According to Wiki when the were bought by Borg Warner they named the subsedy “3k - Watner Turbosystems.” So you’re not the only one wondering about that.

True it is a very good looking Volvo wagon, but it is not the best looking Volvo wagon...

Without having driven any of those cars, I don’t hesitate to say it’s dumb owners (and people who just don’t bother to give that, and probably driving in general, the proper attention.) Just like it was dumb owners when people couldn’t be bothered to make sure their floor mats were secured, or not double stacked, or…

You read it here first folks: I think you are going to find out that FCA is going to be in a bit of finincial trouble over the next year. I think Fiat in the US is going to be in big fincinal trouble and I don’t think the strong Jeep sales are going to cover it all (or necessairly last.) I say this not soly on the…

So remember this, the EPA and CARB were essentially caught with their pants down on the VW thing too because they completely missed this BECAUSE they don’t test this stuff themselves, they don’t double check it, they don’t do shit, they just take the info from the manufactures and say, “Okay.” Now remember that VW has…

No. (But I understand why you want one.)
Yes. (See, above.)

Well a little more detail, the 1st clutch and slave were done together when the problem first came up and we are talking under 5k on the car. I picked up and it still had the same problem (probably because the syncro’s were damaged, or because of the, at that time unknown to me or the dealer, issue / update to the…

Interesting... What’s your evidence? Are you sure all that would have been covered under warranty by Fiat, being that clutches are typically wear items, if it was breaking because I was, “... hammering the shit out of [it]”? Have you, say, checked out my tires to look for signs of abuse etc? Are you aware that Fiat…

I honestly don’t follow you here. Are you saying that I’m the problem?

First off great article. Have you ever read Car by Mary Walton? She talks about real-world cold weather testing of the in-cabin heating systems. (Among many, many other things relating to the design and production of the 1996 Taurus.) Probably nothing new to you, but it’s a great book in total and a very interesting…

Most of these are awesome, especially the Red Pig. But then the Lancia one makes me Really. Fucking. Sad.

“I’d much rather see tweaks aimed at getting the cars to run closer together...” ABSOULTY, I’m an F1 fan, watch every quali and race (though usually not live,) but I’ve also become a big fan of V8 Supercars. I really think they put on some of the best racing (along with this years Audi / Porsche WEC) out there.…

While I can’t find a link to show it, NBCSN is supposed to have coverage starting Jan 4th. From the beginning of the race, just a few days delayed.

I don’t work in sales so I can’t directly confirm this, but on Black Friday our dealership was “giving” anyone who bought a car that day a $1,000 gift card (It may have been more actually I can’t remember now, maybe $5k.) Anyway, there were just bumping everyone’s monthly payment by something like $600, again I can’t…

USF1. Just kidding.

Everytime Bowlby have come out with a new radical car (meaning this and the Delta Wing,) I’ve have read about it, found it facinating, been really excited to see it race. And then. And then they both seem to not really work in the real world. I’m starting to wonder if it’s a cauality of putting too much emphisis on…

It’s totally subjective, but no, I can’t co-sign that at all. Side note I really wanted a v70R, stick and would have settle for the s60R stick if I found a good one, but as you point out they are really hard to come by, unless they have a ton of miles, are beat and the seller wants way too much. Then they are still…

I’m not saying PDK is bad, I’m just saying it’s not what I’d want. I mean, from where I’m sitting, getting a Porsche, basically any Porsche besides an old, beat Boxster, which I don’t want and you can add to the list, is a far reach for me and an auto 997 would be a HUGE disappointment no matter how good it was. I’m…

Or an early ‘90’s Bonniville, which my Grandfather sort of (but not offically, fully,) offered me once upon a time.
