To give 1st-Generation New Mini’s a fair shake, they offered a “Chrono Package” which entirely too few people took advantage of. It removed the giant central speedometer and replaced it with a gauge cluster featuring functional analogue Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Coolant Temp, and Fuel gauges. The speedometer was…
Yeah, I've done quite a lot of research on them and I definitely want to get one.
I want a WRX sportback. But I prefer the styling, lower insurance premiums, and lack of boy-racer image of the Saab.
I have made a vow that a Sabb 9-2x Aero will be part of my garage before I turn 30. I will find a way, dammit!
My fiancee and I have been searching for an XT or H6 version of one of these for ages and we have had no luck whatsoever finding one of this generation, with either of those engines, for less than $14k, and that's on the extremely low end. Low-mileage, clean examples go for damned near $20k. So frustrating when we're…
What about lifting a car? I'd like to list my 1991 Audi 80 Quattro by an inch or two for some rallycross duties and I'm not having much luck finding resources that don't focus on lowering cars.
I'm curious about the suspension mentioned. To be honest, the Corolla has the foundation for a decently fun car. It's a small car with a free-revving engine, a 6-speed manual, not a ton of weight for a modern car. All that's keeping it from being a legitimately fun car (for what it is) is a better suspension and some…
Just Google "My Crappy Saturn Ruined My Life".
Hope he had a loose grip on the wheel, otherwise I imagine he might be sporting a couple of broken wrists.
Elvis is back, boys!
I used to have a 1997 Saturn SC2. It had a lot of problems. A lot. I mean a lot. But probably the ones that resulted in the best Fix-It stories were:
1) The shift linkage on those cars were notorious for breaking. I didn't know this, however, until after mine broke and I did some research. When it broke, I was on my…
I think it's hideous, but I am thankful they lowered the headlights. My car's fairly low-slung and is a hatchback, so the old trucks always blinded me if they were behind me, even if they only had their low-beams on.
What I'm taking away from this is that if I ever want to get offered a job at Jalopnik, I need to get better at offending large swaths of people all at once.
I didn't know you have a Mini too, Patrick!
TWINSIES!
:-P
I'd pay that all day long. Same price around here gets you a rode-hard-and-hung-up-wet flat-brimmed WRX on Rotas.
Lancia Fulvia?
Fancier Vulva.

Who says you need a Subaru for snow hoonage?
