It wouldn't have been so bad without the stupid Bugs Bunny grille.

Those are carbon composite.
I'm not fooled. That's a mockup, and not even a good one. Look at the brake discs with printed on calipers. Completely opaque windows and headlamps, I could go on. There have been actual photos of the car snuck in here, so why show a mockup now?
Don't overstate the long term reliability of the Tercel. I remember seeing these burning oil, and then not seeing them at all. High boost pressure would hasten that.
Strut tower brace.
I bet a brand-new 737 is as tight and rattle-free as a new Accord. They've built enough of them that it should be perfect, and continue to build them with efficient speed.
Welcome back!
Reverse: Glenn's shuttle ride was pure politics and should've been Yeager's. He didn't get a Mercury shot because he had no college degree. If a 70 year old needed to go, it should've been a slighted hero before Glenn. Not to take anything from Glenn, but we owed it to Yeager.
That's too good a laugh for me to vote CP, but there's not any way I could vote NP with my own money.
I just hope that nobody ever sells it to VW/Audi/Lamborghini themselves. We know the Euros like to crush replicas, and this deserves so much better than that.
Perhaps not the clever snark that they usually are, but I have to say #cotd. As much as the Countach is drilled into my 1977 model brain, I have to say that I'd prefer this one, too. Anyone here who doesn't at least consider the thought is probably hanging out at the wrong website.
I was hoping for a soaring "power chord" crescendo, followed by a sexy crackling underrun. Of course a testing cell is muffled, but this video was better for watching the glowing pipes than for anything that could be heard.
I couldn't submit it from work, but I expected to find this on the list.
So they basically excluded their use for a daily driver in 75% of the continental US by virtue of the road salt thing, and then proceeded to add an exclusion that could even be called upon to deny a claim if the wheels were balanced with weights that weren't included. They might as well not have a warranty. FWIW,…
Oh, if only that could happen....
That's a true statement, but there are two sides to every coin, and I'd consider aftermarket wheels on a car like this to be bad for two reasons:
I'll stick with my current ride. The Dasher is too slow and un-airconditioned for this region, and the Mitsubishi (very contrary to the article) is guaranteed to have tons of trouble. I believe that the automatic transmissions were particularly vulnerable, but show me any Mitsubishi V6 from that era that isn't…
Or this Testarossa, resplendent in Llello White with the ugly aftermarket wheels of douchey ownership. It'd be my choice of old Ferrari models, and the obvious former ownership indifference means a low price. …
Do you yell at the ice cream girl about the difference between French vanilla and regular?
No big loss WRT Mahindra. Let's not pretend that this is something that would be magically good to drive or anything like that.
