Aeriaru dorifuto!

The Xterra was also built in Brazil, and uses hardware from the Frontier/Navara pickup truck. The only concern would be the engine, given the relative rarity of larger engines in South America, so I’d go with the KA24DE engine instead of the VG33E.

Very nice. Now go the other way around: which cars have parts based on dog toys? I’ll start:

You mean, your landlord IS cool with this. Actually, the “with this” part is redundant.

You know who else wanted an LS in an RX-7?

Yes, the K8 V6 engine displaced 1.8l, which makes it one of the smallest production V6 engines ever. It had 24 valves, four overhead cams, oversquare bore/stroke, and a rod/stroke ratio of around 2:1, which in theory could’ve made it a high-RPM monster, but Mazda made the bearing journals super tiny which resulted in…

He’d probably follow the Crazy Frog’s example instead.

The Honda LDA engine in the Insight and Civic Hybrid has a single camshaft and two valves per cylinder.

Pentax did this a few years ago with the Q7. For reference, the camera’s body is only 102 mm (4.02”) wide.

Probably because he didn’t use both fists when trying to “catch” the man as he “fell”.

That dude had some pretty kick-ass songs back in the day.

We need the rest of the video frames to make a “Thanks Obama” meme GIF.

I took a picture during traffic recently. While approaching a red light I saw a man step out of a minivan, approach the car that was waiting for the green light in front of him, and started punching the driver through the window as if it was a pop-up UFC fight or something. That guy got back into his minivan before I…

Will they be required to modify their livery for specific locales?

One might try and leave the transmission in a lower gear. Sure, leave it in third and putz around at 25 mph through town. But every little stab of the loud pedal brings about a thrust through the driver’s seat, every minute lift off the throttle a weight shift forwards, the kind of thing that makes you go “hhmmm”. So…

In order, a red Tercel, a silver LeBaron, a white Lanos, a blue Miata, a green Protégé, a silver SX4, a black Kizashi, a blue Insight, a mahogany Miata, a black Mazda3, and a light blue Camry. I’ve driven other colors, but never an orange or yellow car.

Yes, a BP in an NA MX-5.

My grandfather, well known in town as a cheap old fuck, one day decided to fix the wipers on his Pinto by himself. His solution consisted of a length of rope, tied at the midpoint to the passenger-side wiper arm, with the ends leading to the inside of the car through the windows. So to this day grandma still relates…

If those ITB setups are wrong, I don’t want to be right.

ITB all the things!
