I’m even considering this car, and I’m a lifelong Japanese sports car owner that had been thinking of getting into a new Porsche or Audi RS5. Corvettes just turned me off for so long because whenever I saw one, I instantly thought of either the socks with sandals and hawaiian shirt guy sitting in a lawn chair next to…

What exactly is the best manual take in the industry?

Little old ladies in their late 60's?

The rear quarters were the favorite part of my first gen 200SX. I kinda like the Mazda3 even more now.

I’ve rented a Q50 3.0T and loved it. It felt luxurious and had rip-your-face-off acceleration.

Everyone is discussing whether or not this is worthy of the Skyline name, meanwhile:

Despite the large Asian population in Madison, I’ve found it doesn’t have much of an effect on the food there. I was visiting Madison from LA, craving some bibimbap and galbi at the end of a two week trip, and found a highly reviewed Korean restaurant on Yelp, with all the reviews raving about how authentic it was and…

I could provide all sorts of advice as to how you can make things easier by driving cars that are obviously enthusiast cars, knowing enough about your car to properly diagnose issues and tell the mechanic what actually has to be fixed (or even just having the vocabulary to “speak car”), or by finding little tips and…

Detroit’s a whole ‘nother animal. I’ve lived in SoCal for 16 years, and never had a low-profile 18" or 20" wheel get wrecked or blow a tire because of the roads here. Driving my ‘87 Supra in Detroit for only 8 months had me replace all 4 16" completely bent oem wheels that were practically triangular. Luckily I had a…

As the owner of the two best (imo) classic Japanese two-tone color schemes, I fully agree with this take.

When my dad owned a LHD early Jaguar E-type in England, he said having to have your passenger check for oncoming traffic before passing was the only drawback to driving on the opposite side. (When my dad was stationed in England in the late 70's/ early 80's, he brought his USDM E-type with him to use as his daily.)

When my 69-yo mom was shopping for a car to replace her Mazdaspeed3, my dad and I were trying to get her into an STI since I really like like my BRZ tS and he likes his BRZ Series.yellow. After test driving both, though, she decided on the CTR. It really is leaps and bounds beyond the STI, and the AWD’s advantage is…

My mom bought hers for $500 under msrp in February. It’s only certain regions that dealers are price gouging in.

Here’s some spots I visited from two of my favorite anime:

For a commuter, I’d suggest trying out one of the later CRZ’s with the upgraded battery. I bought one when I got tired of dailying an AE86, and it was very fun to drive, economical, and cheap to insure and maintain. It would also swallow up anything you needed to carry in the hatch.

I didn’t see him stating that family was in tow, just that he was married.

Kids don’t have to come next.

A6 Allroad is coming to the US later this year. I haven’t heard anything about which powertrains will be offered however.

I’ve really come to appreciate this motor in my wife’s Q5. It really reminds me of a tuned SR20DET while driving around town. All it’s missing are blow-off valve noises. Except for the fact it’s a very ugly looking motor, there’s a lot of bubble-era Japanese cars this would be fantastic swapped into.

I know this happened with some cars in Tokyo Drift.
