So...new VW Thing?

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.

Solaris 7, here we come!

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.

Stupid comment is stupid. The M14 is a fully-automatic 7.62 x 51mm NATO rifle. It fires a much higher-power round than the M4/M16. Thousands were also put back into service during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as it was found, thanks to its more powerful round, to be more effective past 300 yards than the M16.

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.

And then there's Harry Dresden's old car.

Dieselpunk. Think Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
