Hopefully we load it up with butter tarts and Coffee Crisps before it flies to Ukraine.

It’s probably been stuck in Toronto, just like almost every passenger who flies through that airport. I was happy to escape that airport last year, they wanted to keep for 2 days for the first flight cancellation, then 3 days for the second one.

Fully agree. My mental math with mine is: I personally value my car at around $30k, but nobody is ever going to pay that. So I will keep the car, as it represents an amazing value to only me. It helps that the supercharger whine makes it sound like a spaceship.

Yeah, came here to say the same thing about my 2018, though my miles are similar to this one. And as much as I miss the 6MT I had in my 2012, I’ll take the added power of a Stage 1 turbo car.

That supercharger is bulletproof. The only real weak point that I’m aware of on the 3.0T is the timing chain (specifically the guides) that wear out and can cause problems for higher mileage cars. I’m pretty sure both B8s (mine) and B9s (yours) are extremely reliable. I’m also pretty sure I’ll get corrected if I’m…

The last new car sold in the US with a carburetor was the 1993 Subaru Justy with the 1.2l 3-cylinder engine.

There were no 1960 Edsels produced in calendar year 1960

My mother passed like 10 years ago and going through the stuff we found a small folder with some of her family history. We found like 2 pages of stuff about a guy and turns out we had a automobile company in the family. It was the early 1900s, so of course it didn’t last, but one ran in the Indy 500 and apparently the…

You mean, Bender Bending Rodriguez?

Exactly what I was going to say.

I love it. These right wing chuds have been doing the same things for decades and are now clutching their pearls on their fainting couches because someone did it against them. 

...but Rush wrote an instrumental about it!

Just remembered. There’s something closer to ideal available.

I fail to see the problem.

I dig it, like the Rally Fighter, except instead of raiding a parts bin they bought some cheap 3D printers and went for it.

I apologize in advance, and I think I’ll have to go into hiding for this one, but y’all are missing the obvious one:

Yikes. I drove an MR2 Turbo in college and some guy in a CR-Z at the local car meets would always tell me he would definitely smoke me.

Stop lying everyone, you’re only lying to yourself.

Not about cars, but this makes me think about bike frames.  The typical weight difference between a steel frame and a carbon frame is 2.2 lb.  So less than a healthy body’s normal weight fluctuation across a day.  People could save thousands on a frame just by taking a dump before a ride.

My response was “There were 1244 Wildcat convertibles made in 1970, there are only 16 listed in the Buick Club directory, this car is rarer than some Ferraris, get the FUCK off my property.”
