I think 'transversely' is the word you are looking for. I agree, not the opposite of longitudinally, but English is a bitch.

Wouldn't surprise me if the agreement made the trademark cancellation "free" for legal and marketing reasons, but the domain names being transferred took a cash settlement.

You missed the most extreme 924, the GTR. It is factory, though not road-legal, but I'm not sure what you intended the rules to be.

Cruise control. Pretty standard these days, but a lot of compacts and pickups still have trim levels that don't include it. I always go for the lowest trim level that has cruise.

For sitting

An automatic Supra Turbo? Ugh.... how much for a tranny swap?

Europe is a local market for VW, so that's not really a fair comparison. The US is the largest non-local market that the two companies share, and VW is getting stomped.

They are cars for teenage gearheads, not just any teenager. The 944 IS easy to work on, though I don't really agree with them being reliable. Parts are still plentiful and, while more than common cars, not crazy expensive. I would say the 944 would be a good car for the most gearheaded of teenagers.

This article is about interceptors, which are not for killing people, they are for saving them.

What would all those 0-60 times be with modern rubber? These cars were so traction limited it's hard to get a feel for just how fast they were.

It hasn't been that way since the 70's. Everyone uses net SAE horsepower now, which is taken at the crank with all accessories and factory exhaust.

I didn't expect to be so conflicted over a 911 at this price. I went NP, but just barely.

When you figure it out let me know what to call my Kia Rondo.

The engine does sound like a nightmare waiting to happen, but the AWD is really just two separate drivetrains for the front and rear. Electric motors tend to be quite reliable, so it may just be the super/turbo engine that will be bad.

All of those are Doug, and he is weird, so I'll give them that.

He actually says to never return a bad survey, just to suggest to the salesperson that a better deal will result in a perfect one.

Are you suggesting that Gawker just happens to post several clips from every Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon because they are funny?

The Porsche 924 chassis was developed by Porsche for VW to be a fun and economical sporty car for the VW brand. VW decided to not go forward with the car after development was complete, so Porsche bought back the rights for the car. Rather than developing an engine or buying a more suitable one from another company,…

Just saw one of these this weekend road-tripping on I-77 in Virginia. I was more than a little jealous.

Try to wrap your head around the idea that not everyone falls into the tropes associated with their generation. They are remodeling my office right now and I have been listening to 50 year olds tell me how they need to tear down offices and replace them with cubicles or they won't be able to hire young professionals…
