Didn't Jalopnik make an argument once that the blue Porsche McQueen drives (and owned) at the beginning of LeMans was the best cameo car ever?

Possibly, I've seen every Bond movie beside Skyfall, but none of the "new" movies are "Bond" movies to me, so I pretty much only remember the "classics." Side note, I was very impressed with Casino Royal when it came out, but I don't feel like any of the other ones have lived up to it. I do remember the Z8 had…
Well shit, and now I can't edit it. This is what happens when you don't let work distract you from Kinja.
Maybe for worst I'd nominate the Lotus Esprit from For Your Eyes Only for worst ever, since it did nothing, but park in front of a building with skis on the back.
Muria in the beginning of The Italian Job.
Interior will probably be bitch and as far as I know 5000 parts while not impossible aren't exactly abundant. Especially ones in decent shape at this point, or, god forbid, new. But to be honest I've never really looked for 5000 parts so I maybe full of shit.
First off, you want to know how forgettable these cars are, well my first memory of my parent's car is a faded yellow one of these with brown vinyl seats that singed the shit out of you in summer. I was born in '83 and in '89 my parents went with a brandi-new Camery wagon. Now I'm pretty sure this was the car they had…
If you like vintage rally cars or Abarths, or both, you never forget the 600. But, yes otherwise I agree it's pretty much forgotten. I've always wondered why they didn't call the 500L something else, like the 600 (though I wouldn't necessarily want the 600 name to be reincarnated as a min-minvan thingy) to…
This is because Mosport is possibly the best racetrack in North America. Unfortunately, like most really great tracks, TV just doesn't do it justice, but believe me when I tell you Mosport is the real deal.
Yes, I would very much like an "original" Mini Cooper!
Listen, we all know why there aren't dividers at the stalls in the driver's rest room... it just wouldn't be "racing" then.
Slightly different, but if early(ish) racing days and Formula 1 are of interest, you owe it to yourself to read Sid Watkins' book Life At The Limit.
But now Autocar took the Huracán for a spin on UK roads, and it still understeers. A lot. Plus, no matter how many buttons you push, the ESP stays on in the background. That sucks.
True story which I cannot vette. When Bill France built the place, he claimed the defining characteristic between a "speedway" and a "super speedway" was indoor plumbing and I believe Daytona was the first "super speedway" built.
I don't have a story per say, but at the end of my driving test the instructor told me I had made a few mistakes and then flipped an imaginary coin, actually went through the motions of flicking it with his thumb, catching it in his palm and turning it over on the back of his other hand. Then he just said something…
Yes, and if you individually buy all the parts for a MacBook Air do you know how expensive that would be?
Randomly stumbled across this a minuet ago, made me think of this immediately in reference to Hell: http://sacredstorydotorg.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/fs-col…
Maybe, but I bet the sales and service staff think the fleecing of their half dead and or half asleep clientele is better.
I work parts for a VW dealer and lost my car in Sandy. I waited and waited to see what the new (then they were calling it the 2014 WRX, but as you probably know it was pushed back to 2015.) My bosses friend worked at the local Ford dealer so I went and test drove the shit out of 2 of his STs (separate times.) December…
Get as much documentation as you can, basically repair order AND customer receipts. You should (my dealer didn't always) get the RO when you drop it off for service and of course receipt when you pick up. Don't sign the receipt until you've seen the car, if it's not right don't accept it back from the repair. I think…
