Curiosity killed the deal | |

When you go look at a car for sale, what questions do you ask the seller after you've had a look at it? Some don't know where to quit... |

Ridiculous Engine Swap | |
|
In 1984 Yamaha inked a deal with Ford to produce a small 60° V6 engine for a transverse application that ended up in the engine bay of the high performance version of the Ford Taurus. Ford ultimately may have been plotting to drop it into the stillborn Ford GN34 mid-engine sportscar. Despite ending up in a hotted-up FWD sedan, the SHO motor has ended up in more than a few unorthodox places besides the back of Chuck Beck's Ford Festiva 'Shogun'. How about an Austin Healey 100-4, MGB, Triumph TR7, Ford Focus, Lotus Esprit... and even swapped to a longitudinal orientation with rear wheel drive in the Taurus itself. The Driving Enthusiast has the evidence here. |

hardtuned Art | |
| Costumes and welding. It started with a flower pot and a watering can. We're not artists, just stupid enough to build all of these things ourselves, including metal Christmas trees and trophies for the 24 Hours of Lemons. |
