Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Check if you've got a reasonable amount of brakes left, then go and thrash the living shit out of it. If something breaks you can rebuild it, better, faster, stronger.

Show no mercy.

I'm catchin' what your throwinng, dude.

It will be fun feeling the improvements at each stage, too, rather than doing it all at once and then hating it for being too slow.

there's an engine rebuild on the cards anyway.

I know, I know, 65 raging horses should be enough for any man, but I want more...
