As a Forester XT owner: Crack. Pipe. Yes it’s clean, yes it’s well maintained, yes it’s got the right STI go-fast bits, no it’s not a good deal. As others have stated; the stock 5speed is inferior to the 6. The 6MT is heavier for a reason, and the reason is strength. 5-cog Fozzies aren’t the ticking time bomb WRX’s…

“Heartbreaking-ly meh” is how I’d describe it.

My grandpa is doing this with his ‘08 300, and I’m waiting for it to bite him. A guy he knows from their church wanted a “decent car he could drive out of town with”, as his current cars are falling apart. I’ve been told he’s got between 3-5 cars that are in various stages of disrepair. So he gives my old man a sob…

One part that caught my eye...

Huh... Virginia did it the other way around. The main routes connecting Norfolk & Portsmouth consist of two tunnels (Downtown & Midtown). Long story short; a private company took over the tunnels and put tolls on them. The majority of people who refuse to pay the tolls by opting to take the long way around…

Everyone dies eventually, but Alzheimer’s has taken too many great people to be allowed to continue. Here’s to a cure.

One caveat with the MR2: tall drivers CAN fit, but not comfortably. My buddy (rockingthe2) has one, and while it has more storage space than any car that size had a right to boast, 6' 2" is pretty much the height limit. I’m 6'4", and have been in this car several times; 1 hour is about my limit before I need to get…

I don’t normally comment on Jezebel posts, but I’ve been following this creepy clown issue since it started. I keep telling people, there’s really only one way to stop the psychotic clowns...

People also have responsibilities to know that they’re walking into dangerous situations where unfortunate things can happen. I could see your point if no safety precautions were taken at the track, but that’s why there’s a catch fence and other barriers. As I mentioned above, if there was a known fault with the catch…

I guess what I’m not understanding is your point B. How one can expect to be 100% safe in row 6 when there are cars going by at 200 mph? Unless there was a known fault with the catch fence design AND a better alternative was available, I can’t really grasp at how anyone was at fault.

Maybe it’s different for every track, but in the two Cup races (Charlotte & Martinsville) and every short track I’ve been to, you sign a document that I’ll paraphrase as saying “I understand racing is dangerous and bad shit can happen to me even though I’m not on the race track”. Does Daytona not have this, or is our…

Seriously... they haven’t even announced it yet, have they?

Not sure in his case, but it’s not unheard of. My wife’s student loan payments total around $1100/month. It’s what happens when you get halfway through a 4-year degree and change majors. Add in things like living assistance loans, and you’ve racked up a pretty health total.

When they first released the C5 Z06, Car & Driver did a piece about it being named after Zora Duntov’s original creation. For some dumb reason, my teenage brain read “Zora” as “Zero”, so I read the car’s name as “Zero Six”. Now I call them “zee-aught-six” just to piss people off.

It’s out there...

I laughed SO HARD at this. Pokémon Go’s launch issues brought me back to Pokémon Yellow (which I never originally beat). Relearning all the types & attacks and the general nostalgia really had an effect when the wife wanted to watch the first season on Netflix. It’s hard to refrain from screaming “you fucking…

Valor & Mystic have been going back and forth in my area for days, but there’s this ONE gym that’s at a car dealer (of all things) that’s consistently stayed with Instinct. The only reason I can think of is that people don’t want to deal with the sales folks...

I had a ‘94 Trooper for years. That beast was great in many ways, but I never understood the logic behind the 70/30 doors. Most “split doors” allow you to open the smaller one first in order to throw something small in the back quickly. Not in the Trooper’s case!

For me, the answer is C5 Corvette.

THANK YOU! Now I have the perfect thing to show people when they ask me why I mod my cars!
