Right now I'm writing this with blood dripping from my nose because when I first saw this image of Honda's tiny kei-class pickup and its little, impeccably-designed camper, I leapt at my screen in an instinctive attempt to get to the car. Of course, I impacted the monitor hard, and fell off the back of my desk, legs…

Actually, I wanted a BMW 325iX Touring. Then I decided I'd be happy with any BMW 3 Series Touring. Then I wanted a Lancia Delta Integrale. The fact that I ended up with a different car from a different manufacturer on an entirely different continent should give you some insight into exactly how hard it is to find a…

Funny, but wait, this car is actually pretty cool. Should be renamed APC.

The Golf R and R32 before it have had a mixed track record in this country. The first one, the MKIV Golf R32, debuted in 2002, an all-wheel drive barnstormer powered by a sonorous, 237 horsepower VR6 engine that remains beloved by enthusiasts today.

Great cars - love mine! Oh, wait.

The little pods are being assembled in Livonia by Roush. Yes, the people who supercharge your Mustang are also building a little pod to ride around in. Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum. In addition, Google has partnered with ZF, Continental, Bosch, and LG, among others.

My Alfa Milano Verde is 6-10% Jalop.

• Among the only scenarios in which it is ok to hate trans people: my trans brother has Recaros in his Fiesta ST. Mine has the base seats. Hate that guy.

Meanwhile, the good cars – the ones you'd actually want – trade hands privately, offline, among two friends. If an ad for an excellent example of an unusual used car does reach the Internet, a cadre of interested buyers immediately calls the seller and a deal is struck that afternoon. It's a cutthroat place, the world…

I think you have two possible solutions here: first, just somehow stifle that urge for a kiss until you get showered up. If this proves too difficult, maybe purchase a cheap sex doll or makeup-school practice head and stick your girlfriend's picture on it, and kiss that as you head to the shower in preparation of the…

Easily a MK1 VW GTI. In college, we'd have a sober friend drive 3 of us to various drinking establishments or parties in mine. Towards the end of the night, the indignant, intoxicated passengers would harass the driver for driving too slow and goad him into lifting some inside rear wheel or taking the car to the…

Motherfucker. Not you, just in general.

Cummins?

I think there is a pretty even divide. I've only had trouble with my mechanical when the engine was turned over backwards. At least it solves the hill problem, but your solution is interesting.

Mechanical timing tensioners, brah! Not many people use the oil feed tensioners anymore.

My Milano. Oh. Wait.

My girlfriend doesn't like to kiss me when I come inside from the garage because of the way that I smell. I've been rebuilding various components of my Alfa Romeo - engine, brakes, axles - and I always end up smelling like grease. Showering just isn't practical. Should I try masking the grease smell with some gear…

Expensive, considering that you have to import them.

More for information than anything. Cosworth was consulted for head design, but it's an M-B block and most of the heads were also cast and machined by M-B as well. Companies like AVL, Riccardo, Roush, and Cosworth do the grunt engineering on a lot of engines for OEMs but often don't supply any components to the final…
