I’ve learned something in my years of project cars, sometimes you need to either dump it or bite the bullet and rebuild/rewire the entire engine. Otherwise you’ll never have any fun.

Why don’t they do something productive with their resources, such as, I don’t know, trying to lower diesel emissions on ocean-going cargo vessels, or maybe coal-fired powerplants?

Ooh Car Presenter Drama, tasty

And now it’s time to turn the show over to our tame gangsta investor. Some say he's into having sex, but not making love; and that he got shot nine times and lived to tell about it. All we know is he’s call The Fiddy.

So 50 Cent, the guy who filled his driveway with borrowed cars from Steven Cohen (complete with their Greenwich Concours stickers on them) for his MTV Cribs episode and once told me in person that the “50" Edition Pontiac G8 GXP he was hawking was “modified with a Corvette engine,” is gonna save Top Gear? Right.

You all need to quit posting this crap. LC80s were finally getting old enough to come down to a good price. They were a great little secret, awesome trucks, very capable, reliable, and understated. I purchased a 1996 triple locked, totally stock for around $3k a few years ago. With all of these stories, everything…

I enjoyed reading this, but disagree with your thesis.

This seems deliberately obtuse. Or... something. Maybe I’m missing something? A, if you live in a giant city like NYC, don’t own a car. That’s a no brainer. Anyone who complains about owning a car in NYC doesn’t really have a leg to stand on. B, the only obstacle I know to car ownership among millenials, and everyone…

I have a better idea. Buy a cheaper used car that’s within your means so you don’t have to buy solar panels and whore it out to other people just so you can afford to have it.

I think it’s because the front wheels have the jk fenders and the rears are missing them currently.

Is it just me or is the Disco5 going to look absolutely horrendous once they pull the spy guise off it? The shape of it looks terribly awkward.

Agreed - if it is true and move to unibody, will be a sad day.

I also don’t like how much in size and look it is to the new Discovery Sport (maybe just a bit bigger?) - I liked the size & space in current the LR4/Discovery, it’s great for camping/travel. Unless they are going to come out with a new model to take that…

Oh yeah, there’s that...

Also, unrestricted Autobahn etiquette:

What no one tells you about the Autobahn? Its regularly visited by American idiots who don’t know what they are doing and are not trained well enough to safely do what they came to do!

I was about to say NP until I saw Long Island. I grew up there and the way we’re conditioned to drive is:

Six months ago, Land Rover ended production of its iconic Defender, a truck whose roots go current engineering dates all the way back to 1948 1983.

On a topic other than gas - there’s an problem in the headlights findings blogged here. It’s worded in a misleading way:

The number of turbos has no real influence on this argument. More turbos doesn’t mean more power. It’s typically done for packaging reasons. Two smaller turbos are easier to package on a V6/V8 than a single larger turbo. Overall power when the turbos are properly sized single vs twin will be very similar.

The boost…
