It's totaled. It's an old car with a huge amount of custom aluminum construction. The value of the car is only in the low $20,000 range for a good one. A good quality full paint job is upwards of $8,000 or more... throw in the custom aluminum work to try to fix the frame and you are going to be looking at over 130%…

You might be a redneck if...

It's a tossup for me between pretty much any Corvette of the last 30 years and any Mustang of the past 30 years.

I would like to agree with you (even though I bought my wife a BRZ), but have you ever tried to drive/own/find a good TT MKIV Supra? If it's under $40k, it's trashed, branded title, or modified by some drunk and stoned teenager. Then there's the whole lack of features like navigation, handsfree, etc.

Thankfully we have people like this doing nothing useful with their time. Why do people fund these idiots to basically walk around with a sign screaming "THE END IS NIGH!" without providing anything useful. Do you have any idea how many resources this idiot consumed simply existing to provide this useless data?

Sounds like someone never learned to drive a manual and is upset... don't suppose you were recently got arrested due to lacking this skill?

This whole system is very concerning simply because I know how poorly sensors work in most used cars. For instance, if the seat belt sensor stops working, most people just disable the warning light or speaker rather than pay for a new one... suddenly it now looks like you haven't been wearing a seat belt the last…

The point is that we are already paying them... to be unemployed. This is something I completely agree with. There should never be a way to get something for nothing. If you collect money from the government (and it's not a refund of your own money), you should have to do civil service for it. I don't care if it's…

Tiered license system: Base license with specific classes to use basic city streets, advanced licenses for highways and freeways, expanded licenses for higher speed and special purpose driving.

From what I have seen rednecks have some fast cars. At least around where I grew up they were big into the "less than legal" drag racing scene and built some serious cars for it. Typically there would be a bunch of the fox body Mustangs, ugly Camaros, and some cool old muscle cars (Impalas, Novas, Chevelles, etc).…

WTF did you do to that car? I am extremely hard on cars, and wrack up the miles. We picked up a 2001 Wolfsburg Jetta for my wife and I as a commuter and I trashed the thing. The biggest problem it had was that it started to smell like Crayons due to the door insulation... and occasionally it hated idling after I…

Depends if it was an automatic or manual. Manual might not, automatic probably will or at the very least have the cooling system disconnected.

The AE86 was not only not their first sports car, it's not a sports car at all. It was an economy car that turned out to be great fun because it weighs as much as a box of tissues and was RWD. That's why it was chosen for Initial D... it's an underdog against true sports cars such as the RX-7s, Supras, etc.

Why do people think FASTER is better? Seriously, if this was true everyone would just drive old fox body mustangs with harsh cams.

Weapons are only bad when used for bad purposes. If he would have been hunting neighborhood children with it (not that they may not deserve it) I might agree, but since he was hunting foam blocks it is just an interesting engineering demonstration.

I completely second the notion of forgetting the MR-S. If only I could bleach that thing from my mind my life would be better for it. There are few cars that actually annoy me to see, but that is one of them. What's worse is that it was made in an overlapping window of time with the S2000 (as well as the RX-7 and NSX…

There's also the issue of the quality of said rubber. Chances are they were economy tires, I prefer the term widow makers, and simply were pointless when the driver was failing to drive. The problems are compounding: shitty driver + shitty car + shitty tires = inevitable crash.

Cell phones are just the latest target of demonization. Talking to a person sitting next to you is no different than talking on a hands free device while driving. Having children or pets in the car is massively more distracting. The solution here is not to forcibly kill select distractions, but to teach people how to…

That commercial was strange to say the least. It didn't really have a positive message about the product. Also, If my wife acted like that she would be finding a new place to live. Who puts up with crazy people like that? If they reacted that way to a cheapish $25,000 new car, how would they react to my project…

I will have to pass on the traditional LSx options and go with a Hartley H1v8 (even though the tech just got sold to a new race developer). Having 400HP naturally aspirated out of a 200lb v8 that revs to 10,000 rpms.... drool. That's 2 horsepower per pound of motor and could drop my current light weight project car…
