Fuck Nazis!
I’m still kicking myself for not buying a project ‘73 RS that I found in the auto trader about 20 years ago. No way I could have afforded it then, even at $6,500, but it would have been printing money by now. I get the allure of these classic 911s, but they’re so blown out on price. Keep deflating and we’ll talk.
Agreed. What do they do? Too small for cargo and people. Too tall for decent handling. Most of them have terrible visibility. Sure, you can get AWD, but that’s common across most cars now. Ground clearance is meager. Seems like most are hatchbacks with a big price tag and no real outstanding functionality.
I’m wondering how fast she was going. The tree isn’t very big, may be 16-18" or so diameter. It didn’t get knocked over, so she wasn’t going 100+mph, which would be possible in downtown Indy with a Tesla. The front didn’t look that deformed, and the cabin was still intact. I would have guessed that they were still…
My cousin bought an RX-7 Turbo II when he was 17. His father and I replaced the motor with a JDM unit, and he crashed in into a curb on the Fellsway not long after. Power and no discipline are a poor combination.
My day has been made complete. Behold, The Great Humongous!
I’ve had three Volkswagens. I feel for you.
You never had to remove it. I had the same rusted up piece of shit on my Frontier. I was going to find one in the boneyard, only to discover that they're all like that. Junk. The old Pathfinder with the swing away spare was the best.

My buddy, who just bought a brand new Taco, picked up a roofing nail in the rear tire. Light was on in the dash, and I told him that you must have low pressure in one of the tires. Symbol completely baffled him until we found the offending article.
I've got an off-cut piece of 2x8 as a jacking pad in my kit, just for that reason. Got a fighting chance to raise the rig on a muddy road.
Wife forces sale. $68,000 firm.
Funny, my cousin has a very clean 2004 RX8. He had it maintained by a local rotary expert, and it's definitely one of the nicest ones in San Diego. He's been trying to sell it for months, and, given you know what to expect from those engines, I'm surprised nobody wants it. Blast to drive, but people get scared of that…
I wanted to like VW, I really did. I bought three of their cars. A 1988 Jetta GL sedan, a 2002 Jetta 2.0 wagon, and a 2009 Rabbit S. They were all very good driving cars, dynamically. However, when things broke, they were most certainly not.
Family sedan? I don't think there are enough families with $135 large out there to buy this. Good for them on battery density, but what new market is Tesla trying to permeate? This sounds like a cash grab, luring current owners in to upgrade, throwing down twenty grand a pop, probably to bolster the quickly de…
I used to work with a guy that built the same idea out of a Regal wagon. Jammed a boosted GN turbo V6 under the hood. He would drive it to Epping, race on the whitewalls, kick the crap out of the stunned competition, and drive home. It was a beast, until the boost controller stuck closed, went over 20psi, and popped.
How hard did it rule?
