Oh no .... it has a hint of 90s Mercury Cougar.

Hahaha! Greatness.  

Yes! I had this very same color Celica GT notch back. The first time I saw one I thought that is the ugliest car in the world and I would rather walk than own one. I found myself in desperate need of a cheap car and my brother called me and said he had bought this Toyota from a guy because just it was near perfect and…

My friend bought a Grand Cherokee V8 a tree fell on for $500. It was mechanically sound so he gutted it, cut the roof off and installed roll cage. It’s got some sketchy racing seats and harnesses in it and is a total death trap but it is shockingly fast with half it’s weight gone and hilarious fun to drive. Makes you…

No V8 because adding AWD to that already ridiculously heavy coupe and a massive v8 would create a gravitational pull strong enough to suck in birds and small scooters.

How noticeable is the weight loss?

Funny ... I feel safer on my Ducati than in a tiny car. I think it’s because my face isn’t sitting at the same level as most pickup trucks trailer hitch.

Small is scary. I once had an ‘03 Club Sport Miata and the first time I took the thing out on the freeway I was like, OMG ... I am going to die!!! I felt like a mouse in a room full of elephants.

Why does it look like a minivan-camino?

My first motorcycle was a Ninja ZX7R. That should say it all. I still remember my head sliding across the asphalt long enough for me to actually think “I am really glad I am wearing a helmet” as I watched my bike slide off road through gravel and into a ditch. Memories.

Don’t worry, it will break soon and you won’t be able to find parts to fix it.

I think half the doctors here in central OR drive Subarus with roof racks .... of course, so do 60% of Oregonians. I think the natural progression from the Monte Carlo is a slightly used Cadillac CTSV coupe. Uncommon and a little offbeat.

Only 25 MPH winds? That only looks dangerous if you are not a kitesurfer. I am a kitesurfer. 25 MPH is lit but nothing extreme in the kite world.  Average air even. Perspectives are a funny thing.

Still … I auto crossed a US Spec ‘95 M3 for 3 years in BSP and despite it’s general lack of power set up correctly on modest Bilstien PSS9 coil-overs combined with as much weight as I could strip off, it was still one of, if not the most enjoyable car to drive fast I have ever owned. I have had everything from a club…

The face on that tractor would be the stuff of farm kids nightmares. I can see little johnny looking out his window at night. He gazes into that autonomous tractor’s hateful demonic face as it sits silently, screaming in the pale moonlight. He swears it’s beckoning him. Come out here boy…come. I’ll take care of you…

1968 Cadillac Eldorado. I have this weird dream about converting one into an EV car, tinting the windows really dark and just silently cruising through the city streets on cloudy days. Shhhhhhhhhheeeewwwwwwwww………..

Reminds me of …

Chris Harris because he is just fun to watch be Chris Harris. Any time we saw the new hosts real personality come out and the forced script go away. That’s what I loved about Jermey, Hammond and James, they seemed to be just being themselves and have cameras on them. The new British Top Gear has a lot of American Top…

Yeah …. I had this very thing happen to me but it was two pieces of really thick 4'X8' rigid insulation that was strapped together. It ripped the ski rack off of some dudes Subaru and came flying straight into my lane like a hockey puck. I went right over it at 55 MPH. I literally caught air. Luckily I was in my…
