Turn signals. They should be amber. Always. Never red.

What REALLY bakes my noodle is that the Germans actually go out of their way to make US/Canada-specific taillights with red directionals when the ones they use in Europe (with ambers) would be completely compliant in the US.

I’m guessing you bought yours sometime late ‘00s to early ‘10s to put 70k miles on it? They’ve been creeping back up in price since then and gaining owners and miles on most examples.

But good luck finding a clean one under 10k :(

A guy you’ve never heard of? So you’ve never heard of 3-time NHRA Top Fuel champion Antron Brown? Must be pretty comfortable under that rock of yours. Also, William Fichtner isn’t a has-been. If you actually read up on him, he’s actually taken a break from acting to be with his family. And Tom Ford is a former Fifth

maybe he is referring to more races and genders, needs 100 different combinations to appease the current PC climate.

Were you familiar with the original 3 before that show aired?

An Actor, a Drag Racer and a Journalist.....how much more diversity do you want?

This is the automotive equivalent of sticking a rolled towel down your pants or a girl putting socks in her bra. Eventually you get found out and that’s far worse and embarrassing than just being honest.

One of the big problem I see in BMWs is I feel the design language is outdated (and, since all cars look the same, they ALL look outdated), and the SUVs look out of proportion. I feel Audi does a much better job at creating attractive vehicles.

Wow, I don’t care that much about the special edition stuff either (when it is trim, cosmetics, and options, factory go faster bits are another story) but it is still a remarkably preserved example. You have seen the cobbled together, questionable workmanship, questionable parts sources frankencars that have been

You know, this deserves its very own Jalopnik article. But we’ll probably get something about the new Honda or why Crossovers aren’t neat.

As a courilary: my dad owns a 1966 C2, which he bought second hand from an F-4 phantom pilot in 1969 (it still has a set of Navy pilot wings on the dash, and an F-4 patch decal on one of the windows).

Compressed sand casting is pretty remarkable. You can make incredibly complex pieces using it.

This one is close. For $6K the AC better be working. I’m going out on a limb here thinking this is not a factory paint job. Color change? How well was it done or is it a 50 footer?

MV Agusta, too (three?).

I think that the sound tube is a fantastic idea. I’ll have to take your word for how well it works in the Mustang (or doesn’t work)...but intake noise is what I want to hear when I’m driving and hit the loud pedal. Something that transmits the right amount of intake noise to the cabin without turning it into a

eh, it was decent. 2nd episode sucked, and some of the rest was just too forced, but overall entertaining enough for me to watch. That said, it wasn’t “must watch” tv, it took me a while to finish the season.

I was with you until you started to try and work backwards to horsepower at the crank. That’s the #1 sin of analyzing chassis dunk information. A properly calibrated chassis dump is good at telling you the force & power generated at the roller. That’s it.

Oh that’s a crock. You’re splitting hairs. She was clearly participating in an event where the car would have been exerted to heavier stresses among many of its components in comparison to daily driving. This is what the legal mumbo jumbo refers to when stating that “racing” is not covered. It doesn’t mean that so
