She runs!
The project car I have been working on, which most of you know about, is nearing completion. After spending a large sum of money on a new starter, fighting with grounding issues, and other electrical difficulties, I finely gave up and decided to start it the old fashioned way. So I convinced my dad to pull me around the shop too pull start it. It started right up with a quiet purr. So after flying around the shop a few times, drifting 1 1/2 times,(I lost it the second time and spun out right where my dad could see me, he thought it quite funny) I realized my front tire was falling off. Somewhere along the line I must have forgotten to tighten the lugnuts. No big deal, I tighten them and am off again. Confident I've worked the bugs out of the system I Head out to the field. I drive kinda slow until I get through the bumpy part, and as soon as I can I gun it, 25mph in 1st, 45mph in 2nd and 55 in 3rd(approximately) then I get to the end the field and after slowing down a little bit I decide to drift again. I was successful, but in the process the car dies. Like 1/4 mile from home. After a few anxious attempts to start it, it finally comes to life, and I go home, finish bolting the seat in, put the seat belts back in, and am looking forward to driving it again.
I have pictures of this as well as of the other car I bought the front half of too, but it will take me a while to get them on here.

You forgot to mention that it is really loud and smells really bad. But other than that it looks and seems to be okay.

That is the sound and smell of performance. (And maybe a little burnt oil and unburned gas)

Why?

With people or animals maybe, not cars.
