Man, all these people saying “do this” or “this is the way” and I’m just wondering when I’ll have the time to rebuild my corolla engine so I can add boost.

996/997 Turbo.

It’s the same engine as in the Fiat 500 Abarth which has no reliability problem that I know of. But Turbocharged < NA (and I daily drive a turbocharged car).

i had been hearing about this laptop for years, and it’s so awesome that jalopnik did a small piece on it. it’s arcane stuff life this which keeps real gearheads thrilled.. wish there were more pics of the rebuilt MSO car or more details.. but great job. anything with mclaren f1 in it is like elvis covers for the…

I wish they were not restoring it. He’s right. It’s a time capsule and it’s so much more fascinating to get to see it as it looked when it came off LeMans at the end of the race than in mint condition. That’s a real shame imo.

I dunno man, I have an exotic and I live in NYC. I also hate track driving and rarely have the time to get out to do proper ‘grand touring’. I just like my car.

I’m not so sure. I don’t feel like I would fit into any kind of predetermined “tribe.” My interests are so varied (angular ‘80s sportscars, classic/vintage cars, auto racing, off roading, I could go on and on and on), I’d kind of resent any attempt at classification. That was the beauty of Clarkson, Hammond and May’s…

At this point I don’t think there is anyone left who will argue that a manual shifts better than the new autos. The new autos have a clear performance advantage. Some people just like to have the extra control and interaction with their car...like me. I can appreciate the technology, but I am not a racer. I like a…

Really. Buying something you can’t afford is your own fault. You don’t say? What a revelation. Personal responsibility? Not a real thing. It is ALWAYS somebody’s fault, and that somebody is never you. Just have to find them! And then sue them.

I don’t care if it’s politically incorrect, the joke just isn’t funny at all.

I think the reason that there is an overwhelming amount of incidents involving mustangs, is the sheer number of them available on the market. Their cheap(ish) horsepower, and people do really stupid things when they don’t know how to control something with more than 160hp. I think that is the reason why.

I’m not implying cyclists don’t have the right to be there at all, just that Mulholland seems like a horrible place to ride a bike. No shoulder, blind turns, with fast traffic. It’s a recipe for getting squished.

bikers are the worst.

I’ve named him Eldridge. I name them all. For instance I would name you Herbert.

Pretty sure it’s a Lambo dude.

Perhaps you folks don’t realize that throughout Amsterdam (and the rest of Netherlands too) there are typically no barriers/guardrails/fences etc. between parking spaces and the myriad of canals and other bodies of water. The Dutch just expect you will take the normal precautions to keep youself, your bike, and your…

Worst forum shit storm ever seen? Easy. Go to any thread on Gawker or Jezebel, make a comment where you might appear to not be a left wing liberal nut job. You could tell them the sky is blue. However, if they even THINK you are a Republican (even if thats not the case), not only is the sky NOT blue, but you are an…

On a Crown Victoria forum I occasionally return to, there was a man named Technoweenie who ALWAYS caused one shit storm or another.

Good. I always hated the “star in a reasonably priced car” segment. Very rarely did they have cool guests, instead featuring some vapid celebrity fuckwit I couldn’t give two shits about, blathering on about how little they know or care about cars.

Am I the only person who finds the GT-R hideous looking? It’s got the performance specs to shut me up, but man, this thing is ugly. Like, Juke ugly.
