price: minimum = $50 maximum = $500

You’d never do that in a road car though. It would cause way too much wear on the engine. On a racecar yes, because those engines see very short service intervals. Road cars don’t see full rebuilds every few thousand miles though. You’d have warranty claims out the wazoo.

Neutral: Some kind of truck. I need to tow and haul stuff. My Isuzu is just getting too old to keep as a daily, though I love it.

For performance cars, yes CVTs are terrible choices. For fuel economy? Far better than the million speed gearboxes OEMs are currently working on.

They were just about perfect. People keep them forever because they’re so damn good. I always wanted to try a K24 swap in mine, but it was my daily and that would have taken a looooong time to figure out.

A great battle on track can make for some wonderful stories. I was in a 3-hour enduro with a team of 3 and I had the last stint. The team behind us in the order ended up behind me on the track and for 20 solid minutes we battled it out. I ended up beating him and when we got out of the car, we high-fived and were…

The new CR-V makes me sad. I had a ‘97 CR-V and loved it: I threw it into all sorts of situations and it never once faltered. Tow a go kart? Done. Mud-bog? Done. 10" of snow? Piece of cake. Backroads thrashing? Little tipsy, but hilariously fun. Drive 4 people 1200 miles over 24 hours? Let’s do it again! …

According to Ford it was a little Trump, and a little slumping small car sales. Also, the dropping Peso would have persuaded Ford to stay in the US, though officially they did not claim the Peso as a reason to drop the plant.

This decision was made to safeguard Ford against any possible Trump policies. Ford could risk building the plant, but if mid-build Trump and the GOP raise tariffs, Ford ends up stuck with a money pit. Clearly Ford expected better profit margins with the Mexico plant, but the risk of raised tariffs would wipe that out…

If everything was perfectly polished and finished, yes. But there’s way too many details left untouched to justify 25K. Sorry, not an investment in any way, shape, or form.

You’re only allowed to see the real thing if you shit gold. And considering the number of actual food items you can buy with gold in them, I’m not kidding either.

If you retweet it to Trump, it might happen.

The ND Miata is a big improvement over the NC. But the NA Miata was 300 lbs lighter despite an iron block engine. The FR-S would be a car for me...if they offered it as a liftback. Seriously, that is the only reason I have not looked at them. I use my car for everything and liftbacks are the only way to really…

2700 lbs is pretty light. Not Honda CRX light, but still light. 2700 is around what my 240SX weighs (though I’m expecting to drop at least 100 lbs if not more. Need to finish putting it back together and weigh it). I have a 1st gen MS3 and my cousin has a supercharged Mini S. While the MS3 can handle him in a straight…

It’s so much more badass than a crossover. It has real low range and locking diffs. It’s a short Trooper with a cooler body and interior. I’ve really come to like it, I wish Isuzu was still around.

I just spent a week with a GMC Acadia company car. Despite 5 years and 154K miles on the clock, I was impressed with the toys, the build quality (other than the HVAC nuttons, the interior did NOT look like it had 154K miles on it. I would have guessed 100,000 miles less), and the comfort, but there was nothing that…

MORGAN?!? DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?!? I love Mogs, my dad has a ‘53 4-seater he is getting restored this year. I’m not sure I’d want a new one. I have this twisted dream of buying an 80s or 90s Mog and swapping in a complete S2000 suspension and drivetrain. This wouldn’t be easy or simple, but it would be…

I really have to agree with colorfulyawn. Even today’s “small and light” cars are still fat and heavy compared to the cars I loved as a growing gearhead. My buddy spent MONTHS agonizing over a dozen new sports and muscle cars he could have bought (he eventually settled on a brand new Camaro SS if you’re wondering). …

This is how taxi drivers merge in Japan. Though they don’t actually lean all the way out the window. But they do wave their begloved arms out the window to work their way in to traffic.

Is that a bus, racing a GT-R, racing minivans? It is? Sometimes Japan knows how to car culture better than America.
