COTD right here.

Hot take:

I’d fight you, but clearly you are blind. So that wouldn’t be very fair. 

Neil - I hate that you got this opportunity and I didn’t. But I love that you shared it with us. Thanks for the great article and outstanding photography.

It should be called...wait for it...

Jesus I’m trying to think of an insult worse then “reminded me of the last generation Sunfire/Cavalier” and have got nothing. If I was Nissan marketing this would have me curled up in the corner crying right now.  

“for the trails” you’d never drive a six figure one-of-one vehicle, either. You’d buy an old Jeep that you didn’t mind getting a scratch in the paint.

Generally, exotic and unique is not what you want when stuff breaks on the trails.

“Trend.”

That ‘87! Hubba hubba

CP for me... but I love visiting this seller’s website every few months just to dream about some of the cars they have for sale.

In before the entire Miata community savages you over the timing belt mistake. These cars absolutely do have a timing belt, which I can verify having owned a 90 and changed its belt personally.

Funny thing.. my step son had picked a Craig list add car so I went with him to buy it. Of course I brought a small pistol to the transaction as should all Craig list buys. The guy turned out to be real cool however when he showed up he had a much.. much larger gun in a holster on his side. Lol. I don’t think he even…

2003 Acura CL Type S with 6MT? One of the lucky 3511!
Hopefully its in better shape than mine. Body on mine needs more work than its worth. It’ll be “donating” its engine and trans to my Del Sol. :)

DAMN! That’s how you do it.

OK, you have all my well wishes and good luck. Now, some advice: come off that clutch slow. My guess is that the Camaro is going to have a bit of a tight clutch and a smaller sweet spot. At first, you’re going to want to ease off that clutch even slower than you think you should. Another thing: the first few times you…

When you grow up in a household with nothing but manual transmissions that’s just what you learn on. As a child I remember being in the back seat as a friend of my mom’s was teaching her to heel-and-toe in a Lotus Cortina. Step-dad’s cars were all manual as well, from the MGC GT through the many 5-series he had. When…
