This makes me feel relaxed and confident. This is why I read Jalopnik.

Who gives a shit how easy the plugs are to change? Stick a set of iridiums in there and forget they even exist for about 250,000 miles.

I enjoy pronouncing it both ways in the same conversation, just to bother people who think I give a solitary rat’s patootie whether there’s a bearing in their IMS or not.

The axle I fixed after much the same conclusion as you (get the right hammer, dummy!). After perusing the parts numbers, I figured out that Nissan uses the same inner and outer CV joints on everything from a Sentra to a GTR.

That stable is worth taking public transport for.

It’s a tossup, but both on my wife’s car, a 2006 Infiniti M35x.

But we finally get the Sky coverage on ESPN/ABC, which is a breath of fresh air. God love David Hobbs, but the rest of the crew was just like sandpaper on my eardrums. They’ve needed a more current driver in the commentary lineup for like 20 years.

Probably didn’t have to look long for that one, did you?

Land Yachts 4lyfe!

You know how many ‘teens’ would drive one just because they could call it the Bro-Ham?

That is a good point. There should be yacht competition, though!

Fuck yeah it’s a yacht.

It seems to me that with their history of hilariously floaty malaise-mobiles, they’re in a unique position to capitalize on poor infrastructure with a combination of huge balloon tires and soft suspension.

Yeah, that second part is the major reason for the 200ZR’s existence.

I was sorely tempted by one of those up until I saw it came with NICS instead of ECCS. The effort and time to change it over doesn’t make sense, and you’d be stuck with the non-ceramic turbo, smaller volume intake, and about 25HP down on the R32+ RB20DETs.

The point was that 200HP was better than the 150HP of the NA models :)

Except that the Merc has all that weight behind the front axle, whereas the Audi S-whateverthefuck had it all hanging out in front of it, kinda like a retarded reverse Porsche.

Came here for the piss jugs comment, came away satisfied.

That is a mighty lot of words for “it breaks the first time someone loads it up with pea gravel and then tries to close the latches on a few impossible to reach stragglers after unloading it”.

The incoming top of the line, PROFESSIONAL GRADE model can’t hold a sheet of plywood with the tailgate up?
