Someday when I’m no longer working at my current job I’ll be telling some insane stories about subprime car lending. I have lost any faith I ever had in people. The bottom of the barrel is terrifying.

As a person who works in deep subprime auto lending, I will inform everyone that people will do absolutely insane things that don’t include paying for a car. From a lenders perspective, at least with a voluntary repo we might get the car back. People will hide cars, drive them off the repo truck, cause catastropic…

You know what else had a twin turbo V6? The goddamn Jaguar XJ220 which was for a time the fastest production car in the world. Cylinder counts are fun, but if it makes power and doesn’t weigh a ton, it’s better for the car.

My dad just got a 2013 Outback a few months ago. It’s a great cruiser, has tons of space, and gets better than SUV fuel economy. It’s not a great drivers car but it has its charms. The 2015s seem even better. Definitely at least test drive one.

924 with an Olds Quad4 engine? Or would that ultimately be more reliable? Maybe swap a Mercruiser I-4 marine engine in it? That might be interesting

My parents just picked up a 2013 Outback Limited. I thought I would hate it but it’s actually pretty nice. Doesn’t really like to be hustled but it is a great highway cruiser and manages to average 28-30mpg even when driven by a yob like me. It’s certainly more enjoyable than a similarly sized SUV and has acres of…

Dear Nissan,

With that big hole in the roof, all my junk mail is going to get wet.

As someone from Pennsyltucky I can confirm that in between those cities, it's mostly redneck hell with small pockets resembling civilization.

I wish they would plunk a 1.0L with about 80-100 HP in some of these weird Kei cars and bring them to the states. Specifically I want a Honda S660. But Kei Vans are so rad I would actually probably consider one. I know they won't sell here because 'Muricans hate small weird cars, but I can dream.

I test drove one and immediately fell in love. Excellent 6 speed manual, rev happy engine, and more space that a car that size should have inside. It's what the Civic was 15 years ago, but better because its new and has a warranty. It's a terrific little car. I may ultimately end up buying one. If Honda made an SI…

I have a really weird love for crazy late 70s / early 80s fiberglass body kits and mods. Super wide body stuff. Take this C3 Vette for instance. I know it's a terrible car, but it just looks so mean. I'd rather have super deep dished basket weave wheels but still. Even more so for huge fender IMSA style cars. Oh…

Alfa Romeo V-6. Since the Ford/Yamaha SHO motor was already taken...

While I hate Ohio State with the passion that only someone who grew up within spitting distance of Happy Valley can, ridding the world of one more hateful little Smart car is a real service to humanity. So cheers OSU. Word's I never thought I would say...

The Cental Pa dive bar in question is The Cellblock in Williamsport PA. I've been in there once. Never again. NEVER AGAIN.

I'm reasonably sure I know the guy who owns this car, and he loves it a lot, and I almost respect that.

This is far better Jeep blasphemy. I have a weird love of dropped Jeeps. I had dreams in high school of building a ProStreet XJ Cherokee. Huge tubbed rear end with 15 in wide slicks and little skinny tires up front. Figured you could build a blown stroker motor from the 4.0L and make good power. Anyone who's driven a…

Presumably a ratchet shift setup like you see on drag cars.

This is a better replacement for the Jeep Cherokee XJ than anything Jeep has made since then. Want. Bad. I'd almost sell mine XJ for one. And mine is this one.
