Jalopnik should do a kickstarter to build our own racetrack. By car guys, for car guys. DO IT!

Take a Maxima, put the GT-R 4wd system and double clutch gearbox, drop in an NA VQ37(Twin turbo for higher output models), then make it an estate. Done. Call it the Stagea or something.
On the Northern State Parkway(same goes on a few other exits on NSP), theres this one, which doesn't appear to have any number going eastbound, but westbound its 29a. The streetview pic does it little justice, but you barely see the almost complete 90 degree turn on this exit till you get half way through the bridge.…
The ramp leading to 80 at the end of the bridge is almost as bad, i know because i've been following that route to get to 78 since i was 15 and i still occasionally get funnelled into 1/9 to 80 anyway, what a mess.
My 87 E30. Bought it 2 years ago for 1500 bucks, DD'd it for about 6 months before the headgasket bit the dust, spent another year and a half on and off fixing(bodging) it back into life. Between lack of funds, GT Academy, and looking for jobs, it spent a long time sitting. Just got it working again last week.
All 4…
Its got such a cute little woobie face! And it talks!
My respect for all the engines on this list is boundless. So much so that i have considered swapping my M20 for several of them. Coming from a Jeep family, the 4.0 strait six has earned my respect for running into 200k and even 300k miles on some of the family mobiles. And yes, i know BMW sort of has this category…
THIS!!!!!! We need to see more rally special stages taking place in quarrys. They dont use them on weekends anyway, and they offer such a unique set of challenges. The people using the quarry win due to making extra money on weekends having the quarry used, the spectators win for having new, unique, and interesting…
Was it the same one that they drove on Roadkill? It looks nearly similar.
Crap! Beat me to it. Literally the first thing that came to mind. At least Jebediah wasn't on board at the time.
Import Alliance Spring Meet. Happened in April.
I cant tell if they are all 'car culture just isnt the same, REAL car culture is dead' or they legitimately think its dead. Either way, they couldn't be more wrong.
Teenagers would hang out at the drive through, but their cars are too low to get up the driveway.
All jokes aside, the meets, and the car culture, are very much alive. Street racers still meet at gas stations, their favorite mountain pass, or whatever their local usual spot is. The landscape has changed, but car…
Just so long as it isnt 410hp to the front wheels. AWD or this could get awkward. Totally awesome in my book though.
Harry's is hit or miss sometimes. One weekend i scored an E30 BBS front valance for 20 bucks(found several for sale for nearly 200-400). Plus so many cool cars i've seen scattered about the ruins, Fiat 128, 1st gen Focus RS, Volvo P1800, Datsun 510... Saw some cars i couldn't believe were there. If you live nearby,…
