This was a kind of lame joke about Fiero engine swaps that didn’t land, but I do appreciate the variety of swaps people have done to this car! I’d actually dig one with a turbo. 

Will a supercharged GM 3800 fit? Or a Northstar V8?

Hey cool now that the auto industry is back CAN WE HAVE THE NEW BRONCO CONFIGURATOR PLEASE THANK YOU

I’ve literally only ever driven ONE car that I thought was made worse by having a manual, and it was one of these.  God, the manual in these is just fucking awful. CP, buy a Boxster instead. 

Nice

I don’t think the state of Michigan is drawing a distinction between “luxury cars” and “cops and firemen cars,” and prohibiting the construction of Lincolns, Cadillacs, or...whatever luxury cars FCA still builds.

In any event, there are plenty of Fords, Chevys, and Dodges/Rams that are more expensive and more

Tuk Tuk, Tuk Tuk Coupe, Tuk Tuk Grand Coupe, Tuk Tuk SAV...

In Munich, a BMW engineer awoke, in a cold sweat, realizing there was a market segment they had not yet tried to fill. 

The other part of this that in other states, automotive manufacturing is coming back, as well. So if you’re Tesla and you’re looking at GM and Ford and FCA talking about restarting this week, you have to wonder why your factory can’t restart safely, as well.

It’s too bad they don’t make these to fit the 987s; I’d love to replace the outdated nav system with something I can actually use. 

Um, yeah, that’s not a 1996 Corvette interior, friends.”

CP. The 968 was always an odd duck, and the cabs even more so. I appreciate it for being different, but at this price (as many others have said) the 986 and 987 Boxsters are a much better choice.

Get an 06+ 987S and don’t worry about the IMS (they aren’t nearly as failure prone as the earlier cars), or buy this 3.4L

Still looks better than a C8.

The argument is that a crash now is significantly less likely than a crash in “normal times.” You can argue that isn’t true, and frankly I’m not sure how you go about quantifying it one way or another, but these guys apparently believed that the traffic difference was great enough that it gave them an advantage to go

I think the idea that it’s somehow worse to do this during the coronavirus is quite wrong—yes, a crash will pull resources away from the virus, but a crash during “normal” times could very well kill a family or other innocent roadgoers. Minimizing the risk of that kind of incident seems to at least balance the

Spoken like someone that’s never owned a BMW.

OMG they forgot to install it! What terrible quality control. 

Maybe.  But my relatively early-build Model 3 Performance (August 2018) has been shockingly reliable (see what I did there).  It’s been back in for service once, for a minor trim issue related to one of the door handles.  That’s it. 

This is a vastly underrated post.
