“Porsche built its first diesel ten years ago”

Yep, if either was a Hemi they’d be worth WAYYY more! 

Come to Canada Diesel is the same or less then regular. Maybe with Trump’s bullshit about us being a national security threat we should say screw it and just switch to European standards and get more of those sweet European spec cars!

Damn right, I had an 86 Trans am (and a mullet) and was from a GM family. When I needed something a little more practical I bought a Mazda B2200 and was amazed at the reliability difference. Alternators, starters and transmissions were no longer wear items to be replaced regularly! Oil stayed in the engine not coating…

My Mom has the worst taste in cars, one day a coworker got a loaner Sunfire from a garage while his car was being fixed and we spent lunch and breaks doing donuts and J turns (HA!) and neutral drop burn-outs in it. Like literally the next week my Mom shows up all proud with the car she just bought and guess what, it…

Never owned one so I’m not the one to ask, I’ve heard of issues but the forums will be your best bet. Every time I had an issue I would either find out that was a common issue on the forums or I would be one of the first and then soon after lots of other people would have the same issue. I found out my timing chain…

“We feel like mainstream entries need to have references to categories in which they compete — mainstream luxury,” Carlisle told reporters last week. “But special cars should have special names.”

R56 MINI coopers with French built motors have a bone to pick with that statement. Literally worse reliability than early 80's GM cars (which is saying something!). That Peugeot motor single handedly destroyed MINI’s reputation in North America. Failed timing chains, Failed water pumps, Leaking oil everywhere, random…

That thing had to be written off. The frame is almost certainly buckled as I have heard of Raptors bending frames during normal off roading.

When they say “dirty” they mean turbulent as in messy and unpredictable not literally “dirty”! 

In Canada they are often proximate to each other and sometimes share service bays!

Bicycle racing maybe, motorcycle racing I’ve never heard of anyone doing it and if you did you would be looking at an ass whooping at best and total ban most likely. I’ve got 20+ years around racing and never heard of anyone doing this.

4th gear FUCK Trump. I say sit tight and refuse to budge an inch. Every time he says something incendiary just ask him what Meuller thinks. Hopefully he’ll have an embolism from the rage and we can get an adult in the White house. Seriously can you guys go 25th amendment on his ass already?  

On one hand I’ve modified motorcycles to the point only the main frame spars were factory and been absolutely fine with riding them on the street, on the other hand I’m sick of seeing bro-dozers with 44" tires on splindy suspension and brakes and headlights and bumpers feet away from where they should be. I think i’m…

You’ve never been to a costco gas station I see.

I’ll be happy when I can “fill up” at home overnight. Gas stations suck with their wildly variant prices day to day and station to station and too busy nature. I’ve sat parked waiting for a pump to open longer then a supercharger probably would have taken. 

The google maps and cell phone issues are because of the heated windshield. It has tiny wires running up and down inside and they are spaced close enough to cause a faraday cage effect sufficient to block or at east weaken the signal from the cell tower (or the satellite in the case of GPS). Had a heated windshield in…

Yikes! I’m shocked they were even there in the first place! About 5-6 years ago I saw my first actual Chevy dealer in Europe (not Opel) in Amsterdam and the locals I was with made fun of the cars and said they were junk. Going to be hard to fix that viewpoint (even if they tried which given what happened with Opel…

Yeah I betting the German version has better brakes, suspension and tires then the floaty US version and if it doesn’t I bet it sold poorly. That was actually my issue with GM ditching Opel, the only decent GM cars were German or Australia developed. Cut off that resource and what do you have?  Also funny to see PSA…

I’ve been in a Touareg doing 220+, yep no issue at all.
