I'm bad at getting girls' contact info

I was washing, and then drying my car while at my parents' place today. The girl who lives in the house across the street and owns a wrx ended up coming out to leave while I was in the middle of drying, and she said hi to me before I knew she was there.

I asked if she'd done anything with her WRX lately (haven't actually seen her in a few months because she's never here when I visit) and she said no because she's been busy working on rebuilding her rx7fc. So I ended up talking to her about that for a bit and she actually knows her shit. Like, I asked if she's going to ls-swap it or keep the rotary, and she started going into detail about how she prefers the rotary and the swap would be too costly due to "needing to swap the tranny and then widebody the car so the v6 can fit the engine bay".

This was basically me:



So as she was getting into her WRX, I ended up asking her for her name and then introducing myself...and then she left.

I should've asked about going on a cruise/drive sometime with my buddies and gotten her info/digits.

I know right.
1st LS=V8 not V6.

2nd there's absolutely no need for a widebody when dropping an LS into an FC.


If she said those things things I'd put her in the category of car noob.
Knows just a smidgen more than the average person knows about cars.
Just enough to throw some technobabble out but not enough to know whats actually correct.

IE: All the quotes from the first F&Fmovie

Ah. She may have said V8. I have shitty short term memory and was multitasking at the time.

But yeah you’re probably right about the widebody thing. Either way, girl who somewhat knows cars is pretty 👌🏼

He goes into more detail on inertia calcs than I do, but they need more measurements than anyone really wants to take to be accurate.
Agreed on all points.
