Seems to be the general gist of most of the naysaying responses to this article.

That is pretty irritating, but not as dangerous as entering a traffic circle and the oncoming car decides to go clockwise when you are going counter. Just to save a few seconds.

Fun guy. The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was when he changed the company bonus structure so that those with children got significantly more than those without, regardless of performance. A few of us spoke out against it. We received personal phone calls from him - mine was easily the most surreally racist…

Yeah, I get the feeling this is one of those things where 6 months ago the car was actually something nice. Then this kid got ahold of it with big plans to make the turbos bigger and weld the diff...

I might be biased(mine), but I like the Z31. So does Oppo: http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/tag/z31

No. See post above, or use Wikipedia.

There was no 280z(S30) with factory T-tops. You are either thinking of a 280ZX (S130) or a 300ZX(Z31). 280zx (definitely not a 280z, which shares a chassis with the celebrated 240z) has a L-6, 300ZX has Japan’s first V-6.

And yes, the 70’s bosch L-Jetronic EFI in the 280zx is kind of a nightmare. When it works, it…

This, and people who go clockwise around traffic circles. Worse than Hitler.

YES. My god, haven’t we been trained to stay inside the lines since early chilchood? Should lose their license. Complete lack of basic auto control.

Oh man... Last company I worked at the CEO had some choice company-wide emails.

He more or less runs the place like a dictator, and has very very right wing, pro-zionist, racially pure ideals, and is also obsessed with his caucasian employees’ fertility and procreative habits. He also insists on getting photos with…

Not crashing seems to be a stretch for most appliancemobile drivers, judging from the amount of extra paint on most Prii I see.

How about just *most* cars? Special licenses for real operators, sort of like a commercial license. Test in-depth, require a fairly involved road course.

I personally cannot wait for the day when those who hate/fear driving are off our roads. The timid and unsure, going 58 in the fast lane, stopping on…

...some drivers can’t even manage to make a turn into the correct lane.

Basically a threaded liner for oversized bolt holes. Say you ruined the threads in an exhaust manifold hole, maybe a bolt broke, or was crossthreaded, or overtorqued and stripped out - you drill it out, tap the now big hole (tap = cut bolt threads into it) and screw in the helicoil. Now you have a threaded hole the…

My fave helicoil story was from a shitbox ‘82 toyota p-up. It blew out a sparkplug, taking the threads with it. Dented the hood on its way out, but stayed connected to the plug wire.

I drove on 3 cyl to a Napa, bought a helicoil kit and tapped, coiled and re-installed it on the roadside.

Damn straight, but I always have a hard time finding them outside of dedicated fastener stores.

Yes, but the problem is that she is put in stark contrast with this composed, fulfilled, at peace, glowing, smiling, sighing mother woman (read TRUE WOMAN) who does NOTHING ELSE aside from having children and waiting at home for Hawkeye. She has no identity beyond being a mother, and she is portrayed as a complete…

DON’T USE IT AT ALL.

Buy all your cars at dealerships.

...I’ll volunteer to keep getting things off of Craigslist, for the common good.

A 2.8 V8 would probably sound pretty awesome, especially if it was flat plane...

You’re miles ahead of most of the public. Several times people have insisted to me that my 280Z was either a V8 or a 4-cylinder.

Almost universally, this is followed by a sub-$1k offer to buy the car.
