Yep. And that Fireball V6 engine had some DNA that was shared with the original Buick 215 (3.5-liter) V8, which ended up being sold to Rover and ultimately powered Land Rover products, like the Range Rover P38 and Discovery II, as late as 2002 and 2004, respectively, in 4.6-liter guise, and TVR even bored it to a…

M54 3.0 inline six from BMW. Power band is basically the entire rev range and a modestly perfect 300 hp is easy.

Well, not the best, and I am biased, but I love the BMW S54. The only thing I believe keeping it from greatness is it doesn’t sound very good.

Also, on the complete opposite side of the spectrum, (and no, still not the “best”), but the GM 3800, (especially later series), was excellent. Well built, economic, good and…

Honda CBX

The best things come in twos.

I know you meant George Thorogood but now I can’t stop thinking about our first African American Supreme Court Justice performing that terrible song.

*Bad to the Bone by Thurgood Marshall intensifies*

Your challenge today is to find a running 1984 CRX with a stick shift for less than $2500. 

The 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2. Slow, ugly, expensive, and horribly built. And hotter than Satan’s microwave in the summertime. I’d suggest that it’d make a good candidate for an oddball LS swap if they were cheap, but Boomer lust has made these metal warts unjustifiably pricey.

The 1988 Trump edition Cadillac Brougham limo. Released at a time that nobody was buying limos, it was basically a grift. Trump didn’t order the large batch he was supposed to and instead just bought enough for personal use.

In Britain, the police would’ve been armed with extending batons, possibly tasers, wearing anti-stab vests and trained in de-escalation and non-lethal takedowns. It’s probably harder than you think to rush police from a distance and inflict a fatal stab wound on the person they’re talking to, when they’re already…

Unless it got all its miles before the Great Depression and has been sitting since then...

Soon to be renamed “Female Empowerment Sex Positive Avenue.”

“I really want to commend the members of the 41 precinct because they were trying”

Early seasons of New Old Top Gear (i.e. the Clarkson/Hammond/May years). So many great cars, so many great episodes - the race to Verbier in the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, the first trip to America - the review of the Prodrive P2 and the inimitable Ariel Atom

I am so over the obsession of ‘blacking everything out’ to make things look sporty. I know it’s been common practice for decades, but I feel like automakers have taken it to the next level these past few years. To me it just makes the car look more amorphous and generic, and this photo really just highlights how you…

I like this analogy.  I’m a use it from now on

I am black and my cousin is a retired state trooper. He hates the cops. He has been harassed by police, and he told me that the tap dancing they do when they find out who he is Gregory Hines level. 

The difference between tigers and cops, is that tigers don’t cover for other tigers. Even the “good” cops hold that thin blue line and cover for the bad ones, which is why they are all bad ones.

And now she has learned a valuable lesson, the police’s desire to help is highly conditional on them seeing you as “one of the good ones” and as soon as they think you aren’t, they will kill you in a heartbeat with a smile on their lips and a song in their heart. ACAB.
