It’s so special that most of the front bodywork is one big fiberglass clamshell, which costs so much to replace that even a little crack is enough for the insurance company to total the entire car, at least according to the seller, via Road & Track.

Can Mazda just shut the hell up and make an updated RX-8?

“We need your trade-in” flyers are hilarious. Even more so when they don’t even pretend to know what you have.

Using the brakes to steer/pivot was really useful in mud, when the front tires had little grip (and little effect on direction).

They’re also pretty maneuverable.

The same question could be asked about tractors in the 50s and 60s. These came with wide and narrow front ends, the latter with single and dual wheels:

Generally considered two wheels (and tires) mounted on each end of the axle.

I’d probably also avoid the 318. Don’t know really anyone who liked that motor. Anemic power and really negligible fuel mileage savings. 383 V8 has lots of supporters and there are lots of options for modding. If you’re going to turbo, why not just ditch the V8 altogether and do a nicely balanced I6

As it sits in your vehicle, the propane warms up, and the pressure increases.

I picked a first date up in a Caterham once. Didn’t get a second date.

My idea is to clean up a good example, maybe modernize the interior and suspension a bit, and put in a drivetrain that is both reliable and practical. Instead of the typical route of dropping in a monstrous heavy engine that guzzles tons of fuel (though a 528 ci Hemi crate engine does sound like fun), my goal is…

Of all the manual Porsches to get, why this?

BAD: Purchased an ‘87 Reliant K sedan NEW
GOOD: It had the 5MT

I really can’t hate this choice but there has to be one stipulation, Das Boot in German with subtitles. The dub is absolutely horrible (and this is coming from an anime fan who likes dubs.)

Topher Grace’s Hobbit cut + LotR extendeds.

At least they can recline without pissing off anyone behind them.

I’m in Australia which I imagine would have a similar situation. Except we’re quite densely packed onto the coasts and things, I’ve never been into the center proper.

The muscle car market (unfinished) seems to be getting softer and softer..

Good question. I would expect the system would function anywhere the radio signal can get to the search-and-rescue satellites.

I thought you could get emergency service almost anywhere
