I was almost onboard, ready to hit the NP button.. and then I got to the interior pic.. oh gawd

YOU. You are why I Jalopnik. Please don’t ever think no one reads your comments. I got home and thought... Hey, that’s an Aussie Ford. They are probably classics now. Then you confirmed it. That’s why Jalopnik can’t die. Even if I have to drive to NYC and rescue it myself.

I’m not a conservative. I can, and do, think for myself. I also don’t need any seeds so I have no dog in this fight. Since you seem to need it spelled out for you, there are entire websites dedicated to this type of political BS. This shouldn’t be one of them.

I’m a Renault fanboy (and french car enthusiast in general) so I had to go and search for pics of some of my favorite Renault 3 lug wheels:

I think at last count I had somewhere around 13 different car’s (and truck’s) parts on my 67 Dart. Some of those have even been removed and replaced by other parts that still aren’t for a Dart. I’ll see if I can’t make the list:

Many. Different types too. The car is a Peugeot. Engine from a Lancia. Intercooler from a BMW. And on and on.

Oh man, so many cars. My current E34 530it has a hood and passenger front door from one car, a nose panel from another car, each bumper is from a different car, a fender from another car, seats from another car, and I’m currently collecting a black interior for it from two separate cars in the junkyard. That being…

My E36 M3 racecar has parts from SO many other cars. Jeez. This is a fun thought process.

Technically zero? It’s downright near impossible to find a Sterling 827 SLi in a junkyard but thankfully early Acura Legends aren’t so rare. It has many other junkyard oddity parts as well, such as a 80s Pioneer head unit found in a Geo Tracker and a coolant expansion tank from a B5 VW Passat. So I suppose the total…

You’re not wrong, but Ken didn’t start racing until he was like 36, so he was never going to be on par with the Sebs. 

Cool car, talented driver. However; and I’m going to draw the ire of the collected kinja brain trust; as a WRC fan, I have to point out that Ken was often outdone by the competition in real-world racing. Hoonigan videos are entertaining, but are a heavily-edited amalgamation of clips of successful runs. Ken has always…

Meanwhile in Hong Kong, there’s a blogger posting about this amazing backyard full of cool rusted out 4x4s that he discovered in his January trip to Michigan.

So a Land Rover Discovery??? I thought Ford and Land Rover parted ways?

I have never done this ever, but if Toyota announces that they will bring this exact car (not a Corolla with a fake carbon fiber wing) to the US, I will drive to my local dealer and put an order/deposit down for one. I know they would probably only sell dozens of these nationwide, but all I really want is a street…

Well we clearly need to get rid of all the people.

You know, I enjoy the motorsport for what it is. But I really hate that they glamorize the wrecks in this. They show them in the previews. They highlight them in the marketing. The announcers even say “if you’re looking for big wrecks, you’re in the right spot.”

You’re not buying a mid 80s aircooled Porsche because you want a Boxster or a Cayman.
