Big Oil hates it.

The Abarth 124 is a dream to drive. And it’s quad exhaust literally made me jump when it was started up in front of me.

I learned to drive on an ‘81 Spider pretty close to this one (my dad’s was dark blue) when I was 14/15. My dad bought the car new shortly after I was born. It sparked a life-long love of similarly small, sporty cars: 350z, RX-8, 135i, M Roadster.

My feelings on this are all over the place.

I love Lotus, but I have to post this image yet again on another Lotus article about a “new Lotus”:

Pretty, but there is WAY too much out there in the way of old RVs that one could do A LOT to for ~$30k.

Is that headrest decal taking the place of the grid girls? And where can I get one?

Season 2, episode 3

It’s worth mentioning The 24hr War here. Decent documentary about this.

(Best inside joke of this show)

Actually I just got confirmation that we’ve reserved a 370z, but we’re taking that on the Hakone Tollway, but sadly that’s Monday through Wednesday.

I know a design team that’s getting a bonus this quarter!!!

Minivans having poor depreciation is something I don’t understand; all used minivans come with at lease a full-bowl’s worth of old Cheerio’s under each seat!

Did the Kia Sedona come out with a new body style or something? That one is surprising. Kias are decent cars now... The original Sedonas were the hottest of hot garbage, though; Not only were they extremely cheap feeling, they were only 6-seaters as well.

I’m headed to Tokyo in May... how can I “accidentally” stumble upon one of these with my wife?

I dunno, I don’t see the gas engine in the pics above (maybe I am missing it). Also, I feel like a nitro engine would be loud enough, especially at full clip, to scare the cats away.

That’s what this company calls this camera rig, but they are not an R/C car manufacturer; so my assumption is that it is a chassis from Losi, Traxxas, Team Associated, or some other R/C manufacturer.

The 8 Series (e31) loses a couple GT-ness % points due to rear seats. What, are we going to take kids on our grand tour? No.

As a former hobby shop employee selling R/C cars, I’m actually more interested in what R/C chassis this is built on/off of.

The Corvarado! I’d at least add the side mirror guns to any car.
