    Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the Porsche's GT1 racecar of that era suffered from a similar fate.(?)

    Yeah but they weren't flipping over, they would get tail-happy and make abrupt left or right turns due to a loss of traction up front and power induced oversteer

    I wish that would happen to Honda Civics with giant wings and bumblebee exhaust.

    There's no greater technological marvel than rear downforce on a front-wheel-drive sedan. :p

    "Dude bro, my Civic with the wing puts out SO much torque bro? [pause for deep vape] that my wheels brake [sic] loose. It's even worser when it's windy. It's because the cold air makes the air charge more denser. I'm glad I gots audomaddic, 'cause it winds up so fast bro I coulnt shift fast enough in manuul."

    I mean, that's a pretty crazy looking gasket.
    I'll bet aliexpress's got 'em for $49.95 -- although the packaging might say Rambolghini.

    I would just cut a gasket out of that banana peel and call it a day.

    If you’re worried about the repair bill, you shouldn’t own a Lamborghini anyway.

    It’s part of how they keep the posers out of their cars.

    You could 3d print one for about.39c.

    You can print gasket material with a 3D printer? I didn't know that.

    Permatex's The Right Stuff became my go-to for form in place gaskets. Fast tack, fast cure, and fluid resistant in minutes. Been a while since I had to wrench on stuff, but it worked great in all my Lamborghinis.

    My father and I tried that stuff (or the early 1980s equivalent) on the oil pump of my (now) wife's '77 Fiesta (lovingly monikered The Fiasco) after an oil filter change mishap. The operation was not a success. :# Unfond memories of that little adventure.

    I'll regale all y'all with some of the fun tales of the colorful ways that car used to break down some other time...
    That little blighter was fun to drive, though.

    Meanwhile, I need to go out and pull the Lambo into the garage. The snow's starting to accumulate, and I can hear it rusting. B)

    No clue, looks like some thin piece of plastic on my phone.

    It's quite smart actually. You can piggy back on those interconnects, you can cook a perfectly shaped egg and your amp will warm up much faster.

    That is supposed to have a description that says "Customer complained of sewer smell in the laundry room"

    You and I must get the same suggestion feeds on FB...I saw it this morning on the crapper.
