...Am I supposed to side with the minivan lady? Because I don’t. She sounds like she wants to be offensive for the exclusive intent of being offensive. Society won’t lose anything here.

Autocross.

Well done with the trophy! John’s car is an absolutely incredible build. For those of you that like build threads, I highly recommend his:

That’s an awesome comment - In my mind, you’re getting 42 stars, but alas, I can only really give you 1.

As much as I love hatchbacks and prefer smaller cars in general, I am willing to compromise for my longer-legged friends and put my vote towards the advantages of the longer, the elegant, and the versatile station wagon.

If I remember back to biology class, sometimes when two wheels get together, sometimes the undesirable traits match up and low and behold something new is born.

They REFUSED to publish my story about my Miata getting locked to a Supercharger! It’s been there 7 months, still on E. 

While we’re on the subject of failures, why don’t you eat some avocado toast or something that Millennials supposedly do instead of buying houses and diamonds? Are you really mad that instead of fixing the world up the way you want it to be, we spent our youth getting fucked up and piercing ourselves in strange…

They’ve already failed. Blaming the previous generation for not fixing their problems is how you know.

It’s such a one-dimensional, narrowminded, troglodytic notion of car enthusiasm too. Mashing the ‘Go pedal’ and going fast isn’t the only way to appreciate cars.

“You kids do you.”

I can acknowledge the advantages I have and understand that not everyone is so fortunate. It is unfortunate that you, and so many like you, cannot. 

From the “modern” era, I’m going with Jean Alesi and Robert Kubica. Alesi was betrayed by inferior equipment and poor reliability more times than I can count. I still believe Kubica has champion-level skill, it’s just a shame he got hurt so badly in that rally accident. Ironically, both drivers have only one win to…

You have not lived if, while waiting at a stoplight with a hangover and mildly murderous intent, you have not seen the rear windshield of a 15 year-old Subaru disintegrate and fall into the hatch after an onslaught of bass. It is one of the few occasions in life where schadenfreude truly is life-affirming. Still…

That argument about copyright has me worried the comments are next on the chopping block.

I grew up in Pennsylvania moved to Michigan. Lived in Michigan for five years and moved back to PA. I have a few thoughts.

If you want to keep these cars alive, you need to buy them. This, the Supra, the uhm... I’ll get back to you.

What I think the real moral of the story here is the guy who was hoarding all those parts, but died before doing anything with them (using them or selling them).

OK, yeah, I took two minutes and googled up the links to these materials that honestly probably should have been in the article in the first place. ampliTex and powerRibs do not in themselves replace carbon fiber as we commonly think of it. What most people think of when they say “carbon fiber” is technically “carbon…
