You win.  COTD.

80's 5.o Mustang, preferably a fuelieBorg-Warner T-5 with nice crisp shifts, cable activated clutch (adjustable), and gobs of low end torque. It’s what I learned on back the early 80's and I can drive any stick in my sleep. Once you master the basics, you can then move on to dumping the clutch at 3000-4000 and

Reminds of this AFX slot car from the 70's...

This thing seems to be a home run for Hyundai.  I see one every time I go out for a drive...unless it’s the same one.

Yeah, this right here! These young clowns couldn’t pick out a Pontiac big block even if you tattooed it to the palm of their hand.  Total clickbait.

Don’t blame BMW (or any other European Manufacturer, as they must meet or exceed the stringent pedestrian strike requirements of Europe’s vehicle safety standards. Think back to the the big-bumper American cars of the mid 70's when NHTSA’s 5 MPH bumper rule came into play, the cars became hideous. Designing an

Pretty much like this...even with lap belts it was pretty bad.

Where I live, $54K will get you a nice kitchen renovation...and my home is average.

As Doug DeMuro exclaims; THIS!!!

This needs MORE STARS!. Sadly, the general Jalop readership is too young to get this.

“Individual Responsibility” means when you downshift to slow down after a long straight and you go from 4th to 1st instead of 4th to 3rd and the engine grenades itself due to a mechanical over-rev, you’re not getting warranty coverage. Off track excursions that bend or break suspension components...not covered. Modify

Agreed. A DeSantis Presidency would be far more frightening than a regurgitation of Trump 2.0. Trump’s main focus is getting back to personal gain, while killing spare time with his petty personal grievances with those who hate him. DeSantis is basically a Bond villain with his own right wing revision of America based

Back in 2005, I investigated a vehicle passenger seat heater fire for my employer. The passenger seat was damaged, as was the headliner and the part of the dash on the right side. The rest of the car was in tact other than it smelled horrible. We wrote it off.

Ever heard of an event data recorder? All vehicle as of 2013 model year are required to have one - by law. Most will record 5 second of pre-crash data, including vehicle speed, throttle application (in%) and brake switch application. Can even till if the cruise control was set. And if both cars in the incident have

A buddy of mine sent me this video along with a quote from our statics professor back in Flint, Mi. in the mid 80's - Doc. Ho. A student once asked Doc Ho about partial credit for an answer gave on a recent written test. Doc Ho’s reply: “you build bridge, bridge fall down, half of people on bridge die, you want

Same ole BS...”GM killed the Fiero”. It was a combination of lack of public interest and a serious direct competitor (Toyota MR2) that eventually killed off the Fiero. After a stunning debut in ‘84, where actual vehicle sales exceed initial forecasts, sales decline exponentially year after year, even though the car

Very cool looking retro helmet that is not the most comfortable helmet to wear for long periods of time. It’s no SHOEI.

Teslas fanboys will always find their automobilesappealing”.

Not interested until they bring this vinyl roof option back...
