One time I was sitting at a stop light in the left lane, a Pontiac 6000 came up behind me, changed lanes and stopped beside me. It was a diesel. When the light turned green, I gave it enough gas to easily put dad's Ciera away. It jumped in front of me, slammed on the brakes and turned left, exactly the maneuver I anticipated and tried to block. So they could be much faster than a 240d, but ours was not. The rebuilt IP changed performance not in the slightest. I think road tests were around 16s 0-60.

Re: [MBZ] OT Welding machine advice
I welded this weekend using the Millermatic 175, with gas. We have a chinesium gazebo frame that collapsed under snow, bent it all, kinked one spar nearly in half, and popped three welds. I figured it was less work to fix it than to buy another and install it, so I just hit it with the welder. Didn't even grind off the paint, just burned through it with the welder. No, the welds don't look very good, but they're holding. Gas with MIG really does work a lot better than flux-core. But, the flux-core seems to work better than gas when it's windy. Buy one of each! It's fun! With a torch, my first welding purchase, you get all the welding abilities, including other metals like aluminum, lead, and copper, and you can solder and braze, and heat, bend, cut, and remove rusted fasteners with ease. I have used it to eliminate hornets too. It can be slow and the consumables are not particularly cheap any more, but it's extremely versatile.
