That door opening looks like it is about 12" wide at best. I could probably get in by standing up and dropping into the seat, but no idea how I’d get my fat ass out.

“Most reliable” and “lost the engine” don’t usually go together. My friend’s RX-8 also blew the engine, and he didn’t abuse it. I’ve got nothing against Mazdas (loved my MS6), but that doesn’t sound like that great of reliability.

I love pickles, but I hate pickles on burgers. When you’re eating a burger, all of the flavors blend together for the perfect greasy burger flavor... until you hit the pickle. Then your taste buds say, “that was a pickle.” The flavor doesn’t work with everything else, and I don’t get why people love it so much.

Same. In college I had a small 10' truck reserved to move home, but as the entire town moves out at the same time, they only had a 26' left. I had fun driving it... My mom was less thrilled following me. When empty - “You went way too fast around that corner! I’ve never seen a moving truck lean that far over, I…

If I’m reading it correctly, she claimed to be 8, the bone density test said she was 14, and the Barnett’s had it “corrected” to 22 so they could put her in an adult treatment program. So they’re being charged for abandoning a 14 year old.

Absolutely, I’d be switching out the trans as soon as possible. But then again, the demographic that goes for Cobras is getting up there in years. I’ve known several car enthusiasts that got to the point where their bad knees/hips couldn’t work a clutch any more.

I have to laugh at all of the “wrong engine” and “cutting the top off ruined it” comments. It’s a kit car, people! One of the best things about a kit car is you can mess with it and know you’re not hurting the value of an original. My biggest complaint about most Cobras is everyone tries to make it look original, when…

That wheelbase to ground clearance ratio looks like it is in for a lot of high centering.

I use the “Drink Buddy” in my Vette. An upper lip wedges under the center console and the bottom of it grips to the floor. Very deep, doesn’t budge, and works great, but it takes some leg room from the passenger.

4 externally mounted 12" subs in carbon fiber boxes, amp under a lexan window. This is how you make a comeback, Mitsubishi! Long live the ‘90's.

It needs an electric cutout, so you can send the exhaust through a good muffler on the other side (and it just looks like dual exhaust from the back). Flip the switch when you want to play around, cut it back off when it gets tiring a few minutes later.

This whole conversation is making my eye twitch while the made up word “trickeration” repeats in my brain.

Exactly! Listening to someone dig in a popcorn bucket during the movie is like nails on a chalkboard.

I’ve also lived around the DMV for the last 20-ish years. I’m up close to Haprers Ferry now, so I get the added “excitement” of crossing into WV regularly. It’s amazing how quickly the demographic changes to everything you stereo-typically think of as WV. Though I also can cross into Pennsylvania in about 20 minutes,…

I’m surprised they haven’t installed speed bumps all over Mulholland. There are so many stories of accidents from people playing around on it, at some point the local government will decide it’s too costly to keep doing these rescues.

As an owner of a ‘72, I can tell you that C3's don’t handle well, don’t stop well, are slow, are not very comfortable, their radio sucks, their AC sucks (and I have VintageAir, and it still sucks), they get terrible gas mileage, they’re crazy heavy for how small they are (my small block manual is listed around 3600 lbs…

I agree, but in his mind if it was sitting there, eventually he’d get better and be able to drive again. If we sold it, there would be no chance.

Late 90's, I was out with a friend grabbing dinner. In the shopping center parking lot, I was behind a semi that was evidently lost, because that road doesn’t allow semis. He made a right-hand turn that was too tight for his turning radius. His back wheels hit the trunk of a parked Accord, pushed it over a curb until…

The last year my grandpa was allowed to drive, he kept getting in accidents that “weren’t his fault” because he was getting rear-ended. He’d be driving down the road, see a store, suddenly remember he wanted something from it, and jam on his brakes regardless of which lane he was in or if he had passed the turn. It…

I don’t speak German, so I assume the guy in the BS6 video is describing the Brilliance in the design that allows the roof and floor to move out of the way of the occupants during impact.
