“actually the beatles suck” is a bad take, but “actually the beatles were a good band but their popularity and legacy have been elevated as result of white boomer hegemony over the media and cultural landscape of the 20th century.”

everything is marketed as “sporty” because its cheaper than developing and selling a proper sports car

miatas have pretty stiff suspensions and REALLY stiff chassis. Massive wheels aren’t needed on a miata because the tires are neutral/non staggered due to not making much power and the brakes are tiny due to the car’s power/weight.

a not insignificant number

ECU reflashes are great for performance but saying there are no drawbacks is a stretch, particularly on a turbocharged car where in many cases aftermarket tunes are advancing the timing, leaning out the AFR, and raising the boost pressure.  i know they say the late model VW turbo engines are detuned from the factory,…

that is my go-to-pic for “how does a german person think?”

not that it has anything to do with what i said but the 2jz made 320 at the crank on 96 octane.  FD is still properly rated and like i said the manufacturers did not advertise their cars as more powerful than 276. make sure you aren’t wrong next time you call someone an idiot or you look stupid.

powerlifting has had this problem for a long time because it was essentially a white trash sport from the 90s to the 2000s.  it has gotten a lot better as a younger generation of lifters has exploded onto the scene and the sport has gone a lot more mainstream.  still you see how many people at least tolerate the old…

not in any significant way. the FD for example dyno’d at like 220 whp so it was probably right around the 276 mark at the crank. more importantly, the brands did not market their cars as being more powerful than their rivals. the real r&d sweat went towards setting them apart in other ways which is what made that…

i like the e46 a lot but IMO the engine does not sound good at all.  the ideal m3 to me would be the e46 with the e90s high revving v8

a brand new GT3 starts at $143,600 per Porsche website. if there is any dealer markup you might as well just order from Porsche and get the Porsche delivery experience in LA. You’d still be comfortably under $150k and you get instruction and track time to go with it.

i am a large brown man who has been to indianapolis twice for work and the only people who were not absolute dicks to me was a guy who happened to be from my home town and the employees at chick fil a

the GTI is bought because people build a spreadsheet and it ticks the most boxes out of the cars they want. people are by in large not passionate about buying a GTI, even if they really like the car. People are buying WRXs and Focus STs with their dicks, Miatas and 86s with their hearts, and GTIs with their brains.

Congratulations, the turbo cabriolet is the worst 911.

you’re thinking boxing and probably about a russian

watch this no-no get broken up today and tell me it does not bring a tear to your eye.  you’ll never see such booty-blastedness again in your lifetime.

“commuter cities” like temecula are still pretty affordable.  i live and work in san diego and my 17 mile commute takes about 20 mins in the morning and 40 or so in the afternoon.  you are unfortunately very right about real estate though.  still i think we have the best quality of life anywhere in the country and i…

my PSS rears only lasted about 20,000 miles and were $200 a piece.  If i get 15,000 miles out of my 200tw Falkens that cost $130 i’m still coming out ahead. in terms of noise and harshness they are surprisingly dailyable if you live somewhere it never gets cold and rarely rains like san diego.

fair enough, but even when they do not chunk the performance at high temperatures drops off a lot harder than proper track tires
