They are amazing, don’t ruin them for us. All they need to do is look cool, because none of us will ever drive one.

I’m not convinced you are not špijun. A true communist would drive a Lada, and iirc it was a gift... I’m going to need a picture of you squatting on the hood as proof.

Also, Porsches are fascist, not capitalist.

Make sure it has good eye clearance. I have a watermelon one that I think is the funniest looking, but it has individual eye holes that sometimes slip and block my vision so I can’t use it.

I considered getting my facial hair permanently removed, but it doesn’t work so well with ginger hair. The rest of my hair I wear natural and proud. I also wear a balaclava in the sun because I hate sunscreen, so no way I could handle makeup. Idk how people do it. I know several CIS men who wear makeup now, and they…

If you watch Fifth Gear videos on their youtube channel, they show this preview before every single video. I actually was thinking about checking out the series, until about the 20th time I had to watch the first 5 seconds of it.

Step 1: Throw away pistachios.
Step 2: Get a good snack.

Like that. I’m ginger, so I wear a balaclava if I’m going to be in the sun anyways, but for longer trips (3-5 hours each way to the track, for example) I have a few fun ones. They get a lot of funny reactions, and waving at kids (and a lot of adult males) when they freak out keeps me entertained. It helps a lot in a…

I like minivans, and considered one before buying my Tacoma, but my dual sports are too dang tall to fit in the back of the ones I checked out. I have a lot of good memories from college rolling around in minivans, especially frat black ops type shenanigans, but also just being able to roll to TJ or Vegas or whatever…

ACLU will step up, is my guess. Not in how they regulate new cars, but in keeping the old ones legal to drive yourself. Because there are groups that won’t be able to afford a new self driving car.

It was 110 degrees and I was driving through the dirt (filthy radiator) and jumping it. No thermostat means the water can’t stay in the radiator long enough to cool down, is my understanding of why it happens. There can also be cavitation depending on the impeller design with so little resistance to the water it is…

So I’m not supposed to top it off with Gatorade and urine? The guy who tuned up the motor in my ‘69 Charger (and was relatively reputable) forgot to put a thermostat back in after flushing it, and it belched out all the coolant on a dusty 2 lane in the middle of nowhere in the central valley in the summer...before the…

It isn’t an issue (yet) in some states, but here in CA there are very limited options to legally upgrade the engines on those entry level sports cars. If you don’t care about legal, yeah you can find a crooked smog shop or just swap off/on every 2 years, but the rules are only going to get stricter. So say I want a…

I see them all the time, because there is a Slingshot Adventures type place that takes out big groups and goes really slow on the fun roads here. I thought I remembered them being slower than a Miata so I just googled the specs, and a Polaris SLR Silver Turbo came up...which uses a 173 hp NA motor...Turbo Silver is…

There’s a video of a guy going through a drive-through in one. Having to wear a helmet because no windscreen (at least in CA that’s how it works) would suck.

At one point, I was DDing a Spec E30 complete with power steering delete, stripped interior, AC removal, FIA seat, cage, R888s, etc when my real DD **** the bed. It was a month or so in the summer, 90+ degrees the whole time, and other than the heat when I got caught in stop and go traffic I actually enjoyed it. I’m…

Would you have your dentist diagnose your hemorrhoids? They are both part of the same fuel system, but their specialties don’t overlap. Some of this is wrong, and some just misleading. I’ll leave it up to a real expert to do the point by point, but I will point out that most motors rarely run in the load range that…

I’m required to hate them because I drove a Bronco for 20 years, but also they have consistently been the least reliable at work. We haven’t tried Dodge. Fords are usually pretty good, if you budget a tranny rebuild every 125k miles. We’ve had Tacos that lasted almost as long as my Bronco, and the T100 wasn’t so bad…

They need to make shot sized Redbulls.

The new Taco has been a disappointment, with the terrible brakes staying and gearing/motor combo that puts it in the wheezy, lugging rev range at 4WD speeds. I loved the one with the old motor, even with the crap brakes. If this actually happens, hopefully it is more of a mud truck than a high speed desert runner, but…
