I like the way this was modded. Most of the mods seem to be geared toward better cooling which is what you really need if the plan is to drive a force inducted car hard for significant amounts of time.

You’re probably right on most points except top speed and fuel consumption. Top speed on the Monza straight last year was around 223mph, and for a while now F1 cars have been on 30 gallon tanks and run their entire race with no refueling, and that’s with all the hard braking and cornering and stuff.

Now waiting for some super rich dude to take an F1 car out on a Gumball rally. Or try to break the Cannonball record with one.

Because it does exactly what you asked about: getting the banks to forget about the shortfall.

I kinda agree with this. The Jeep sustained notable less damage to its structure than many other cars doing this test, no doubt because a great deal of the energy isn’t immediately dissipated on impact.

Jeep owners can use this special spare tire cover as a diagnostic tool to assist in evaluating the situation should they ever encounter this issue.

If you’re in a situation where you aren’t able to make car payments there’s a good chance you can get bankruptcy. Chapter 7 will typically exempt stuff like your house and other essentials, and if you’re so bad off as to not be able to pay your car you’re probably down to just the essentials.

I like how this looks like a WRC roof scoop/camera pod.

Old people are maniacs!

Feels like Hyundai Kia is now where Toyota was at a few decades ago. They’ve built a good car, but their brand carries no street cred.

And I just realized I read that as ‘shitty loads’, when you in fact wrote ‘shitty roads’. Either way trucks rule at both.

So much this. I’ve hauled spare engines, transmissions, tall potted plants, and all kinds of stuff in my old Sport Trac. I would never have done any of that in a minivan. Just the risk of oil or wet soil dripping onto the interior would have made it untenable.

I see the super rich are doing some retail therapy.

I don’t hate all the Glas cars, and think the 1600GT (pictured above) looked brilliant. My issue is only with the particular car in this article, which really just reminds me of the malaise era.

Feel like this doesn’t really fit in with the BMW aesthetic even back then. The 3.0 CSL looked way better, and if we wanted an Italian-designed BMW then there’s the M1.

The pandemic just gave us the best excuse to wear drag racing helmets everywhere and people aren’t running with it?

A lot of these are EVs or hybrids. My theory is that with gas so cheap there’s less of a reason to get something frugal.

Well, if someone is willing to call NP on the zero fucks 240sx I’m sure someone will likewise say this is fine.

Too late to edit: “they stand to recover significantly less because the buyer has paid so little on the car”*

Agreed, in this case the risk is on the banks and lending companies. In case of a default they stand to recover significantly less than what the buyer has already paid on the car.
