my new toy

has a newly rebuilt motor on it, needs a few things, like paint, throttle cable, and the thing that connects the shift rod to the tranny is too short, so it only goes into 2nd and 4th, its not long enough to shift up into 1st or 3rd. needs a few other odd's and end things, but overall i like it. brand new tires too.

this was my old one:

America's humane laws.
You can build a car in the garage and is free to ride it down the street.
In Russia, this is not possible.
Homemade car will not be allowed to use. It is very difficult to put on record and get a license.
Only large bribes.

That will be fun just to cruise the streets let alone off road, I've been thinking about one of these. You can pick them up pretty reasonable now days. Have fun and be careful....Buckle Up!

Flames belching out of the exhaust pipes = Priceless! I say do what you have to to get it registered, then remove said umm, smog thingies to belch flames again! Just my .02.

Actually, geg, a 'car' like that would not be allowed on the street in most places. It's called a 'dune buggy' or 'sand rail' and they are normally used to ride around in sand -on the beach, or in areas with sand dunes....like this...
