For the car guys, I am currently building an mr2 mk1.5, thought I'd post a track video:

perfect drift car. Its mid engine with a 50/50 weight distribution. Plenty of power to spin both tires on the skid pad and the traction and control of a racing go cart.

I wanted to put together a Lemons team with the theme of "One Great Airline" utilizing the body of a Chevy Citation X11 and the front clip of a Pontiac Phoenix to dress it up as a "merger." With all the Kum By Yah here no one was interested in showing the World what the two most recalled cars in GM history could achieve.
I'm still eying that Craptation X11. Early 80's GM performance at its worst. Wonder if the wheel bearings would actually survive a 24 hour race?
It would be fun to beat those US Air knuckleheads down in Charlotte.

Super has got me looking for a G8 GT. But I'd have to get rid of two toys to fit one of those in the garage.

That was a corvette ZO-6 and the video wasn't me, I am currently building myself one.
I am a long time mk1 mr2 enthusiast. I own 4 currently: 1 is N/A stock, one is supercharged stock except it has underdrive pullies that push the boost from 8 psi (stock) to 16 psi (about 10 hp/lb of boost) so it is pushing 223 hp. One with a buit 4age race engine: hks cams, header, 450 injectors, flowmaster, supra pump, adjustable coilovers, etc. One under the knife getting the 3sgte treatment with the e153 positraction drivetrain. 750 cc injectors, capped vacuums, Greddy automatic boost controller - a cheap 300 hp toy that will get 30 mpg unless my foot says otherwise.
Also building a 64 impala 2 dr ht with airride.
Ah no lack of hobbies here.

Even if that happened, which I agree is a possibility, the resulting contract would have to be ratified by 50.1%. The question is are there that many in our group who would go for such a sellout?
Notwithstanding Keenster and Nu's proclamations to the contrary, I fear there is a real possibility of that happening.
