What Porsche doesn’t do is align the tire on the rim to have “Michelin” directly above the top of the Porsche crest. I once had a tire shop mount a set of new tires in that alignment. I’m so OCD, I call it CDO, which is OCD in alphabetical order.

I just want to say after now following Jalopnik for over a year...the articles written by the Jalopnik women are great and well written. I’m sorry I didn’t pay more attention in my high school English classes so I could have done good two. All this car talk really brakes me up.
Wh was this filmed?
I see Smokey but I don’t see the Bandit.
The 1964 VW Bug came with 40 hp (gross hp). It had a factory rating that stated the maximum and cruising speed of 68 mph. My 1962 VW Bug had the same engine and with a slight tailwind on level ground, it would touch 70 mph. Downhill was about 80-82 mph. Uphill more like 50 mph on the highway.
$64K for an Integra?...no way. Now maybe $64K for a 1994 Acura Vigor with a 5-cylinder engine. Now we’re talking.
It would have been cheaper to keep the old limos and build a wall around them. Then have Mexico pay for the wall.
I would love to have my penis signed....as long as her name was very short....he he.
Does that mean all the blinker fluid leaks out?
To get good people into the Trump Administration, I think people are going about it all wrong. People are just bashing Trump...and Trump thrives on negativity. He loves to tell everyone how smart he is and how wonderful he is, so what we need to do is play to his “strengths”. We need to say things like: “How can Mr.…
Number 2...I was really down in the dumps today but this article wiped the frown off my face. Tanks to all. I didn’t mention Number 1 since it was a pisser of a day.
Every Type R badge is good for at least 6 hp. The car originally was to have just 300 hp, but one of the engineers during the final review added one more sticker, hence 306 hp. If I buy one, I’ll add 4 more Type R stickers so the car will peak out at 330 hp. Take that Mustang!
My very first car was a 1962 VW Beetle with the cloth sunroof. Bought it used in 1969 with only 29,000 miles for $300. It took me back and forth from Boston to LA to go to college. It ran like a top. Foot to the floor...68 mph on level ground. I made it cross-country in 3 days for a total of $48...$42 was for gas and…
I’m waiting for gasoline to hit $5/gallon again so all the crossover and SUV soccer moms can start crying about how expensive it to operate their 4500 lb vehicle that gets 12 mpg in town while idling (and barely fitting) through the latte kiosk drive-through. I really think you need to drive the new Honda Accord or a…
In my youth, I drove a 1962 VW Bug with 40 hp. 0-60 was measured in hours. I could beat most riding lawn mowers in the quarter mile. The car was rated at: “Maximum and cruising speed of 68 mph”. That’s assuming no hills and no head wind.
And to think I bought a brand new Ford Ranger in 2007 which was burning a quart of oil every 300 miles. Ford told me that was normal and just wait until the first oil change at 7500 miles. I told them that by 7500 miles, I would have added 25 quarts of oil into the truck...or the equivalent of 5 oil changes. After…
With these you need to get the Tesla breakaway windshield option. The windshield flies off when it detects a head hitting it. Your body will fly so much further without the windshield in the way.
Great items...now I want a radar detector that automatically increases the car speed to 120 mph until it picks up a cop and then slams on the brakes back to the speed limit. I hate doing it myself with my Valentine 1.
Why those kids will give zero fu*ks....If dad is worth $1 Billion, this accident will cost him 1/2000 of his net worth. 1/2000 of a commoner’s net worth of say $200,000, this is a $10 accident.
K & N filter, Tornado Air Intake, AND Vtec sticker = 40 extra horsepower
