This was when I was back in college. I was driving a beat up 1999 Ford Ranger King Cab with a Mazda B3000 engine swap. The four wheel drive system sometimes worked, sometimes not, and it decided when it would kick in and out. The truck also only started half the time and when it did start, it would die every time you…

So many buttons. I’m still trying to figure out this one.

My first car was a 1996 BMW M3. It was my dream first car and I busted my ass to make sure I could purchase one when I got my licence. I did end up buying it and while that car almost killed me several times and got my in a TON of trouble, it was one of the best purchases I have ever made.

I have this fantasy that Bernie takes F1 as close to death as possible without actually entirely killing it. At this point he become bankrupt and is forced to relinquish his stake while funding the lawyers he must hire to defend his multinational fraud charges.

What annoys me is some cars do have a lot of fun options, the Beetle being one.

Behind these prison bars is the most powerful beast ever captured. This serial killer has murdered countless rear tires on the prowl for unsuspecting tarmac but now is behind bars and will be put to work defeating racers all over the world.

You edited your post and when I wrote my reply all it said were "catalytic convertors."

What the fuck are wrong with catalytic convertors? Catalytic converters are modern miracles. They DRAMATICALLY reduce the harmful emissions from vehicles (by a huge amount...we're not talking a little thing here...a lot of people underestimate what they do), and do so in a way that is extremely power and fuel…
