im sorry...a 6.2 liter supercharged V8? I realize professor einstein wants you to dream big and all...but it has to float, and cool, and have room for gas...and a jet pump that can make use of the torque but not the engine speed.

No offense. Perfectly good post; fun, light, appropriate snark. But I wish we could have seen what Fancy Kristen would have done with this. Moist grey poupon? Servants acting as a keel to keep it stable? A fleet for rounding up Narwhal?
You know you’re a Jalopnik writer when your first thought is ‘maybe I can spend more money and buy a ‘new’ 30-year old frame and part over my 30-year old components’ instead of ‘I should go buy something actually new.’
we can only hope...
Such a great point. Our children will look at SUVs like the past generation looked at minivans.
Only because it was actually a Mazda...
Word. I was thinking the same thing, trying to imagine the camera rigging needed to even get close to covering these sort of ground and air shots. You certainly couldn’t one shot it, but even editing it together to replicate something like this has got to be close to, if not impossible. It’s awesome.
This blew my tiny mind. Video tech has advanced so much in such a short time. Could you imagine if Gymkhana 1 had come out of the gate swinging this hard? We would have fucking lost it! I mean, we did lose it, but like it would have been 10X that.
And they had time to make dinner plans before the car stopped moving.
Wow, forgot about Zip disks! I usually used Jaz disks but yeah...
Having just acquired a 4-cylinder Camry as my sole mode of transportation, I have to tell you guys, already from experience, that this would be a major step up for a lot of people.
If they had never made the V8, and just offered a rear-drive 300 horsepower v6 relatively-low-slung coupe, we’d eat it up. Heck,…
Maybe dig before you write a story.

That’s fine, send some uniforms around to their house, or send some uniforms over to arrest ‘em. That’s what the uniforms are for.
Seriously, how many of us are reading this at work and can’t take 5-10 minutes to watch a video? I almost exclusively read this site while I am at work.
I won’t spoil the story for you
The historical analogue to cars is carriages, but ultimately horses. How many people do you know who own cars who feel passionately enough about them to take care of them the way you have to take care of a horse if you don’t want it to die? Personally, I know none. I got my first car magazine when I was 7 years old,…
Man, this supposed car enthusiast website just can’t stop itself from regularly posting articles about getting rid of cars...
And if he was a tanker in the military, he’ll be used to looking out of tiny slits for visibility!
I was damm good at Asteroids on my Atari 2600 (woody). I once spent almost 3 hours clocking up 1000 000 points just to see what happens. (It gets to 999 999 and then rolls over to 0... There, I’ve saved all of you 3 hours of your life.)
