I know I’m bucking the trend here, but I voted “NP”. Per Hemmings, 1970 Porsche 914-6s are averaging $69K asking prices right now, with a low of $39.5K and a high of $111,500. They’re rare as hen’s teeth and, unlike your typical 914-4, they’re actually considered collectible. One with matching numbers? Yeah, that…

Wrong. On a long roadtrip, the radio is a tool used to keep your munchkins calm. Enjoyment by the driver is secondary to this purpose.

Give me the KGC-005r: twin LB-20X (Because Shotguns) backed by a heavy PPC. :)

ComStar's KGC-001 "Clanbuster" King Crab packed twin gauss instead of autocannons, but packed a large pulse laser and Streak SRM-2s instead of the standard large laser, at the expense of an XL engine.

Makes you wonder how many Grand Cherokee drivers are going to get pulled over because of these.

And, by the same token, while cars made in 1975 and earlier are exempt from smog exams, technically they're required to maintain the original or CARB-approved smog equipment on the vehicle, including carburators, EGR valves, etc. It's also why catalytic converters for cars in California tend to be at least twice as…

I think you nailed it. When I test drove the BRZ and did a review of it back when I still was on the radio, I wanted to love the BRZ so badly. I just couldn't, though. I like it, don't get me wrong, but in the end it just wasn't quite there.

He's talking about this:

Wait a minute, the Roadster is still available? Where? Certainly it's not on Tesla's website.

The owner (pictured) is getting by just fine with a Type 1 engine, actually. OK, it's either a 2165cc or 2276cc, but it's still a Type 1 engine. ;)

Now I know what to do with the '73 Fastback I've been restoring.

Amateur. This is my friend's Baja Ghia:

I daily drive a '66 VW Beetle that I modified the crap out of for autocross: did a conversion from the old swing axle transmission to a late-model IRS transmission, which, in turn, had the crap modified out of it (changed the ring & pinion out, rough-cut gears for 3rd and 4th, two more spider gears, etc.), and a…

Much wide. Such whaletail.

Yes, I remember the Jeepster. It actually had ground clearance.

Dieselpunk. Think Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

When discussing cannons, like the Mark 7 on the Iowa class, "16-inch/50 caliber" indicates the bore of the cannon is 16 inches, while the gun is "50 calibers" long, or 50 times the size of its bore - in this case, 66 ft, 8 in.

Seen it done, actually, on a Fastback that got converted to a pickup: he put a Chevy 350, IIRC, in the back.

Toyota is having a big celebration of its hybrids right now in Michigan, a sign in the minds of some that they're worried the trend is towards EVs and plug-ins and yet they're still promoting hybrids and now hydrogen-powered cars.

Please no. I have a '73 Fastback up on jack stands in the garage right now, with my floor jack supporting the transmission, whilst I go over what eight years of non-running neglect did to the engine, and rip out the fuel injection system to switch over to ICTs. It's supposed to take over daily driver duties from my…
