The more you and I cross paths the more I think we were separated at birth.

Yeah a little less stance-ness would be awesome. But with 27 hp it isn't going anywhere quickly.

a bad day for one guy, could have been a bad day for a lot more.

I count 4 missing lugs!

5 missing studs, the other 5 nuts were halfway down the studs. It was a $4400 job since the hub had to be replaced as well as two Alcoa wheels, two tires, two brake chambers, an air bag, one wheel end of brakes and a bunch of misc. hard to tell but the piece lying on the ground is the brake drum....

That negative camber is the suspension version of the pops and bangs tune.

I know that's a Mazda but... When I first saw the pic it reminded me of something I'd completely forgotten about. When I was a kid, maybe 7 or 8 my Dad and I went over to his buddies place to help him with his stock car. Dad was a good mechanic and could make anything work, but the mini stock in question was an Anglia and Dad was no magician. To make matters worse, his new dog, a black lab, bit me shortly after we arrived and we spent half the afternoon in the hospital getting my face stitched up. Fortunately we got out in time and we made the races as Dad ran upper mid pack with buddies Anglia.

Good news was he found the problem. Bad news was it wasn't the car.

There's nothing strange about that, and there are solutions for both the camber and the 27 horsepower... That thing could be awesome.

Looks more like an Anglia to me, and if the window counts for anything, it even seems more like a Mercury Monterey than that Ramber...
