From a performance standpoint, the Ridgeline is an intriguing vehicle. It’s one of the few trucks with independent rear suspension and AWD (not 4WD).

Everyone knows that stickers (especially Type-R stickers) add horsepower, but how does that work exactly?

How does a manual transmission actually work? 

It’s basically just a few adjustable pipes stuck together.

Why the hell isn’t there a turbo kit for the 3rd Gen Tacoma yet? 

Old German cars were reliable and fixable.

I mostly like tuner cars now. I’d rather drive a lowered Volkswagen GTI than a Ford Mustang, for example. There’s something about finding (or creating) extraordinary elements in ordinary cars that is very appealing to me.

I’d love to see one pitted against a GT-R.

Quad turbo 4-banger, 1 turbo for each cylinder.

I dunno...

I feel like a 475 horsepower AWD SUV that weighs 2.5 tons is probably not a great vehicle to lose control of at high speed.

All you need are strong opinions about weirdly-specific aspects of cars and a computer.

The worst car is, without a doubt, the Chevrolet Colorado.

A friend of a friend who owned a Dodge Neon SRT-4. This guy would regularly get it up to 140 ( I think it topped out at like 150?) on public roads, often without a seatbelt and sometimes while drinking/drunk.

137/5 is roughly 27 times the legal limit. What the actual hell.

“How do you still have a license with 30-40 speeding tickets?”

I feel like most people rack up at least a few tickets over the course of their driving lives, but 30? That’s effing insane.

Too real. Most of the 80s Japanese cars in my region have long since rusted to nothing, and a lot of the 90s ones are gone, too.

If I had 20k to spend on old VWs, I would buy a disposable beater fleet of Craigslist Jettas.
