gf got me tickets to a clippers-spurs game at staples center in LA even though we live in San Diego (i am a big spurs fan). It was a thursday night so i took off early from work and we went up there in minor traffic but did ok. great game. coming back i just started driving the same way we came. it was 10 at night i…

i just buy it because my friend tell me it have pussy magnet

doesn’t tyler breeze make a living off a character who is an airheaded dipshit overly concerned with physical appearance?

nahh, its daddy’s money. high school drug dealers drive 90s and 2000s luxo barges. the amount of cash needed to purchase a new hellcat (nobody is going to finance to a teenager with no verifiable income) would necessitate $2000 in profit for every week of the school year, assuming the kid makes no other purchases (and…

rx7s and rotaries in general are not expensive to rebuild. a 300zx or 3000GT from the same era is probably going to be more expensive to fix. the dead turbo is a pain though.  lots of tuners convert to single big turbo anyway.

wow mr cool guy thank you for setting us straight! i admit my subjective preferences are wrong and yours are right.  i am also certain that you are a very well adjusted person who’s company people enjoy.

uhh have you seen an fc rx7?

if i’m buying a used bmw or merc or even a subaru then yes i’m paying more for a lower mileage example. for a naturally aspirated toyota? not a chance. If you can get one for $4-6k with 100-150k miles i think that is a better buy.  These things were among the most reliable cars Toyota ever built.

i think most cars look best in some color, but occasionally i like white cars (more often pearl than pure white).  The thing with white cars is you can offset the blandness with bronze or gold wheels or colored lugs or a non-black/gray interior.

i have had PSS and Pzeros and they are dramatically different. you notice it a lot in wet weather especially. The PSS are the best wet weather tire I’ve ever used. They are also quieter than the Pzeros AND stickier. in dry weather extreme perf/street legal track focused tires like the RE71 or dunlop direzza star specs…

imo good tires are one of the most noticeable and best bang for your buck mods out there.  even if you’re “not a good driver” at minimum you notice all the extra stopping power when you brake.  in a FWD car you’ll notice how much you were also understeering before.  in a rear driver it just gives you so much more…

yeah but even the bad manuals of the era have aged better than the 4 speed slushboxes

autocross one.  i have no desire to daily a miata, but when you take it to its natural habitat it is just the purest joy a gearhead can have.  cars are so complicated now and they serve too many masters.  in a world of cars without identity or passion the miata is just honest, uncomplicated fun with a tight neutral…

don’t you also need to remove piston engines from the vehicle for a rebuild?

then why is he wearing headphones in an empty corner of the gym with mats under the plates to minimize the noise?

he’s filming it so that his technique can be critiqued by his coach, Pete Rubish.  “more weight than you can handle” is a totally silly statement.  its 300+ lbs - there are not many people in the universe that can gingerly and silently set it down.  even “quietly” putting down the weights is going to make noise, its a…

do people think the rotary engine is actually more difficult to repair than a piston engine? They are actually pretty simple. Yeah they are finicky and require things like somewhat frequent rebuilds, but those rebuilds are much easier to do than a traditional piston engine. They are intrinsically simpler and have…
