My greatest surprise, though it was through no fault but my own, was with my Porsche 944 Turbo/951. I had put on an aftermarket turbo, which on these cars is located underneath a long, curving aluminum intake that sweeps from the head on the passenger side all the way over to the driver’s side, and things were going…

Started working on an old Camping World truck a couple years ago, and found this message written on the chassis.... The Truck is 15 years old, but luckily this didn’t turn out to be an omen and we gave the boss a couple decent finishes with the truck.

I drove a 340 DL with the 1.7 Renault engine a couple of times, and I can certainly see how it’d do well at rallycross.

Saw the title, didn’t even need to see the argument. Of course you can be an enthusiast. If the only car you own is a Prius, you can be an enthusiast. Being an enthusiast isn’t about the car you own, it’s about the cars you want to drive.

This is going to be unpopular. I wrote in Oppo yesterday that enthusiasm equates to effort, both from manufacturers and buyers. If you’re not making any effort, you’re not an enthusiast.

You limp dicks on this site are right up there with some of the most self righteous group of try-hard motherfuckers anywhere on the internet. Only you give a shit about being right, here. I’m just egging you on because I can, you fucking nerd. Like any normal, well-adjusted person cares this much about something so…

Pose for the camera. ;D

Here ya go, with the cars under my desk at work:

I want a rally car that corners like a rally car.

The Tucker 48. One of the first vehicles to put safety at the forefront of its design. Notable features:

I don’t think this suggestion is as good as the EV1, or some of the others here, but having owned a Subaru SVX when they first came out, they were way ahead of the curve with styling and features, all in an expensive, luxury sport coupe. It was weird, but it was awesome.

Car based not-particularly-utilitarian 4x4 runabouts?

Pontiac, it would be years before the hideous fast roof suv became accepted.

Too soon...

I’ve been nice and naughty. :D

Thinking people don’t want a PT Cruiser covertible.

Exhibit 1A in the case that the word “hipster” is just code for “people who aren’t like me and have better taste than I do.”

actually, this article has led me to point out a gripe I've seen with you fellow jalops. Yea, I respect most of you for knowing so much about cars, and it's cool that there is a lot of knowledge here, but the reason I joined this site was because of the awesomeness manifasto (read it here [jalopnik.com] Here it states…
