Really cars from the 70’s are just so tiny they aren’t compatible with modern traffic lol. I can’t imagine what it’s like in those cars with the mirror mounted on the dash.

Miura. Also the best Lamborghini.

Driving a 914 at night in Dallas the land of bro dozers is miserable, I hate everyone. Even miatas.

Nice, I like it. I never really bother with what my cars look like, but I’ve always wanted to do a build with leather wrapped bar pads with catchers mitt stitching. But my cars are always green and tan, my rx8 is kind of a sleeper with some traded paint, and my 914 is to confined to put a bar in it without needing a…

+1 for white rims. Looks really good. I’m not against black rims, but they don’t have to go on everything. They are not always the answer. (My 914 has black rims lol)

Well I have a 914 and an rx8 in Texas so I’m not going anywhere near 3k if it’s hit the track or been driven hard lol. But 5k even in a season is pushing it. Core temps can be fine while head temps shoot up, so it can break down surprisingly fast even in short bursts.

Nonsense, a total frame off restoration wouldn’t cost 50k.

If you are tracking your car 5,000 a year is too long of an interval. The oil may still be good, but you are not able to detect an imminent catastrophic failure.

Yeah I’d pass on this one too, I’m just saying it’s not a good general rule, you are passing up gems, and a lot of people put lipstick on a pig.

If you rule out dirt driveways or have presentation standards that high to buy a car, you are missing.. you know what leave them for the rest of us.

The tires, I mean, every car needs them, and these aren’t uniquely expensive. If it’s because you have to buy z rated, well you are ruling out fun cars right off the bat. And if you drop a car like this off at the dealership and get “only oem” parts “because bmw knows what’s best, and I need quality” go sit in the…

Also if you buy a car to be noticed by bmw snobs go sit in the corner..

Yeah I agree, a 2k toyata pickup or something would be a good backup, save a bunch on insurance and if there ever is a serious issue you can throw the engine or tranny in the back of the truck.

You still haven’t done it? Do it! Lol. Hopefully he’ll reply and prod you as well, but on the whole they are dead simple cars. The only parts that are expensive are the manifold pressure sensor, the ecu, and the distributor. Basically because they are no longer made. The secondary air injector for start up is pricey…

I support the recreational use of white, but it shows gaps, and general sloppiness. A cop will spot it a mile away, you feel on top of the world, but being boisterous just makes you a target. Enjoy your speed in the shadows and nobody will be the wiser. Well except everybody in the bathroom. What were we talking about?

Maybe I am missing something, but you say it’s soft and it doesn’t wallow, but every picture I’ve seen of it in a corner I cringe at the wallow. I get the argument that an enthusiast is going to ditch that suspension and add sway bars, and mazdaspeed will have a warrantied replacement soon if they don’t already, so I…

How are you surprised? You religiously click his articles and drive up his post count. Pissing you off is money in the bank, you even link to his articles yourself in your endless crusade against him.

Lol $250 oil change? Does that come with a blowjob? And if you are getting one a year, please keep your time bomb away from the track, thanks.

First of all, it was a joke, second scripts can be run by any jackass, and third, to confuse automated systems like this it would be a hardware device that interferes with it’s sensors exploiting failsafe routines. None of that’s really hard to do, you could probably stick broomstick out of the window in front of the…

That’s kinda ridiculous. Seems like a motorcycle engine on a similar design would be pretty cheap to make. At 25k it wouldn’t even need to be street legal and people would buy them if tracks allowed them. I would.
