As for the motor deal, yeah that looked kinda goofy.
Yeah that might be right.

But in reality, he ran the K-Car, because it was left over from his time at Kyosho. The Italians don't care for sedan at all. For them, real men drive 8th scale. Kinda like you guys with your trucks

He once came to a race sedan at our track. When I asked him why his car was so dusty, he said he had to search for it under his work bench..

No love here!
