I don’t know what the exact name for this piece is, but my personal hell was the metal piece that sits between the camshaft and distributor rotor on a Mercedes M103. I was dissassembling the engine to replace the head gasket and got to this piece, only to have it snap in half with half of it stuck in the top of the…

First things first, Tony Stewart did not win the Indy 500 as this article states.

The answer to the second question is the S2000. Plenty of mods available and the values won’t change drastically if at all. I know multiple people who have sold S2000s for C7s and eventually gone back to another S2000.

Wow.

S2000 is the car you’re thinking of. A better, more reliable version of the Miata, just will need to look to find one for $10k. Similar power and lower running costs than a Boxter as well. 

Correction: the S2000 is the better Miata. 

I posted a picture of them above, but the compliment to my AP1 is an 1987 Audi 5000 Avant, because everyone needs to own at least one cool wagon in their lifetime.

My two current daily cars are an AP1 Honda S2000 (my first car) and a Tornado Red 1987 Audi 5000 CS Turbo Quattro Avant. Both make running errands fun. (Pictured here with my Mk. 2 GTI and my former diesel E28)

I’m going to slightly disagree and say there are certain cars that you just shouldn’t use cruise control with in the rain. Both of my near-accidents with my S2000 were in moderate but not heavy rain at around 50 mph. Adding cruise control is just asking to write off the car.

I found an S2000 that’s very similar to mine for sale on the UK Autotrader. This one is a 2003 like mine, is grey with a red interior (mine’s silver on red), has a hardtop (this one is a Honda hardtop, mine is a Mugen) and has 134k miles (mine currently has $137k). It’s for sale for the equivalent of $9060, while I…

I have a friend that will see a set of train tracks that will be elevated from the road on both sides and say, “oh look, a jump!” and speed up towards them. She doesn’t really understand why this scares me. 

Isn’t that already available here as a Mitsubishi?

I’m only 20 and I’ve only had my S2000 for a few months, but I’ve already decided I will never part with it.

The Miata stopped being the answer to everything the second the S2000 went on sale

The first generation Volvo XC90 with the Yamaha V8 is the best all around daily driver, period.

Speaking of S2000s in blizzards...

Daily driver the morning after driving straight from Cincinnati to Long Island

While visiting a friend on Long Island:

This is yet another Nissan that looks dated the day it’s revealed.

A Spyker is the type of car that you can see once and never forget. There’s just nothing like it around today.
