I’m right there with you. I always read the entire manual of any car I have ever purchased or have been interested in. Any car you buy since 2000 or so has a whole host of ridiculous features THAT YOU PAID FOR, so you might as well know how to use them.

I dropped my E39 M5 off the jack stands and cracked the front bumper in half. I’m lucky that was the only damage. The brake rotors held up the bulk of the weight of the car so nothing else got blown up. The worst part is that I was jacking up the rear to do the sway bar end links and I could have just lowered the…

As and Aerodynamics engineer who works with Computational Fluid Dynamics every day, I can’t cringe at these simulations hard enough.

The Cascadia is much bigger and heavier than the M2. Weight matters.

I was considering buying it so I could show up to all the Ford GT meets. It will be the ultimate trailer queen. Never driven, just love the look of it.

This was my first assumption as well. Heating fuel is not uncommon at all in industrial settings. Back then, every engine was basically an industrial installment mounted to wheels so I’m not surprised they would use some of the same techniques.

I don’t know why it sounds so boring, because this is the same exact engine:

I think this is indicative of Toyota’s disconnect with enthusiasts. They don’t understand that only interesting cars need teasers. Furthermore they don’t understand what an interesting car is.

Dodge Colt Vista. Can’t remember the year for the life of me since I was 12. Ours looked almost exactly like this one, dents and all.

My wife and I were out on weekend vacation on the Oregon Coast a few years back. We headed out to one of the State Parks to go for a quick hike, and I must not have been paying attention to the fuel gauge as we drove out on the access road. When we got back into the Mazdaspeed3 we had at the time, the range said “2…

Those small cars are fun and all, but how about the best selling commercial truck on the market?

My E39 M5 is currently sidelined while I wait for a water pump pulley that decided it would rather explode than drive my water pump. This marks the 4th time the M5 has left me stranded since I bought it last September. The other 3 times were a burst radiator end tank, a burst high pressure oil line and a dead…

My E39 M5 is black with the caramel leather in the top pic. I really hate the wood trim on the E39(feels cheap and looks cheap), but the full caramel makes it much more bearable. The worst offenders are the shifter and brake handle. Every time I grab them I feel like I am grabbing a goddamn Mattel toy. I fully intend…

I’m still trying hard to get one. It’s what I plan to replace my E39 M5 with if I can’t somehow keep them both.

Heyo! Thanks for the link. I got so many notifications. It’s like Christmas!

Last week, you say?

No way, these are so cool. Especially when you’re doing an awesome, ultra-luxury burnout.

Ebay.

This seems like the ultimate first bike to me. Well, it’s the one I’ve had my eyes on since I started looking. Enough power to keep you interested, but not enough to be surprisingly dangerous. If you weigh much more than 200lbs. this seems like a way better starter than a 250.

My spare car is a ‘93 Tercel with the 3 speed automatic. GOOD LORD, is that thing abysmal to drive. It doesn’t come with a tachometer, but I’m pretty sure that was a strategic decision. When you get on the highway, 65 mph really sounds like 4ooo rpm. I got it up to 75 once (you have to stand on it) and I swear to god…
