its a lot harder to get a license in most of europe and in the eyes of regulators the high costs of driving (taxes and high gas prices) also price out most of the riff-raff they don’t want to insure.

its a weird dichotomy. i am a 29 year old working in the financial sector. i honestly think 99% of people (clients included) could give a shit about your car unless you are driving an obvious heap or something obviously very expensive (moreso than a mid-tier BMW). the other 1% are car guys themselves. one of the first…

crazy thing is you could buy a $50k challenger, which to be honest is just as silly of a car and faster in a straight line, and nobody would bat an eyelash

Does anyone else literally not care at all about what normies think about how your car looks? The STI, Focus RS, etc. these are cars for car guys and gals. i don’t give a damn of what sharon in accounting thinks of the wing. car people will know it is something special and those are the only people you actually want…

the thing is you can do most of this with a base STI and some aftermarket parts. You are giving up some OEM-ness and you have to do some of the legwork yourself, but that’s the compromise on price. Lots of WRX buyers are going to upgrade wheels and tires anyway so why not add some aero and bilsteins? people who want…

toyota owns about 25% of fuji heavy industries

surprised there aren’t more subarus on the list:

if they mount this traversely i’m going into GM’s boardroom with a shotgun

we all assume its because people who live in strip mall of america drive drunk all the damn time

i bought a used car that already had some good mods

depends on the cars and SUVs we are talking about but based on weight and ride height many unibody SUVs are actually worse at towing and worse on snow than say an awd wagon while also being worse on gas and shit to drive in comparison. A Nissan Rogue or Chevy Equinox for example are going to be worse at all those…

say you are potentially an m3 shopper and you want a sporty car without all the all-out performance compromises that make cars like the 86, Cayman, or Miata hard to live with (stiff ride, limited space, minimal accoutrements, engine compromised for balance/weight, etc.). You don’t want to go so far as getting a sedan…

he got it in white and a convertible so he had this coming

why are they bad drivers?

this is high art

what value does a paint job have for example? or 18" rims on a car without a big set of brakes?

that shit is awesome man. i love totally flippant and personal car designs that look like they are actually daily driven by people who are passionate about making the car their own. imo this is way more compelling than concourse type events where owners dust off their museum pieces a few days a year before riding home…

don’t know why anyone would want one of these instead of say a eunos cosmo or a skyline sedan if you wanted a totally flippant jdm import that works as a gt

imagine how great this car would be if everything was shrunk to say 3/4 size

except they need to pretend to be normal trucks to fill the emotional needs of the buyer.
