4Runner is freakin sweet, the Highlander has all the cool factor of a mini van without the practicality.
Those TRD Pros are really hard to come by right now, and are selling for full MSRP most of the time.

2017 Toyota Tacoma. Put a 2/1 level lift (Billstein struts with Old Man Emu coils on the front and a leveling block on the back) on it. Once my tires need replaced I’m going to upgrade to 17” rims with high wall tires so it’ll lift it quite a bit more. I also added puddle lights and Morimoto HID headlights to blind oncoming traffic. Ignore our POS driveway. I want to replace it now but the wife wants to remodel the living room and kitchen first, so this will look like poverty for a while longer.
Speaking of the wife, she’s got a pretty badass 4Runner Off Road. I love my Tacoma but the 4Runner has a better motor.

Last year even the non-Pro Tacomas and 4Runners were selling for over MSRP.

Doesn’t surprise me at all. Super bad ass rides.
The limited color TRD Pro models are boner inducing.
