Now that Andrew is leaving I’m 1 Torchinsky and 1 Tracy away from never visiting this site again

If it’s the fucking Changli I will burn this website to the ground

I prefer to find my parts in the wild.

Dammit, David!

Every time I go to a track day, I think I could’ve been a pro race driver in a different life, given the appropriate resources when I was younger. Then I watch videos like the one in this article and go, “No fuckin’ way could I do that.”

I can tell you exactly why this Fiero wound up in Mesa.

This was rather unexpectedly one of the best articles of the year.

When I was finally grown up enough to walk to school on my own (6) I was fascinated by a vehicle that belonged to an old man who lived in the big house on the corner. (He was only five years older than I am now and the house was not really very big), though the vehicle seemed huge and awesome. It did not seem to work…

I’ll pass on calling dibs. Few things are more humiliating than being underwater on a Hyundai.

Honestly David, we give you a hard time about your wrenching adventures here a lot, and you open yourself to them knowingly. But this one doesn’t sound like your fault. Its a problem, and a sucky one that a dealer or pro might not’ve experienced, but it seems more just bad luck than you guys majorly mishandling the…

I touched it, and both rocker panels immediately disintegrated.

I’m now banned from Vietnam. 

I’m going to address this the same way I’d address my peers, because I have started blogs and I’ve also sold blogs — so I understand this whole game well. (I have guest-written here, as well as Grantland (RIP), ESPN, VICE, The Atlantic, The Daily Dot, etc. So, I also get what it’s like to write.)

The most unbelievable part of this story is that someone intentionally changed his truck’s front end to the ‘03 style.

Goodness, when the first comment strikes your heart cords. A five speed 2005 325xi has consumed my winter, spring and summer. I didn’t know there were others putting as much time and money into low powered all wheel drive sedans?

The only true way to measure horsepower accurately is by putting your car in a tug-of-war against a team of actual horses, and counting how many horses it takes to break even.

At $55k I don’t see that Cayman appreciating beyond it’s purchase price at all, ever.

This is my grandmas left hand drive 1995 mk4 supra with the 6 speed Manuel transmission and the 2jz engine. She bought it off the lot a few months after I was born and has only put 80000 kms on it. No upgrades, all stock.

Had one up here in Canada Land, paid $1500 loonies. Was very surprised by the capabilities. Great natural engine noise when on the throttle, span the front tires into third gear. The issue is that they have all the typical german issues for a car of this period, with few benefits of a said german car excluding…

90s Hondas were designed by engineers. VWs were are designed by sadists.

As an owner of an MK3 Jetta now and former owner of a 97 Civic EX I’ll tell you that you’re absolutely correct.

Someone on VW Vortex put it nicely, but MK3 VW’s are in a constant race to return to the earth. Ownership is competition between how fast things break vs. how fast you can fix things.
