Nice. Yeah I totally built my car myself and most of the parts are JDM imported. Glad you are keeping his STI going, they are amazingly enjoyable to drive and have one of the best 6 speeds ever made.
I could never understand why you’d willingly sacrifice transmitted power, precision control and gas-mileage in favour of a slushy, unresponsive and unpredictable system
I normally drive a 1994 Peugeot 205, with only electric windows as a ‘feature’, and maybe its rear wiper... No auto assists of any kind, only a 4-cylinder and a 5-speed mt.
Why is this relevant?
Because I practically fall asleep driving my parents’ Volvo with cruise control, a sat nav, and power steering. That is how…
Can they get all the goddamned microchips out of them? There’s a shortage, you know?
He’d feel right at home with the high gasoline prices, that’s for sure.
I’d argue the Challenger doesn’t need a facelift. Part of the reason it still looks so good is that it started with a pretty timeless design, and then the few tweaks it has had are relatively small, which mean the earlier ones don’t immediately look super dated.

Agreed. But you’re talking about literally every form of fandom. People lose their shit over a movie they saw as a kid. It’s insanity.
It appears that the salesman bought the car from the dealership and had an outstanding loan on it when he “sold” it to the kid. Whoever held the note likely secured a lien when they sold it to the salesman.
This is straight up witchcraft.
It was mentioned that the roll could be so slight that without visual clues it wouldn’t be noticed till it got more extreme. They were flying at night and lack spacial awareness is notorious.
It's as loud as it looks. Unfortunately it overheats almost immediately due to the fact that the radiator can't keep up.
You are not “that guy”. This was a shit article just for the clicks.
This was a really well written response. Totally agree with you man. Good perspective.
I think the problem is not the cars themselves, but their associated fandoms.
Point out any of the actual problems that any of these cars on this list had to them, and prepare to give blood. Each of them are good cars, certainly peaks in the history of the automobile, but to hear each group of enthusiasts tell it, it’s…
