on an air-cooled, that fog probably is oil smoke from a valve cover gasket

sure, if you only want the left one...

Can we nominate the headline picture for COTD?

If this story doesn’t end up in the final article it will be a crime against humanity.   

In the late 90's I missed a chance to grab an 1986 E30 325ix dinan turbo. What a bad-ass first car. It may have been an auto, but who cares. It was a dinan turbo BMW for under $5k. I found it in the “treasure hunt” classified paper, I called the guy and he said it ran great an was recently serviced. Being 16 in NJ…

Damn, Sentra’s run 6-8 seconds in the quarter? Performance bargain of the century!  :)

A farmer would be much better served by a tacoma or any of the plethora of beat up old american pickups.

Sure 415 horsepower is not huge by today’s standards, but its not small either.

Space Force begs to differ...

I like this plan.   Weld the diff and apply throttle liberally.

I had it happen to me too. It was a locked-on right rear caliper. I noticed immediately when I got home I smelled burning brakes, and found my right rear wheel to be about 175°f and completely covered in brake dust. But I immediately replaced the caliper, pads, and rotor before driving the car again. I figure from the…

Nice Car, nice price.

There is at least 1 of these at my office. Driving around, rotor grinding in the right rear from what I guess is a locked on caliper. When I first saw the car, I thought it had awesome amber-gold tone paint on the rims. Then I realized it was only 1 wheel, and it was actually little rusty bits of what used to be the…

you’re right; Luis Castillo is no John Voit

I’d bet most people with a corolla don’t really care about keeping their corolla “all OEM”. And most body shops or insurance companies aren’t going to pay literally double for it either. And even then, list price for OEM may be $1000, but market price closer to $700. That’s a lot to replace if there is a problem, but…

Its a valid point, but the price of these things will come down as their adoption goes up. As for your specific references: 2018 Carolla LED headlight assemblies are $400 on rock auto. Litronic Bosch 996 housings are around $1000-1200 on ECS tuning or FCP euro. I’ve had to replace exactly 1 headlight housing in 17…

Well, yeah. “well designed X over shit-show Y” is a given for everything. 
However, assuming both are properly designed, I’d still rather have LED/HID over halogen.

In Chrysler's defense,  it was probably AMC that designed that crank

LED or HID headlights.

The only window that’s ever failed me was the crank window in my 94 Cherokee. During A road trip, in December, in Vermont. So I’m going to have to disagree about that part.
