I am heading to Japan for the first time for the second half of September and the very beginning of October this year. Any cool shows/meets at that time? 

That seems approximately 10.6 million times more likely.

“I always got plenty of looks, and cops would pull me over just to check out the car.”

People that leave trash in my car after a road trip. My car was immaculate when I picked you up; why do you think it is acceptable to litter my floor with empty bottles and wrappers thereafter?

Almost all of the Jalopnik infrastructure articles have nothing to do with 93.8% of Americans, let alone your international audience.

Back when I was in high school, I drove a Pontiac Fiero GT. Of course I made the car loud and drove aggressively, because I was young and dumb. Anyway, one of the roads near my house that I frequented had some of those suburbanites that give you the stink eye just for daring to drive down “their” street.

Yeah, but the edge itself looks kinda ragged at the top of the close-up of the wheel. I can’t imagine he is driving around on a carbon-fiber wheel with a compromised structure, even at less than 280 mph...

What is going on with the lips on those wheels? Are they curbed or something? The clearcoat looks funky.

Ohh look, ANOTHER NYC subway article. How many of these are you going to shit out over ONE PIECE of INFRASTRUCTURE? Why not look at the interstate system or the crumbling bridges of the nation?

Why do you insist on posting SOOOO many articles about the MTA sucking? We get it! The authority is corrupt! The infrastructure is crumbling! New Yorkers are inconvenienced, made late, and generally screwed over daily.

My story comes from the other side, when I actually worked at the local Advance Auto Parts. To pull into the store where I worked, it was a left turn across a lane of oncoming traffic. When I got to work this fateful day, there was a car sitting diagonally across the driveway waiting to turn left (into the lane I…

Shaggin Wagon in the Snow!

Never became available for me...

A long-time friend of mine is on hard times and is living paycheck-to-paycheck. He has this POS 1998 Ford Explorer (4.0L SOHC V6) that he was given by his stepmother that he relies on to get to his 2 jobs. It began to lose coolant at an alarming rate around Christmas last year, and being that he cannot afford to…

I don’t think that 944 made it anywhere. If you look at the rear driver’s side corner, the bubbles from the exhaust stop right around the time it gets to the minivan. It is done for.

Yep, plus P&P head and manifolds, Enem cams, 3.5" downpipe, drop-in intercooler, etc etc. Breaking in the clutch on wastegate pressure for now.

Yep. There is a bunch done to it. Once I do a couple of iterations with my tuner, I should make about 400 whp as well.

Well, that platform has a lot of compromises. Its packaging is poor; Jeremy Clarkson once joked about how they could fit such a tiny interior into such a huge car (paraphasing).

It is a joke, that is a prancing moose, not a horse. www.davebarton.com

Sorry for being anal. I have a thing for manual-transmission wagons...here is mine.
