I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that a 12 year old could drive better than most Long Islanders. So odds are he just blended in with the rest of the terrible drivers.

Random tire blowouts at 65+. Logically i know i’d be okay in terms of saving it, and the likelihood of it happening is low. But irrationally i think one of my rear tires will blow out and ill suddenly become a 2800 pound hockey puck at a moments notice on the Pulaski Skyway and fly off on some movie shit.

Exactly. Nice turn of the cheek after dieselgate, amirite?

Just so long as they don’t lie about range or the untold environmental damage the battery-making process causes, they could make electric tricycles for all the fuck i care.

Same when i worked for Subaru. If a being a helicopter mom who worries about her kids safety on the way to soccer practice is a ‘sporty’ activity, then sure, the new Outback is ‘Sporty.

Welcome to industry buzzwords! Where everything is made up and the cars don’t matter.

I miss my touring! Suspension, vanos, and cooling system not withstanding. BMW motors never die, all of the supporting systems like sensors and cooling shit is always their downfall. I ran a 98 328i at Club Loose for 30 strait laps with zero coolant in the motor, after that it lost power, wouldnt idle, was leaking oil…

We get a ton of orders for the 20 and 22R motors. So long as you get the WK746 and not the ‘outlaw 38' kit with the big carb, i’ve heard some of our callers say it runs great compared to whatever stock Hitachi jobber that comes on there stock. Power and fuel economywise its way better, especially if they are jetted…

I work for a company that sells Weber Carburetors. Our most popular kit is the WK551 for Jeep 4.2s. 90 percent of our calls are people who cant figure out to do with x vaccuum line, how to make x throttle linkage work with y throttle cable, high altitude and other jet related issues, and rebuild kits.

I concede that…

Longevity. Aside from the cooling system, they really just keep going. I’ve had 4 in the family that soldiered on well past 300k miles before they either outlasted the chassis, the transmission... Or in my fathers case, the owner themselves. Sure a Mercedes diesel, Toyota or Honda 4 banger, or BMW M50 may attest to…

Dual vanos solenoids and chain guides on a 98 528i. You know a job is bad when you invent profanity as you go.

Just because Jeep refused to retire an engine for 44 years doesn’t mean all 90s cars are easy to work on. I love the 4.0 in my 92 just as much as the next Jeep nerd, but lets not lie to ourselves as if its a 90s product. The EFI was lipstick on a pig. A loveable friendly pig that outlives most of its owners, but a pig…

As the internet would say “When you see it, you’ll shit bricks”

‘Lucid Air’ sounds like what Rockstar Games would call it if they had to parody a Tesla in a Grand Theft Auto game.

I miss mine(left). 800 bucks of 4wd hoonage and rust. Those cars definetly have a charm all their own. Im a BMW guy, but i’d definetly try and find a 2.5RS in the future. For sure an enthusiast experience.

BMW dudes know what these are. I think E34s had them way back in the Early 90s.

New cars are good to live with, but they arent exciting(few exceptions). Old cars are exciting, but they are terrible to live with(fewer exceptions).

Example. I was daily driving my E30(325es), as you do if your a broke car enthusiast. In a straight line, my moms Jeep Compass was not only faster in a straight line, but…

NOSTALGIA BOMB INCOMING

Also the Scighera. Italdesign pens the supercar the world doesnt know it needs yet.

Italdesign has been designing cars manufacturers should have built pretty much forever. The Nazca and Cala spring to mind (im a 90s kid sue me).
