Visiting Colorado now. Worst parts? The city roads (at least in Denver) are horrible (you’d think they could put that marijuana tax money to good use). Best parts? They’ve got some cool cars here. Too bad about the bear ripping out the patina one’s interior :(
You and me both. I scored 199/200 in the tests (it was all in the rain, too) and originally did it so I could ride in my friend’s charity ride...but it’s been over a year and I have yet to hop on a bike. Needless to say, my mom is happy about it...
Mine is already smaller than the smallest Miata...Anything smaller probably requires a helmet.
“What did you do that totally transformed your car?”
Another Murtaya—Preferably a left hand drive one and already on this side of the world....but I think there are only four, so the odds aren’t good. :(
Thanks so much for this write-up. I’ve been looking into lifts and found the same thing you did: reviews tended to just be trashing on the competition more than anything, and as such, it’s hard to get a read on which ones were actually good. This looks like a legit setup; I was hoping to get a lift that would also…
I was lucky enough to meet him and see his car a while back (my car is the black one at the right side of the pic). Good guy, and awesome car—and it only had the four cylinder back then but was still a sight to see.
A blue one, yeah:
I’m trying to figure out how legal it is to wrap my rollbar with Christmas lights...It doesn’t look promising: supposedly white lights aren’t allowed to be seen from behind the car, red from the front (which all makes sense), green (or blue?) lights were reserved, neon lights are not allowed, etc. This was for WA…
I’ve been curious about this. I’d like to think that whatever is eventually born becomes more than the sum of its original parts. Take frankencars like this: while it was originally an STi Type-R, it’s now even better thanks to parts from multiple USDM STis, an Evo, Porsche, Rover, Ford, and even a GM truck. At…

They’re still out there; you just have to look harder for them because they’re usually hiding behind the gigantic normal cars, Miatas, Minis, etc.:
It’s easy to make cars look small next to big trucks...how about when they’re next to regular cars:
I can see #1...This is the last Subaru car show I went to. Guess which of these two cars won the award:
My favorites:
The answer is always: a male miata
Not a mirrored image. Makes me cross-eyed every time I look at it.
Yes, I remember the good ol’ days of put-cartridge-in-press-power-and-play. And I still often wish things were like that…but there are reasons things are changing, and it’s not all bad. I tried to think up of plus and minuses of the old (say, NES/SNES days vs. today’s systems).
I’m glad I’m not the only one who worries he’s been spoiled for all other cars. I think this one has spoiled me...The 500hp Supra, 3000GT VR-4 Spyder 6-speed, RX7 FD, E39 M5, 2007 RS4, Sky redline, Ecoboost Mustang, Evo, STi, modified WRXes, S2000, 300ZX, 350Z, etc. that I’ve been fortunate enough to drive don’t seem…
