Build it! (With a Diesel!) Trololololoooooo....

I found my 1974 260Z in a Barn. Mothballs, rat-poop and all. Loved that car. Restored, modded and autoxed it. Then a dude in a Kia Rio made a turn without looking and all I have left is a keychain my friend made out of a piece of its taillight glass. Sigh.

Bugeye Sprite. Not only is it gentle, but it needs you to protect it from the big scarry world out there. Just look at that face!

You know of a car company that Doesn’t do this in one format or another?

That is the best commercial for a shitty car I’ve ever seen. (Topic for tomorow: Top 10 best commercials for shitty cars!)

Fair point...

Saw one of these in Vancouver the other day and I had to stop and watch until it was out of sight. Stunning for sure but, no manual transmission? Baloon popped. Sadface. moving on.

Not sure about the Exige, but my Elise is a thirsty little devil. (stock except exhasut/decat).

Getting pretty tired of BS fender creases from everybody these days. The front fender in particular screams Maxima. Also, is it just he perspective, or is this thing bigger than the Accord?

Target market is likely the emerging markets for lux cars (such as China) where “style points’ are amalgamated differently, let’s say.

You nailed it with the caption photo, Toyota 2000. Closely followed by the Esprit Turbo.

Minivan that can take you anywhere = Delica.

Merc W123 Diesel sedan. They tick none of my performance boxes, are far from luxury by today’s standards, expensive to fix, and good luck finding one with a manual transmission (breaking one of my own cardinal rules)...but I just want one.

Pretty much any fate beats that of the Pathfinder. The first time I saw one of the current gen I thought the cheeky/idiot owner put the name badge on as a gag.

Kimi Raikkonen of course. Nobody parties like that guy. Would just make sure I had the local emergency services number in my phone....my liver can only handle so much.

All this reinforces the thought that the FJ80 was the last truly cool LC (or SUV for that matter?). Big without being bloated. A purposeful stance that said, yeah I can I take the kids to soccer...after I climb some of these roots and rocks.

Yes

New i7, to run on banana peels.

So Gollum survived that little tumble into the Volcano, and now lives in Arizona. Good to know.

The front bumper on my old 260Z was mounted on shock absorbers of a sort. Ironically, the car was wrecked when someone flew out of a driveway without looking an I t-boned him. Shocks didn’t move much, but then, they were 20something years old at that point
