I own a Nissan leaf, and today it was being really strange. It does a thing about once a month where it announces to you your energy economy ranking (telling you how eco friendly you are) and it interrupts the radio and talks to you in a robot voice. It’s literally the most annoying thing in the world, and I have no…

The DJ/Dancer relationship reminds me a little of the Driver/Bicycler dynamic. When you’re in your car, bicyclers are dicks. But when your on your bike? WTF is wrong with DRIVERS?!?

You’re not paying $40k for a Ford or for a Focus. You’re paying for the very expensive engineering required to make this particular car. That's how I'd think about it at least.

“I will totally buy one.” -Every Jalopnik Focus RS fan a month ago.

99.7% of people who say things like “drop a manual in it” have NO IDEA how much work that entails. You could spend $5k on a different manual e30 and probably still come out ahead

As part of one of the busiest bay area independents, we do not allow for customer-supplied parts in almost every instance. These reasons have been posted in various other comments, but here’s the short version:

I’m a Shadtree Indie who is very selective with the side jobs I take on, mostly doing jobs I have the skills to do....Just within the last month I’ve had 3 Brake job customers supply me with the wrong parts...It always goes something like this, Customer: “I know I need Brake Pads, or Someone told me I just need Pads,…

And that is awesome, like I said you have to drive what makes you happy and what you like. Not what people think you should drive. People feel like once they “grow up” they need to drive X because it is more responsible or that dave next door got a new luxoUV so I need that too. I say fuck that, I might have a…

Screw that noise, I’m the type to buy cheap used sports cars so I can mod the hell out of them.

If you look at 2 methods for doing something, one that will be cheaper and probably work, and one that will be more expensive and definitely work, do the more expensive one. The cheaper one will either not work, or break sooner, and you'll just have to do the more expensive one too.

Low center of gravity, rear weight bias, as much weight as possible, and graphite powder the heck out of the axles. Also, polish the axles to a mirror finish and smooth out the wheel hubs to reduce friction as much as possible.

but I thought IRS couldnt drag.

Here's the thing... and please pardon my $60k salary, but if one has the means to afford a $200k car, doesn't it stand to reason that another 65k for a proper supercar shouldn't be too difficult to cough up?

After a month of playing Destiny and thiroughly examining every inch of the world, I'm going to explain the story and all its nuances.

Miura for obvious reasons.

Hands down.

No, and no, single 22 year old sorority alums generally do well in that arena. Nice try. You seem really happy with your life, though!
