This not about a car but still Gas/Oil/ nuts n bolts and a whole lotta fun.
My younger brother just recently got this and I finally got my turn in the front seat. It is a homebuilt and just so much fun. Thought maybe you guys might like a small change of subject matter, if it doesn't belong then Mods please delete it.

Love it. And home built to boot!
Whats it got for a power plant?

I always thought the coolest planes ever built were the Gee Bee racers. If they aren't a hot rod I don't know what is.
Torchie.
 
It is great fun. The plane is a Acro Sport 2 it has a 185 Lycombing flat 4. My family has always been into planes. My Dad built 2 Steen SkyBolts 2 place in line open cockpit fully aerobatic biplanes and a 2/3s replica P51 Mustang all sold off years ago but growing up watching them being built was really something. My brother is the only one of us to actually get a plane and has made my Dad a very proud father to finally have a plane back in the family.

They are a nice looking airplane. I built and flew an open cockpit Pietenpol and had a blast. By the looks of the airspeed, your cruising about 40 MPH faster than I did.:) It's been about 12 years since I flew as pilot-in-command and I have to say, I do miss it from time to time.
 
Very cool....always had a soft spot for aircraft..

Wish I still had my Cessna 182....love to fly and I've rented one occasionally but not in the last couple of years....expensive hobby but what isn't..:D Very cool that the family is into flying....
