The holes for mounting the wing are on the rear deck there -- maybe they have it in storage? The car is a little bit low, I'd think about bumping the ride height up a skootch, if not closer to stock, for fire road bombing.

That price point does seem like a shot in the dark.

Buyer's remorse or attempt to flip? This car just popped up for sale on my local FB Marketplace.

Oooh, no! I'll have to check that out. Of course, the 900 cab makes plenty of appearances in Seinfeld, and Minnie Driver, uh, drives one in Grosse Pointe Blank!

After six years of remote work, I'm going in to an actual office these days. When I walk to work in the morning my wife reports that the cat watches me leave from the window and apparently sits there for a good half hour waiting for me! 😭 😭 😭 😭

Good stuff so far - the fact that China is hot on the heels makes it even better. My suspicion is that Red Bull is faster than they might have appeared - Max put in some cracking laps this weekend (fastest of the race!), and looked just as quick as George. It's too bad we didn't get to see Hadjar.
