I had an Alfa with a Busso 6 ('92 164-S). It skipped a timing belt tooth when a friend borrowed it and parked it on a hill without using the parking brake. I fixed it. I drove it over 300k miles in the time I owned it, and I would absolutely have another one in a heartbeat. The Timing belt flaw is real... But the rest…

its funny, I can still find no hard proof that this is the case, but: I believe it has to do with advertising regulations. This seems to be the reason the FiST has “more power” in the USA too (look at the engine specs carefully. The US spec FieSTa lists a peak and an overboost figure, guess what? the peak figure is…

Yes. But now I just want a 400HP AWD Fusion ST...

Where’s my damn 690 Adventure?

yep, those vintage Tercells with a stick were quite entertaining little cars. spent a bunch of time behind the wheel of an ex’s ‘86. not powerful, but super light, not sticky but super manageable at the edge, not luxurious, but immaculately assembled. just good little cars, they were but deadly slow with the auto.

rather than the slowloster, i would get an Elantra GT with the panoramic sunroof which still isnt as good to drive as my 2011 Elantra Touring was... or my FieSTa is..

People often forget (or never knew) that Hyundai is at the absolute fore-font of providing for the do-it-your-selfer. Did you know that by visitinghttp://www.hyundaitechinfo.com and verifying your ownership of a Hyundai vehicle you can have access to the following:

Because you DESERVE this.

nope. Not good at all.

except, its not.

2nd Gear: Now’s NOT A Good Time To Buy A GTI Though

1st gear: So this is recall worthy now? I just drove my ‘97 LeSabre around on dirt roads untill all the oil leaks were sufficiently caked with dust to self-seal. That 300K mile 3800 didn’t burn a drop of oil, and it was only marginally dirty at changes, but it leaked about a quart a month. When I started to smell…

some say he is the third-generation clone of the product of a semi-failed Nazi scheme to genetically cross Bernd Rosemeyer and Erwin Rommel for the glory of the Father Land, but all we know is he's called The Stig...

Not being a giant NSX fanboy (don’t get me wrong, its probably Honda’s best work, I’m just not a slobbery fanboy over it...) I was almost OK with this... I mean, it looks pretty clean, the panel gap is... not horrible... it’s probably genuinely pretty fast and fun to drive (unless they really screwed up the weight…

someone once told me a ridiculous, but believable thing: Half of all Volvo station wagons sold in the US are sold in Vermont. Ridiculous.... But believable...

Oh, absolutely. I was mostly just refuting SasquatchElvis's statement.

We would also accept an older XC70 or V70 with half a million miles, or in Shelburne; a 335D-Touring-Xdrive.

Yes. (cue dissenters in 3, 2,...)

Actually, as Vermonter, I can say that Bernie can kind of be a bit of a jerk, what he IS is full of good ideas.
