I will not put my money where my mouth is because money is dirty and there is a virus going around. 

Put a big red bow on it and put it in my driveway Christmas Day. I don’t need to care what the APER is with this price. Sure, with those miles some things will need to be refreshed but it looks nice and the refreshed parts don’t need to be done all at once.... Nice Price for me.

Jason where’s our analysis of that front plate mounting location that appears to be permanently molded to the front bumper. Don’t want a front plate or live in a state where they’re not required? Too bad here’s a weird lump. Once you see it it cannot be unseen.

While we’re at it can we, cliche aside, talk about the…

Ferrari has a long wait list for these one of one cars. I don’t think the owner was considering the pandemic when they ordered the car a couple years ago. And sure, it costs the same as a bunch of PPE. Of course the issue with PPE right now is supply constrained, not specifically the ability to pay for it.

Please don’t release it with that plain square grille Nissan... this took me 10 minutes, I’m sure it can be updated at this stage:

You may not realize it but the complaint made against you was the best thing that could have happened.

20 years, David Tracy hides in a corner in the post-apocalyptic hell that is the United States of America. Armor-clad police march in columns down the street. Jim Spanfeller, having somehow failed his way into a role as Ivanka Trump’s Vice President, shouts over loudspeakers about beans. People writhe in agony on the…

Wow, this is my first time hearing about this!

I’m willing to bet that the way the partnership is setup for this is similar in arrangement to the one for AMG/Aston Martin where Aston only gets infotainment 1-2 model years behind Mercedes AMG. The Supra got the power update to match the Z4, so the only things separating it now are the infotainment and being a…

As someone who’s tried to upgrade his car from one iDrive version to the next, I can tell you it’s more than software. If your car didn’t ship with upgrade compatible hardware, it’s not happening. Most of the hardware is different, including the computer, screen, controller, and gauge cluster. I can’t speak to the…

I see that much rust and I am giving a hard no on almost any car. Those Jeeps have a pandemic of rust, and they aren’t rare or special. They are free for a reason.

Stay home and WORK ON THE CARS YOU HAVE. YOU SAID YOU WOULD, GO DO THAT.

That last paragraph is why i bought a b8.5 S4 with a 6-speed. It is the WD-40 of sedans. Not the best at any one thing, but damn it if it isn’t great at pretty much everything.

Honestly that's test cell setup, most of what you're seeing are thermocouples for measuring pre-turbine, post-turbine but pre-cat, and post-turbine post-cat temps in both turbos. The only oddly run wires I'm seeing there are the wastegate actuators and widebands, but again my hope is that this is just for the test…

Neutral:

Early reports say a South African man in his late 40's was seen fleeing the scene carrying a gas can and jumping in to what witnesses called “a cartoon truck”.

My neighbor has an i8 and I don’t think it has the fun factor. It’s too modern and everything is filtered. What this guy needs is a real car. Something that’s still analog and you can feel the road through.

i was going with a bimmer recommendation as well, but i’m not sure his depreciation concerns match the i8 recommendation? even one that’s $50-60K now?

Ok Jalops, let’s address the elephant in the room: TIMING CHAIN GUIDES. B7 RS4s have updated metal tensioners that were not present in the earlier S4s (B6/7). In other words, let’s not comment about “OMG TIMING CHAINS AHHHHH !!” This is a total bad-ass car on the used market, especially If you want a vehicle that can…

I completely agree, but those 15"s look terrible on a Fit. The wheel wells are oblong, and holy wheel gap!
