Yup, 3,955 lb curb weight. It’s a lot bigger in person than it looks. Also it has a true 4WD system, which isn’t light, and the frame is fully boxed, which nobody was doing 20 years ago. It’s also skid plated front and rear. The thing is really heavy duty for a small-ish (by today’s standards) SUV. But that heavy…

They actually sold around 6600 of them (4153 were sold in the US, the rest in Japan) and they only sold that many because that’s all they made. It was always going to be a short run vehicle as the tooling used to form the body panels was essentially prototype tooling.

I have two choices:

Unfortunately, the UAW has a huge upward battle because their reputation precedes them: The UAW represents every falsehood people believe about unions. The UAW’s greed nearly bankrupted GM, Ford, and Chrysler and it was only when the President himself made it clear the UAW had to take concessions that they realized…

Sir, those are clearly BFGoodrich T/A tires. Literally anyone who has ever been off-roading before knows that tire.

Too bad it’s almost certainly Palmer who will get the boot if Renault takes on Kubica.

I know it’s fun to bash on Honda, but it’s getting a bit irritating, especially when there’s a lot of information being left out here. Specifically:

I agree that this car needs to be saved (I’ve owned two Integras and LOVED them both), but it’s at least a grand too high. Sadly, these aren’t exactly rare and even one that’s in this shape just isn’t worth this much. Drop it to the $5000 range and it’s the perfect car to bring to a C&C.

All of those slashes are classic “drove on the flat because I didn’t feel like changing it.” It happens when the totally flat tire gets pinched between the rim and the ground. Why did it deflate in the first place? More than likely the fact that this tire was way past its sell-by date. I spent two summers working…

Or just be drunk, as most people are in an Uber.

Bracing for a crash is the absolute worst thing you can do. Instead of the seatbelt and airbag taking up the force of the crash, your arms and legs take it up. This is a very good way of shattering your arms and legs. It’s also a great way to get your legs trapped under the seat, or have your arm go through the…

Counterpoints:

My proposal has been to recreate the Group 5 category out of the 1980s. Silhouette racers become the top class of WEC with a defined, worldwide set of rules. This class could encompass DTM, GT500, Australian Supercars, Brazillian Stock Car, and IMSA. Silhouette racing is in need of help and I can’t think of a better…

But the paint should have dropped his heat to zero! Are you telling me Need for Speed and Grand Theft Auto have been lying to me all these years? What else are they lying about? Is it not possible to shove a rocket launcher and a dozen rifles up my own ass too???

This was supposed to be a joke about how crappy Jersey drivers are. Though having driven in Michigan enough, I agree the Michigan left is awful.

I think you missed the point where this was a sarcastic comment about how crappy Jersey drivers are and that they need a special ed way of making left turns.

I’m originally from Delaware, but I’ve driven through New Jersey plenty of times. Those jug handles save lives.

Now would be a good time to ad how useful these articles have been. Using Tom’s advice I bought my first new car in February of this year. A shiny new 2017 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. I spent a month comparing trucks (I was shopping midsize trucks only), test drove a bunch of vehicles and got hard dealer numbers. I knew…

Wait, nobody suggested the obvious answer? This is the home of Miata Is Always The Answer, and in this case it really is. Cheap, super easy to work on, can be driven daily, and is a perfect entry level track car. Plus parts are plentiful and also dirt cheap.
