Considering how expensive the Speed6 was new, i suspect there isn’t much meat on the bone for an AWD Speed3. Focus RS territory would be great, but from a small manufacturer with no big brother anymore, I think this is just a pipe dream :(

Missed opportunity to unveil on July 4th...

I have a Juke at my shop right now. Customer says dealer quoted 13,000$(! THAT WAS NOT AN ADDED ZERO). Opened the air cleaner and found the impeller nut for the turbo sitting in the bottom of the air box. Needs a turbo, sure, dealer quoted turbo and engine for whatever reason. This car is a 2016 with 36k miles! Out of

Good luck with that heater core replacement that is *just* around the corner.

I LOVE these. Word of caution though, if the EGR valve goes out, they aren’t made anymore (or at least I couldn’t get one about 4 years ago for a customer) but those engines are quite stout, if a bit noisy at times.

This is just a nicer Accord Crosstour, and I friggen love them. The price is a little high, and it’s a bit fugly, but its practical and reliable. Sign me up!

These are great DDs. That V6 is full on Ford Fusion status, so parts are plentiful and reasonable. Plus, IT’S A WAGON! What’s not to love!

You mentioned Harley and the word “lightning” in the headline and my heart skipped a beat. RIP my X1 lightning :(

If lifted improperly, without the “long arms”, these things ride terrible. I have had a bunch in my shop that were “lifted”, just leave the XJs be, they are great stock! 

100% T bird.

I mean, I like it, but I don’t care if it was hand built over 80 years by Queen Elizabeth using nothing but a T-Rex femur and molten lava to heat things, this car is only worth that kind of scratch to the guy that bought it and Bugatti.

After spending many hours elbows deep in Quad-4s and Twin Cams, I can say without a doubt they GM shoulda scrapped the whole idea and jammed V8s in everything, because the SBC is about all they are TRULY good at making.

These cars are awful. 

Clicked the link knowing full well that it would end up being standard fair old person racist chain emails, was not disappointed in the least. It’s really incredible that these people think that the internet stopped moving forward in 2002, before google was widely used to debunk all of this shite.

I did a timing chain job on an NA clubman (N16 I think?) It was absolutely terrible. They don’t have a timing cover. PERIOD. The timing cover is cast into the bock and head. It’s like going to a dentist for a prostate exam.

Super fun to drive, cute and funky I guess, but the interior ergonomics ignite a rage deep inside me that I just can’t seem to get over. The interior just doesn’t make sense to me.

There’s a lot of things I like here, the BMW interior is not one of them. The BMW shifter made me cringe.

Mania legit blew my mind. It’s quite good.

If I wanted to drive a tractor, there’s a John Deere in the shed...

As did Mitsubishi!
