Agreed
I really don't care anymore since I know I will never be on the top/win
Unless I build a vintage car for the oldies around here

How about an action shot of your vintage tires blowing apart on the track?
I'd vote for that!

imho its not even brand battles anymore. Anything made in any factory will fail. No matter what brand. Speaking in 1:1 cars/trucks, not RC, lol.
Because of the quality of parts.
I seen so many recent recalls of Fords.
GM always had the lifter issues on the 5.3s and 6.2s in recent years of 1500 platforms.
Dodge with the transmissions, although they are doing smart with bringing back the srt division i heard and saying good bye to that awful electric charger daytona thing with fake engine sounds. Lol.
Even like this year model toyota trucks been having recalls and issues.

This is why we need to go back to the old school days.
OBS platforms. Square bodies. GMT800 platform. All of those were beasts.

They're all junk. The only way to have a good, reliable car is to replace 90% of it with aftermarket parts.

I like them all, but grew up a fan of Mustangs. So that's what I played with. But I've owned everything. The absolute worst cars I've owned was a brand new '89 Camaro, which had more electrical problems than every car I have ever owned combined. Including the time the entire engine harness going through the firewall shorted out and nearly caught the car on fire less than a month after I bought it.

The second worse was an '04 Chevy Monte Carlo, which had numerous electrical failures, that were all extremely difficult to diagnose and repair. So I eventually sold it after fixing 5 different electrical problems, and three more popped up during that time. Lights quit working, gauges quit working, windows stopped working, ignition shorted out, etc.

These are just two of the 10 GM products I owned. I wouldn't drive another Chevy if it was given to me.

I like how the Intake air temperature sensor plug and the ignition B+ plug were right next to each other, and could fit each other.

when you enter doesn't seem to have much to do with where you finish (as long as you give people about 5 days to vote for it), especially if the pic and car in it are good.

Besides wanting to be in the first to post, I might need a little more time for everyone to forget about June's faux pas. They'll all hate me less, or have forgotten.

Once I worked out the kinks, my 'ROC was good to roll.

[Heisenburg]

I prefer cars you can drive on the street, with great handling

Since you're half way there, are you living on a prayer?

No. Because it's not landscape.

Never seen anyone have so much trouble understanding the rules… Look at the entries, do they look like the above “collage”? C’mon bro-you’re making this waaaaaaay harder than it is.
