I personally had this happen on my car after going to a less-than-legal tire store that I’d been going to for a decade and had just changed management. About a week after getting a new tire, I round the corner heading into my neighborhood at about 1 a.m. and the front left drops to the ground as I watch my wheel run…

Yeah that bothers me that a 4Runner might end up in the junkyard. Those things are basically indestructible, until insurance gets involved. Then suddenly they’re as dead as a 2-year-old 1990s Chrysler.

Hate to be that guy, but I meant exactly what I said.

It flies because Putin threatens it before every flight.

Yeah you’d have to use asbestos cloth and even then you’re eating your leg later. A turbo will make 1/2" thick cast iron glow so red hot it’s fucking transparent. Imagine what that does to what’s for all intents and purposes uncooked bacon.

Considering how many times I’ve seen rods go through blocks on overstressed turbo 4-bangers, yeah, I know what ya mean.

I’m not really getting the parade of schadenfreude on Tiger Woods. He revitalized an entire sport after it had languished for years. Golf owes a lot to him, regardless of the negatives surrounding the dude.

I love how appropriately Dutch it is in its hideousness.

That’s just mind blowing that at a time when Beetle engines were only putting out 30-50hp this thing spun out 170hp from 1600cc in the same era.

In all fairness, you’re usually that guy.

That was such a horrific era starting in about 1983 when every American manufacturer simultaneously abandoned rear wheel drive and were touting those wheel-tugging, tire-balding, torque-steering FWD setups as a positive feature.

Dude!

Fingers crossed for a reborn Cimarron too

Found the pessimistic hater

Nice! Nice! Nice! Nice!

So this was during a test drive.

This is the only right answer.

I’m about as diehard as a car guy gets, but I love the idea of these things. They’re f’ing lifesavers.

So he was the Stig that time, just like I said. The post I was responding to literally had just mentioned the “guest Stig” spots that happened on occasion. Not sure how much clearer that could have been.

I’m pretty interested what weird engineering required the Chiron’s 16 cylinders to exhaust into 4 turbochargers and somehow end up with 2 pipes going to 1 muffler that has 6 exits.
