Allstate. There’s your problem.

I just wish I could figure out exactly how the state of Ohio chooses to “randomly” pick people for insurance checks. I’ve been “randomly” selected to have to take ten minutes out of my day to contact my insurance company and have them fax proof of insurance to the state every single year for the last ten years. I’ve…

My driver’s ed instructor had us go through the McDonald’s drive-through and order him food. Every single time we were in the car. One of us had to go through the drive through so he could get an extra-large double cheeseburger value meal with a diet coke. At least after the first time we all knew that he was likely…

Rusty, automatic, WRX with questionable mods? Yeah no thank you.

My first car was an ‘85 EXP in that burgundy red color Ford was so fond of in the 80s. When it came time for me to buy my first car my parents were willing to throw in half the cost AND cover insurance as long as I agreed to become my little sister’s driver to wherever she had to be. The only caveat was that they got…

At least from the abstract you linked to they are talking only about education not necessarily wealth. While those two are often correlated they are not directly correlated, the world has plenty of poorly educated wealthy people. I personally don’t read that abstract and think wealth gap, to me it just says that the…

My story doesn’t actually involve the list of Craig. 05 F-150, good body, moderate mileage, brand new tires, needs an engine. $1500, just get it out of my driveway because it is a pain in the butt to move other cars around it and I don’t have time to swap an engine. First guy who actually comes and looks at it is a…

They look like nine spoke versions of the BBS CH R wheels. The CH R might be close enough to the look you want and might be available in a pattern and offset to fit a TSX.

BMW 2002 with a Subaru STi wing. Now there is a sentence I never thought would be spoken.

Similar thing happened in Cleveland a few years back, conveniently took out a pedestrian bridge that the city had been procrastinating on tearing down after it was deemed unsafe.

When they first came out Ford did invitation style drivers events with the LS and all of its European and Japanese competitors. Acceleration, braking, handling, autocross type thing. Probably the only event of that type I've ever been to where the competitor cars weren't obviously handicapped in different ways. I came…

So it basically gets about the same MPG as my M5 except it doesn’t take premium so it is cheaper to run. I wonder what the ROI would be on trading the M5 for a Hummer. The Hummer would probably be better for my new daily commute.

It has some interesting mods that is for sure and someone put some time and a bit of money into it. It looks to me to not be enough to make it 500HP at the wheels like claimed but then again it also doesn't appear to have hi-flow cats like claimed. Love the combined 5.7 and 6.0 badge to make a new 6.7 badge that…

Did you get a discount from Japanese Classics for the write-ups and page clicks you've been getting them? Before you started this process I know I never would have thought it could be so easy to import a car and how simple a company could make it. I thought we were still kind of in the days when I asked the guy at a…

Man the cages\frames on those things are pretty amazing. I assume they get tested on a regular basis with this type of event but it sure looks like a lot of un-reinforced bends to become failure points should it flip and tumble.

The long sad story of my '06 M5. When I bought it the car had a few minor issues but seemed mostly solid and like a great deal. I knew that the dealer I bought it from got it at auction and had the local BMW dealer fix whatever was wrong with the engine. Well that's what I thought at least. One of the coil packs goes…

That frame isn't even close and that car as it sits would never make a driver again, at least not a safe one. As a source of parts for some other project $18k for the engine, harness, transmission, brakes, suspension partial interior seems like a pretty good price.

Cleveland Pick a Part\ Power and Performance depending on which sign you read. One of the best places to source drivelines in the entire country.

Pretty sure it survived, but it's probably never flown that high in its life."

How many have they built? If they've sold five and had two on stage at Geneva, one that burnt on Top Gear and however many they've had to sacrifice to the gods of road safety in the US and EU it would seem that they've probably built a dozen or more. Economy of scale has to be hitting soonish you'd think at the…
