my only complaint with this gen is it had low ground clearance car tires it would have been a little better with 2.5 inches more ride height and a bit more sidewall.  the one in this post looks like it has a lift kit. 

It’s easy to say “lack of prior planning”, but where do you build indoor storage for this many cars? That’s an awful lot of real estate to have to maintain and pay taxes on for fifty years in order to use for three days.

They might not care about the cars, but they care about money... it’s way cheaper to have cars for sale than to have all of your cars scrapped, have nothing to sell while waiting for new cars, and also go through all the time and paperwork for the insurance company...

I can appreciate this - the M273 is such a great NA engine — lots of power, great sound, extremely reliable (after the first run). The hole in the dash is likely from the old instrument cluster having a rheostat.

I was trying to remember the name of these things the other day. I always liked the looks of them.

All three of those cars are definitely Impalas! The links work fine for me and there’s no reloading issue on my end, so it might be your browser/computer

Yes - exactly. I’m kinda surprised there’s any outrage over this. His own statements that he was swerving “while putting on a seatbelt”, combined with his high BAL and his failure of the field sobriety test is pretty damning.

I’m not seeing any Impalas. The links go to the elephant burial ground.  And this site constantly reloads l

Any sort of test involving physical activity is always questionable in my mind.

.067 is pretty high though... Might not be legal limit high, but I know myself and I’m pretty buzzed by .05, let alone .067. If the dude was swerving “putting on a seatbelt” something tells me this guy was driving impaired, which is still illegal. Yes .08 is the legal limit but you can still get a DUI while under .08…

“a supercharged 3.8-liter V6 making 240 horsepower.”

At least in the states I have lived, refusing a sobriety test is treated as a failure. I’ve seen the online “advice” that if you think you’ll fail the sobriety test, you should refuse it and delay as long as you can for the blood test in hopes that it will take multiple hours to get there so your body has more time to…

This is all funny, ha-ha, and all... but in all seriousness, I need a better picture of the wide-body 911 on the right.

Correction: I think the one on the right is a 7th gen.

If Former President Shit for Brains wanted a tariff on mexican made autos, why didnt he bother negotiating it into his NAFTA 2.0.  He stated it was the greatest trade agreement ever.  I cant imagine his supporters will think that through, or that the media will spend more than a comment or two on it.  They let him say…

There’s a big difference between taking the engine up to the rev limiter, and actual over-revving which can only really be caused by downshifting.

When I was 22 years old, not only was I a horrible driver of manual cars, I also lied a lot to try to cover my ass. Not saying he’s lying about not taking it to a road course. But after a quarter mile run, manual cars are downshifted to slow down in conjunction with brakes so you don’t run out of track. Adrenaline and…

>student mechanic

the engine had been red-lined multiple times

As they should. Overrevving is 100% user error. Hitting redline is the engine’s method of preventing overrevving. Mechanical overrev is what happened with this car, apparently multiple times. One can mechanically overrev their engine without experiencing immediate catastrophic failure, also knows as a money shift.…
