This might just sound crazy to you, but rotors do rust when they sit. Especially in a humid environment like Florida.

Too bad Subaru can’t actually do anything to the engine of the production model without Toyota crying foul.

I'm just glad he's wearing a Tactleneck.

There's just something so beautiful about the Cosworth that the Focus could never hope to achieve. Nothing against the Focus, that's just how beautiful the Escort is to me.

I've broken a HF breaker bar before. That being said, I usually buy Snap-On and Matco, because I do this for a living.

They would then have to cut weight from the rest of the chassis, because adding a turbo adds quite a bit of heft.

Does this mean that hipsters will also want manuals because no one else will have them? Because that would make me sad.

In general the turbo models, especiallt the 205, don't have head gasket issues. Those only really existed on the early NA 2.5s.

It's just a joke, like how people make jokes about gun violence, terrible drivers and Florida in the US. Lighten up, Francis.

Can we put Jalopnik livery all over the car?

Step 1: Buy plot of land.

Automatics have a transfer clutch.

As a service employee of this very dealership who got hired after this happened(I think?), I'm not really surprised. I don't trust any of the sales staff here.

Came to look for Geo, was not disappointed.

Then what does that make California? Because I live in California and I'm jealous of literally every other state in terms of automotive laws.

Quick! Someone get Jalopnik a GT so they can make a video with counterpoints to all of his arguments!

The average wiring harness nowadays is 150-200lbs. I'm sure there's almost nothing electric left in there, so they probably shaved some weight off there. Where else, I have no idea.

I totally did.

And I'll always remember my buddy's MS6 for overheating problems.

Agreed on the secondary DUI. I don't like having to think twice about choosing who I need to get me home. Although I'm sure in your situation, being passed out kind of makes you involuntarily along for the ride.
