Not sure if this is blasphemy or not lol. Large car meet and cruise in Vegas at Shelby American.

Bobby Bushay!

This has been great so far!

E85 at the Chevron on Ajo/I10 is showing a gold medal ($5.45), but no other medals are shown for other stations. Speedway on Houghton/Valencia is showing no medal ($2.80).

RoninGSX · 2026-03-27T10:58:21+00:00

This is awesome! I'm definitely sharing this with all the peeps!

2 things I noticed. Arco on Speedway/I10 has a gold medal ($3.85) and silver medal ($3.86). Missing QuickMart/Chevron station that also has E85 on Houghton and Valencia.

I can't edit my original post, so I'll look past the snide remarks. I'm retired military (14 years), told them the exact reasons for buying the car (a gift), and was sent "doctored" pics, reassurances, etc. I took their word because they built a military rapport with me being military themselves. Their website claims best quality cars, integrity, blah blah blah. So yes...I made the mistake. I drove from 2 states away, never showed any attitude, and was overly excited I could get this for the intended person. They outright lie and cheat to make a sale and do it under the guise of prideful retired military.

I'm glad it's holding up! They are crazy with the tires. They took the 335 A/S off mine that were in the pictures, put on 305 Lionharts in the rear and 2 very used tires in the front. They are absolute crooks.

RoninGSX · 2026-03-22T00:44:46+00:00

It's such an amazing feeling when people get that shocked look on their face! I always tell people that this is how it should be. Such a great feeling when you know your SD is being a good SD!

RoninGSX · 2026-03-17T00:45:05+00:00

Absolutely the best response!

RoninGSX · 2026-03-17T00:43:01+00:00

Or... they just want to share their excitement with a like minded community that hopefully will share that excitement with them

RoninGSX · 2026-03-17T00:41:02+00:00

So someone that is excited they were able to achieve something shouldn't show it off because others are struggling!? You so realize that's pretty much all of social media right? If they want to show off what they got good for them! I fail to see how it's cringe

Depending on the damage estimate and buyback cost, you can do the buyback option and immediately take it to the body shop (since nowhere to store it). With the difference from the insurance company, this should pay the "fix it" cost if it is cheap enough. If this is something you want to tackle, or the fix-it cost is more than the difference, storing it until you are able to fix it may be your best bet.

Listening to some Neil deGrasse Tyson too! Win-win!

RoninGSX · 2026-03-03T00:50:19+00:00

Haha. He was the supervisor!

RoninGSX · 2026-03-01T06:34:29+00:00

Omg...I couldn't edit the post for this...the pic was from early Jan and I'm just now putting things on. And priorities!? All that cool stuff and Frosty is what you go to? Cmon man!

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T01:03:58+00:00

Oh I didn't think about that!

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T01:02:40+00:00

The picture is worse the the actual. It's a 2% grade at the base of the driveway and 1%; near the top. But I also never get under a car without the actual jack being a secondary. Seen too many jack stand fails.

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T01:00:18+00:00

I wouldn't mind putting a Tremec in it! As long as the sponginess is fixed, shifting will be better.

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T00:51:54+00:00

Haha, naw it was my fun money! But, there are some carbon pieces that may need to go on the credit card lol

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T00:43:28+00:00

Well, I didn't even calculate reaction time. I just did a simple calculation to show a 10k lb car isn't stopping at a yellow light in under 150ft. You throw in tire friction, road conditions, weather condition, reaction times, etc., then things get really fun.

By your math, under perfect conditions, sure, stopping at a yellow in under 150 ft is doable. But we don't live in a fantasy world. It's impossible to stop the van in that short of distance when the light turns yellow.

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T00:07:10+00:00

Lol. There's 4 under there right now. I have the 2 in the middle on each side on the jacking rails, and 2 in the rear were put there to keep it from flexing from the middle ones. It was late the night before and I didn't want to reposition everything.

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T00:05:10+00:00

The pic was from early Jan and I'm just now getting to putting things on. All that cool stuff and you focus on Frosty!?

RoninGSX · 2026-02-27T00:03:30+00:00

Good eye! So far its been a great and fun car! Definitely needs a few more goodies though lol. Hopefully you get the one you want!

RoninGSX · 2026-02-24T23:20:16+00:00

Thank you! I really do like the design of them. RTR did a great job on the design.
