Mitsubishi EVO. Already has the AWD and rally prowess to keep you moving. And turbo boosts for speed and power.

Dear lord, who in their right mind would buy this? There is literally nothing left of the car, it’s just a pile of ash. It has a cash value of naught.

They do have rules about how much of the original car must remain. Basically, the sheetmetal between the shocktowers must remain unmodified, except for the addition of safety gear (rollcage, firewalls, etc). Suspension pickup points must remain factory. As far as drivetrain, they do allow the use of quick change…

I don’t know how Toyota was able to sneak this one past the Formula Drift tech guys, but I’m glad they did. Love these FWD to RWD conversions.

Going back to Lucas Speedway would require Brian France to admit he was wrong about something. AND BIG BRIAN IS NEVER WRONG.

F1 had three goals coming into the new season. 1) Laptimes decreased by 5-6 seconds. 2) Better looking cars. 3) A better show. Let’s review these:

I feel like this is more what happens when your science education comes from Jenny McCarthy. At least Bill Nye has an actual engineering degree.

I disliked the new segments with Mike in the garage. Not so much because he was there but because it was clearly poorly scripted. “Oh good, Edd isn’t around I’ll have a go.” If they want Mike in the show more, just have him work with Edd! Why go through the trouble of staging this nonsense?

I fixed the front bumper on my Mazdaspeed 3 exactly the way Edd did on the episode with the BMW 850. Cost me only $20 and a long afternoon. So much cheaper and quicker compared to buying a new bumper, fitting it, and getting it painted to match 8 year old paint. I would have never known you could glue plastic back…

Typical Hollywood. They see a hit, don’t understand what made it enjoyable, then squeeze every penny of profit out of it. TBH, the first “American” season of WD was pretty bad. You could see exactly where Velocity’s influence took hold. Rewatch the Chevy Luv episode. They claimed to leave the body on the frame to…

Hell, just look at Roadkill and Mighty Car Mods. Two shows grown on YouTube that get a million views in a week or two.

If they’re getting rid of the intensive how-to tech what’s the point? It would be like TG getting rid of the hosts and the cheap car challenges AND the track segments. You get news and celebrity interviews and there are plenty better places to get that.

Basically Velocity wants to remove the entire reason for watching Wheeler Dealers. Sorry to Mike, but aside from the trouble spots he seemed to look for, watching the shopping/haggling/sales process was boring and inconsequential. You knew the car would have problems, you knew he would deal down, and you knew they…

Liberty is keeping him around for a rainy day. They know tracks are going to be prepared to fight back hard when it’s time to set up new hosting deals. If the tracks push Liberty too hard...they just whip out Old Man Bernie. Liberty is going to have a hard time making the same strong arm negotiations Bernie did, so…

Added fish eye mirrors to my side view mirrors. For $7 and 2 minutes of work, you gain a huge field of view. They eliminated blind spots and even allow you to see parking space lines: perfect if you’re driving a largish truck or SUV all the time, even more so if you don’t have a backup camera.

Clearly you haven’t had to dig through a 90's wiring harness or dealt with a misfire that isn’t showing up as a CEL. I’ll take the older 60's stuff for “easy to wrench on” any day of the week. Carbs are easy to work on and much easier to diagnose than EFI. EFI only gets easier when the fault check system actually…

Painted DeLorean = crashed DeLorean. Almost always the case, mileage be damned. Pretty car, but if you’re going to be asking the price it needs to be bone stock.

The 300C came out in ‘04 on the LX platform. My mistake for calling it the LM. Also my mistake for stating it was a decade old: the suspension, firewall, floor, and rear end were all taken from the W220 Mercedes chassis, which came out in 1998.

Chrysler won’t be able to update this platform until 2020. The first LM platforms came out in 2004, and that platform was already a decade old Mercedes chassis. So all of these special editions are a desperate attempt to keep the model relevant until Chrysler can actually replace it. For the next three years, be…

I think it’s more worrying that the bus wears the license plates of the cars it presumably murders. Is that like scalping someone? or stealing their dog tags? Either way that’s some Mad max shit right there.
