The trouble is that this has a 4 speed with direct drive in top and it may even still have its short axle ratio from its drag racing days. Top speed is probably school zone appropriate.

Thanks for the link. I had a lot of fun looking at your work on your blog.

What is a 5.0 M3? If it’s a swap, where did you get the 5 liter engine?

I’m not sure worry is the right word.

The worst thing she did was rationalize her treatment by saying West is a genius. Knowing he isn’t a genius is a reflection of why I won’t be subjecting myself to any experiences as ridiculous as hers.

Does the warranty company have the right to total the car when repairing the windshield washer pump costs more than KBB retail?

Porsche didn’t stick with the 911 style for so long because they’re cynical. They did it because their customers are Neanderthals. Porsche designed better cars in the mid-’70s. What they discovered was that their customers didn’t want excellence, they wanted 911s. This left everyone from Aston Martin to Corvette to…

I think we could go a long way towards cooling this situation down by making Russia host all of the Syrian refugees.

Only a year and a half of my BMW ownership overlapped with my living in San Diego, and I rode my bike about as much as I drove during that time. I did use my turn signals in every car I drove in San Diego though, if only so I could be self-righteous while complaining about nobody else using them.

I drove Audis for about three and a half years in San Diego ending in December 2015. I didn’t have much trouble with other Audi drivers, but the one I drove most of the time was a white A6 3.0T on standard wheels, which probably looked too grown up for the GTL set. The A7 I drove at the end looked sort of ghetto to me…

Thus rendering you overqualified to cover the automotive world for Gawker.

Some people hate whites and take pleasure whenever a white person with some fame and success can be ridiculed. Does that have anything to do with whether or not some famous and successful white people are lowlife assholes? It’s the same with blacks, unless you’re actually a racist that thinks Obama is the first…

There’s definitely a high meat-head factor to the G-coupes, but the sedans are often driven by pretty normal people. They’re certainly not as bad as the few male BMW 3, 4, and 5 series drives in Southern California. Those guys make brodozer drivers look like James Bond. The vast majority of new and newish BMWs are…

My dystopian hometown seems to have more payday loan shops than fast food restaurants after seven years of Obama, and this guy seems like exactly the sort of predator that coring our country was meant to benefit. I suspect he’s as loathsome a piece of shit as you’d find lobbying for partial birth abortion, but that…

The difference is that the right ones only want to make each other rich. They don’t give a shit about taking away everyone else’s rights and killing another hundred million people in the name of Socialism.

Yes. We have nobody to blame but ourselves, particularly those of us that have supported this out of control Stalinist assumption of control over every facet of our lives through unconstitutional means.

This is the EPA. They’re lying when they say they’re going to be content to turn the US performance industry into their next bunch of kulaks to feed to their Stalinist buzz saw. They’ll be handing out $35,000 fines per engine or part to anyone they don’t like, just like Obama’s IRS has been accepted by the left as a…

Thanks. I missed it somehow yesterday morning.

I figured the big news today would be the EPA’s efforts to end all production-car based auto racing and kill the entire US aftermarket performance industry.

Sorry about the transmission bias. When I was am American car fan, I was a Chrysler corporation fan, so anything with 2 speeds in the ‘60s seems backwards to me.
