This is the only thing I hate about this series. I find the only POS Fox GT left in Ontario, drive 400 km to drag it out of bear infested bush and before I can enjoy my exotic find for a second the Left Coast contingent does stuff like this. And on the east coast, they're building Wartburgs and Sonetts. Meanwhile here in the land of endless road salt I swivel my head when a rare car like a Tempo drives by. I feel like the kid who just got cut from the football team. If this keeps up the fans are gonna come out just to see the exotica. NASCAR is boring!

I guess tempos are different in Canada, because here in USA they are bigger version of a crappy escort. Fox gt  What s that?

Re: Any changes to the fender rules coming?

It's an 89 Mustang GT....no Tempos were the same POS up here, except they corroded so fast you didn't have time to realize what a lousy car it was. There are very few cars from the 80's on Toronto streets.....the smog program scraps a lot of cars and wreckers here generally crush wrecks quickly. I think the Chinese buy the scrap. About 3 million people here and one pick-a-part yard which is not terribly busy. But if someone starts a spec grey four-door Camry series, I'm set!

China buys the Steel then it's shipped back here in giant rolls and trucked around, at least that is how it is south of you.  Had a feeling About fox being Mustang

Ya I figured out the don't open the door thing in about a millisecond when the cop put his hand on his holster....so I felt that rooting around in the glovebox wasn't a good idea either....there should be some kind of instruction manual for tourists in Texas! Later in Cisco I stopped at a 7-11 type place called Alsup's and bought a "Big Gulp" kind of Diet Coke that I swear was the size of a KFC family bucket....a horse couldn't drink that much, but it was sorta Texas appropriate...

when it's the middle of july, a big gulp is almost a requirement cool

Re: Any changes to the fender rules coming?

Is it true that armadillos jump in the air and can break your windshield?

where did you hear that?  no, they don't jump in the air, or climb trees. mostly they dig around for grubs and such, like they been doing since the their cousins the dinos were walking around.

hmmmmmm, a dillo car..........

Re: Any changes to the fender rules coming?

The cop told me that they wander onto the road and when they see your car they jump up and hit your windshield....didn't sound right but he kept a perfect poker face  so I thought, well maybe it's true....you do have very small deer that seem pretty fast...

Dillo car has been done using a VW type 3 fastback. It was awesome until it got wrecked out of the race.

I've got armadillos in my yard - they *do* jump, as I found out one night when I let my dog out and she found one. Ending up chasing it back towards me. I've never seen an armadillo move like that, but it was pretty hilarious. I don't know if one could get high enough to hit a windshield, but the one in my yard has some ups.

Yeah - they are pretty intimidating until they start playing dead - I've seen my dog tear one up and it just dropped and laid there letting her bite it. Once I chased her inside I sat there and watched it for a minute, and it just got up and walked off like nothing happened. Odd creatures for sure.
