I’ve taken to revving my cars motor whenever they do it to me. Its a manual and very rev happy. Whether they are doing it for lane splitting or to just to be obnoxious at a stop light or gas stations. They typically look at me completely perplexed like no one has ever had the gall to point out how asinine it is.

Jalopnik authors are notorious for thinking they are Gods gift to being patronizing.

I’ve heard some call the Ferrari’s redlines implying they never had gradations or indicators once you hit the redline area. The Ford version did have indicator gradations but not numbers. Personally I think Ford did a better job. I’ve seen a few Ford versions at junkyards and have been tempted to grab one for the…

I belive it was on the 308 GTB Ferrari but I’m sure others got it as wel. Ford put some on Merkurs as well as the SVO mustang and turbo coupe Thunderbirds. Thought it was a cool middle finger to the federal mandate.

I do wish they would tone down the bro-vado. Screams Peter Pan generation “I’m a real man now!”. Then again the full-size trucks scream baby boomer self indulgence like only 13 feet of chrome and saddle hide can.

Does this mean I can no longer call my step fathers the five point slow? Maybe four point wine? Someone help me out. I can’t admit to liking it till we have a Chevy Chase/Jonathan Taylor Thomas style misadventure.

I’m sorry the 1990’s Grand Turismo every friend tireless fanaticism has made me bitter. I’ll be nice. I guess when a horse is beaten well past death you start wish you could just bury it. The 2000’s S2000 kind of left the same resentful feelings.

Next weeks installment: Blah Blah blah...”MY” Skyline.. followed by Blah blah “MY” GT-R. Sometimes I get the feeling you are the only person to ever import a car stateside. Be careful you may become one of those people that works their car into every conversation.

Agreed... also if you look closely you can clearly see they are parked within the lines and not in handicapped parking spots. A clear giveaway that this can not be real.

I was looking for my brother to tell him our grandfather had passed away. I saw him walking along the road and pulled over. Just as I was breaking the news a brodozer passed by and coaled us. I have held contempt for these piles of shit ever since. It makes it double frustrating knowing they likely have never towed or…

I’m speaking in broad terms (painting with a broad brush..etc) the post was to winded as is and I’m not looking to get into asbestos arguments. I think most people understand what I’m getting at with the analogy but I’m sure I’ll take flak from some.

Well said.

They simply think attention is the same thing as respect... Basically how a 3 year has trouble distinguishing positive attention from negative and therefore throws his tipsy cup on the ground to get you to acknowledgement.

These guys are ultimate douchebags. I love that being a “man” has come down to owning a truck, pretending to have a hard ass persona, and showcasing your self indulgence. I work on these “rigs” at the shop I’m employed at and these bro diesel owners have the most abrasive personalities. They are the types of guys that…

I admit I’ve seen Maytag washer and dryers with cleaner handles than a lot of cars. I hate that they stuck a big modern refrigerator door handle on the last two Z’s.

Not sure that gen gets to be held among “one of the fastest Japanese cars ever made.”280hp is noting to laugh at but your fan boy is showing.

Technically still new and probably won’t set you back a “ton of money” but still a pretty penny for what it is. As soon as these are no longer available people will lament it. Same for the Toyota Venza. Just look for a good condition Wagovan or Tercel sport track. The prices are ridiculous.

That factory paint job with factory op art interior would be perfection.

GM’s square wheel arches come to mind. They never look quite as good in photos as they do in reality.

During my automotive elective days there was a girl who owned an 80’s VW with mechanical fuel injection that had went out on her a few blocks away. I must have had a Mentos freshmaker that day because I had the idea to sit in the engine bay and shoot a can of starting fluid into the intake to get the car to the shop.…
