Don’t forget the good ole digital tire pressure gauge too.

In no order of preference:

A couple years ago, I flew from Indonesia to Italy. On my first leg of the trip (Jakarta-Qatar), I couldn’t shut my eyes after a good meal and a couple whiskeys.

Me too. Sign me up for the whole season!

Come to Jakarta, Indonesia while you wait for the A2 to get legal. We’ve got all sorts of weird Asian-endemic vehicles and shenanigans you’ll love. Probably so much that you’d forget the A2.

I just watched a YouTube clip of Barra sound compilations and I instantly went HOLY FUCK I WANT ONE. Especially in a ratty Toyota/Isuzu pickup. Just to mess with AMGs and Ms. Bonus points if said messing is done with bags of cement and tools on the bed.

Gotta love that Mustang vs 300C scene from Drive.

I’ve watched the non-Trofeo review on Motor Trend, where Lieberman drove it to the boonies with street tires. I wonder what this thing could do if you fit whatever smallest wheels that clears the brakes, and some off-road rubbers.

Is it wrong that I kinda want to Roadkill this truck? Get one with Hemi and 2WD, make it *even* faster and sit closer to the ground, and scare people I don’t know.

FWIW, where I live, Civic with the turbo 1.5 motor and CVT costs like $30k. Accord is about $47k with the 2.4 motor — we don’t get the V6 here. Talk about crazy.

Mamma Mia or Waterloo?

If and when I’ll ever have one of these stupidly fast saloons, I’d Uber the crap out of them. Because I like scaring people I don’t know, and I totally hate seeing fast cars being the ultimate sit-in-your-garage-machine/spends its life going to the detailer/going to Cars & Coffee and hopefully not being prayed upon by…

My one and only thought:

I’d roadtrip the hell out of that van, a la Roadkill.

I believe that that particular prequel of Star Trek is kinda like a giant middle finger to the rest of the series, but I don’t really care. It rocks.

Isuzu Panther to certain Asian countries is what Ford Panther platform vehicles are to the States: they’re endemic.

Hotter take: I bet a Fiata RF looks cool.

Isuzu Panther would like a word with you:

Lives in a large city in a third-world nation, can confirm that jaywalkers are assholes. Especially those who cross 5- or 6-wide roads thinking they’re on a catwalk or something.

This restores my faith in humanity. Now carry on with the Jeep/Ford puns and jokes, people.
