That stuff is quite common in Brazil no?

Yup, available on every gas station around the country, right next to CNG (which is a ticking time bomb taxi drivers LOVE to use)

That’s pretty sweet, you can get some good power on that.
Saw a few Supra’s built for it in Australia, but availability wasn’t great.

Pretty much every built car runs E85 arond here since its so easy to get.
Including my truck, which isn’t built at all, but came from the factory in 1984 all prepared to burn E85 on its 4.1L Stovebolt engine

My high school friend, Tony, had a Fiat Spyder [IIRC]. His nickname for Fiat was Found In A Toilet.

Here in Brazil one of the more common ones is “familia italiana atrapalhando o trânsito”, which translates to “italian family messing up the traffic”

Tow trucks just don’t look the same anymore.

yeah. boss just had a repo lift put in… even though we don’t do repo.

OH, hello there, you don’t look quite right…

Well, that explains one rattle, and why the suspension felt off.

How does an end link come apart like that?!

Has somebody done suspension work recently? Maybe they forgot to hook it back up.

The problem is that the end link popped out of the bushing. If someone wanted it off, there’s a bolt.

I was thinking the sway bar end link had to be disconnected to replace that shock, and whoever did it just forgot to reconnect sway bar end link.

If that wasn’t the case I have no idea how that happened.

Nah, I did all the suspension work myself, about a year ago.

I’m waay too mad right now. These damn brake line fittings don’t match up with the calipers. I only found this out after taking my entire brake system apart.

Guess it’s time to grab a beer, take a shower and go out.

Oh, and I broke a bolt on my stock caliper mount, so I can’t reinstall the stock parts unless I want to go out and buy a bolt… :frowning:

I hit 120MPH on the highway today, 2500RPM in 6th. Fastest I’ve ever gone. I love this Saab more and more every day.
