Agree, if a car is good, equipping it with a good automatic transmission shouldn’t damn it.

Didn’t even read the article, but agree, 300 is correct.

Now it can receive the S54 engine it deserves.

This has been a big issue of mine since the day I came to understand what E=MC^2 really meant. One of the first things I asked when I learned this was “why didn’t they just fly an old space ship into the Death Star at warp speed to blow it up?” Because that would have worked.

Agreeeeeeeeeee

I agree that a lot of those 70-some percent would turn pretty quickly once actually exposed to the technology. I do believe, though, that manually driven cars will remain the biggest segment of the market for the rest of our lives.

Thank God he executed all of this before Trump. Tucker is the kind of guy Trump aspires to be, a Trump FTC would have laaaaaaughed at Therrien.

Wow, great find, congratulations. I hope it ends up being as hassle-free as it looks like it should.

Ahhhh, no! This is a miss! G20 had a great touring car pedigree! And it did rub off on the road car! I thought they drove great. Great car.

Thanks for the late-week lol.

Yea this comes to mind before that for me.

1. For being a guy who loves rickety old beaters, there are a lot of obscure failure modes that you live in fear of. I suppose your proximity to such beat cars may be the source of the fear.

I actually really like those wheels. They’re like an off-road version of something you’d see on a GT3 race car. Sharp.

Get a Civic. You drive a lot of miles. It’s practical, reliable, fun to drive and has a great manual trans. Once you’re comfortable, get something interesting.

It’s pretty damn low of me to say, but somehow I think those people deserved what they got.

I’d leave it as it is, just shore up all of the mechanical bits 100%. For some reason this ratty looking thing has more appeal to me than a clean, shiny, mint one.

This reminds me of the shovelpecker. He was this woodpecker at our camp who would peck the hell out of something metal at dawn, wake people up. It was pretty annoying. The first thing he got his rocks off on was a shovel hanging in a tree, hence his name. We hid that, so he found something else.

This concept looks very similar to the WRX concept, except it’s a sedan. Which tells me that the next WRX will look a helluva lot like the current one. The cladding-looking wheel arches are concerning, though. Given how well Americans receive any rugged-ized version of a normal car (Outback, XV Crosstrek, SUVs in…

I’d hazard a guess that it would cost another $20-$30k to get it to run and turn the wheels, depending on the labor rate of the engineer you hire.

Naah, you’ll get it for free, or for doing some easy challenge. You’ll drive it once, it will be uninteresting and you’ll mostly forget it exists. As with all VGT cars.
