Between that and the risk of wheel damage if you go to a place with the clamp-on sensors, plus the fact that in some areas it’s a struggle to find a shop who will work with you on settings, I’m inching ever closer to getting the tools to do my own alignments.

I think we’re more likely to see increased displacement(2.4L or so, maybe with an increased rev limiter) than a factory turbo, based on what the car’s engineers have said in the past. Read more

The other possibility is that the heater works really well. You could drive around all winter in my s2000 with the top down as long as you had some sort of hat, as the top of your head would be sticking out into the airflow. Read more

Isn’t “Can’t See The Corners” GM’s default design language nowadays?

Semi originally referred to the trailers. Since the trailers only have rear wheels and can’t roll on their own, they were called “semi-trailers”.

This is my new favorite thing. Read more

So that’s where the idiots moved to after the cops in Myrtle Beach cracked down on Mustang Week.

This. Right. Here. “Hey, guy at work who rattles on about chemtrails all the time instead of doing your work, I would love to spend my lunch hour outside in the 100+ degree heat fixing shit on your rusted to shit Caprice Classic that I’m honestly surprised doesn’t say ‘Pussy Wagon’ across the back, even though I told… Read more

Has Tavarish done a post on what you can get for the base price of a Mitsubishi Mirage? I can’t imagine why anyone would spend $12995-$19000(Yes, you can option one of those crapcans up to 19 grand) on a car that appears to be a 90s Mirage on the inside.

The closest I’ve seen to that is a 350Z with “55NOWAY”. Lots of tickets, I’m sure, but it certainly isn’t as “poor life choices” as that.

For US cars at least, this is correct. There was a viscous diff in the rear and an open diff in the front.

My first thought after that scene was that Hyde slipped her some of his crazy juice.

On an R8 that would be pretty close to traditional turbo placement, though.

That movie poster has a significant lack of Vincent Price.

I'm in the same boat with my s2000. The monthly on a FiST would be significantly less than the Mystery Repair of the Month system I'm currently operating under. Read more

Those Fratelli Orsini driving gloves are really great - I have a pair in brown myself and they've held up great to near constant use for the last 2+ years. Read more

None of the other paint schemes seem quite as enthusiastic about being there. Read more

So was tonight just for design, no specs? Read more

No need to question getting a Mustang, just don't go to Myrtle Beach during Mustang Week.
