My statement was indicating that it seems the design is defective not the manufacture-as Ford and Getrag would be enforcing quality control on their manufacturer. I worked in a company that got very complex castings from China- we checked them and after about 18 months got a weird batch that were way out of spec- it…

It’s by far one of the best looking BMW’s of the modern era, if not ever. I’ve considered buying another one as a fun car.

I like to joke that the the 3 series, specifically the E36/E46 are the Silvia/240sx of Europe which is why my username has a ‘Sort of’ attached to it.

Auto start/stop on a manual. Gross

The duel clutch: Not just a small, fashionable handbag for carrying your 18th century matched pistols any more!

Thought you can follow and see the evolution starting with the E36, I think the E46 was the last car that still represented what BMW was.  I sort of lost interest after that.  They are now amazingly cheap, if you think today's car is an outlier for low price, you haven't been looking.  Still, this one looks pretty…

“Toyota Still Thinks Hydrogen Fuel Cells Are The Future”

Once hydrogen can be produced cheap and efficently, battery EV will be a thing of the past.

Toyota Mirai curb weight (2wd, 151hp): 4,075 lbs

A black plate. Like absolutely no state actually has (well, California has the optional retro black plates, but that’s about it).

Good Lord! I need a palate cleanser after seeing that! 

“Our team in Japan searches tirelessly to find only the best, most mechanically sound examples of the classic JDM vehicles you know and love. Then we steal them.“

Oh, cool. Another faux racist complaint. I knew Lana would get in trouble for this for naming names, and perhaps she even did that to get press. We all know the ire it draws. She’s criticizing top 40 hits, which have glorified similar bullshit for years and years - used to be Madonna and Britney. She’s citing who had…

“she felt compelled to throw a bunch of black women under the bus” or do you think its because the women she named are all in the billboard top 50.

Well, Bill Gates ripped-off an actual coder, so your idea that he was ever somehow “on the technical side” is disingenuous, at best.

You know, I don’t get all judge-y over “alternative” folks being all alternative (my feeling is: to each their own so long as it doesn’t negatively affect anyone else), but I will call out pretentious, idiotic bullshit when I see it. I see it here...in spades...and in droves. I’m sick of rich assholes seeking…

I am dejected because as soon as I read the headline, my mind started ridiculously screaming “LINCOLN TOWN CAR CLOCK! LINCOLN TOWN CAR CLOCK!” I had to post it so that my mind would stop rambling on about it.

I’m one of the few who voted NP, and it’s a firm stance that I have. I’m a sucker for a car with a story, or something unique. In my time I’ve actually never owned a vehicle of a brand that’s still present on the US market. Perhaps this will explain my delusional lust for automotive oddities. However, disregarding all…

I was ready to crack pipe this, instant CP, but the build is one for the ages, two 500 c.i. caddy v-8s and El Dorado drivetrains in a Yugo. Looks well executed, have to admire the idea and the execution.  Slow hand clap, nice price.

Tl;dr: But I have to assume the procedure is as follows...

This is about 30,000 Tyrone Biggums levels of CP.
