3rd Gear: Fun fact; the CLA45 and GLA45 AMGs use a similar AWD system

A buddy of mine had a ‘76 Eldorado in high school with a 502 in it. It also got 8 miles per gallon. I miss that car. Too bad this one is trash. CP

Ed Hochuli should just start breaking faces when a coach or player gets in his face about a call. He could act as his own attorney in the lawsuit

St. Barnardus Christmas Ale? Nothing? Exceptional Belgian that one.

That’s good Kinja right there

As long as the angle gear is ok for the AWD system, NP if you can get it for $7k.

Wow. Screw ups on both sides. Owner for taking it a quick lube and the “tech” for chopping it apart and not knowing how to work on the car

I actually forgot that the DVDs I had were the Special Editions with all the added bullshit in them. My wife came downstairs just as I was mother f’ing all over the place at Hayden Christensen showing up at the end of Jedi. I can tolerate the Sarlaac looking like an uncircumcised donger, but Hayden and the extended…

I don’t hate it.

I was close to getting a Flex with that motor but I couldn’t get comfortable in the driver’s seat which is weird considering the size of the thing. Livernois Motorsports has a package for it that claims another 70hp/90tq to it.

Love the color, stance, steelies with caps, and the whole idea of it, but it still needs some work. Namely, get some fuel injection on this and some safety equipment inside the car. As-is I like it at $8k. CP anything higher

Thin the project list or you’ll never meet that nice young lady your mother is bugging you about unless she is the UPS driver delivering your latest Amazon Prime order of parts.

Holy crap, real journalism on a Gawker site! Well done Raph! Great read

Only about 33 1/2 more hours until my screening...can’t wait

This thing has been for sale for awhile around here in Metro-Detroit It’s going to sit awhile longer. CP

As much as people hate on this little guy, they’re a blast to drive. Looks will always be in the ho-hum department but, man, are they fun little cars to toss around. Bummer the N/A V8 is going to way of the dodo though.

Dammit that’s pretty

I’m a better person for knowing this was real. Thank you.

I’ll leave this here

Seems affordable with the fun motor, capable in hauling things, not a SUV, could be mod friendly! I didn’t hate it when the images and specs first got released and I have to say, I quite like it now. Thanks Stef!
