Why is he working in the parking lot of an Adam & Eve Store?

Anyone else circling things in the Sears catalog for Christmas?

Is this what the Battlestar Galactica was based on?   Glue some side pods on to launch fighters and you are there...

What's this bike called?  Velocipede?

What's up with the dolly wheel by the rear axle? Lower it for mad skidz?

I'm guessing it's for drifting.  There's probably a pedal or lever that lowers it enough to get the back tires almost off the ground.

I am disappoint that the giant skateboard in the foreground is just decoration and not involved in the stunt at all.

 

If I remember correctly, it was there to automatically apply the brakes as soon as the tires hit the road.

Edit: forgot my link:

 

But, that center wheel has it's very own ramp.  And then the car goes up the ramp with the R/R wheel off the ramp. 

My guess is the ramps need to have so much twist in them to get the rotation to get the car started rotating while on the ramp.  The hump in the center ramp helps get the thing spinning.  

She's just passing on a couple of pointers.

I concur.  That is much much better looking than an actual Edsel.

That makes two. 
 

I just pitched mine out with the trash or it would have been three.

Just picked this 86 up on Sunday! 973 miles round trip in 19 hours (Athens/Tampa).

Oh man that looks sweet. Pic unrelated

I just noticed this in my rental Altima.....

Where is the 1,000 rpm indicator???

I assume it's the tick between 0 & 2 but it just looks funny. Did they sacrifice that to show an additional 1,000 rpm of forbidden zone on the other end?

Looks like a great score!

It's an Altima.  So its expected to be driven bouncing off the rev limiter. But you are doing the no seatbelt thing correctly.
