You still need the Subaru WRX donor, various other parts and a shit load of elbow grease. The moment you have to pay someone else to help, my argument actually has some validity.

First of all, the price of a used first generation Mazda Miata has bottomed out. Want to spend $2000? You'll be buying a used miata that looks used. Want one that's clean, rust-free, well sorted and turnkey reliable? They're four to five grand. Kelley's Blue Book can go fuck itself - that's the asking price. If

The Miata platform was designed without a roof. It has a very strong frame. Most people add a frame rail brace. The roll bar does a lot to help with torsional rigidity. I own a modded Miata. This looks like a proper setup, but I would ask about bracing, suspension and motor mount location.

The price may be a bit on the high side, but it's justifiable. A conversion like this with zero miles starts around $42,000 according to Flyin Miata (not including the car). The car has a Hard Dog roll bar. I have a similar model in my car. That unit goes a long way toward torsional rigidity, but your concerns are

I'm going with Nice Price. Yes, for $36,000, you can build one for less. I own a modded Miata and seriously considered going with LSx upgrade. I chose the turbo to preserve the "Miataness" of the car, but the LSx conversions are great handling cars, too.

The wankel is incredibly simple. Nothing like the Chrysler's Turbo Encabulator.

Cadillac Escalade EXT — Only driven by assholes

Hey, if he's got the scratch to make it happen, this is America and he can do whatever the hell he wants with his money. The rest of us can cluck, shake our heads and agree that this monstrosity is a gross misallocation of disposable income.

The WBC are 1st amendment trolls. It's as simple as that. If a city tries to block them, they sue... and win. Despicable, hateful speech is annoying to good and decent people. Shirley Phelps says Paul Walker deserved to die in a car crash. I say Shirley Phelps deserves to die slowly being crushed by a

Boris the Blade has nothing to worry about. Apparently you just can't kill that bastard.

I love the idea. I love innovation. I think it's fantastic. Order what you want and have it delivered in a half hour. Unless you want delivery in a city hi rise. Or an area with inclement weather. Or strong winds. Chicagoans are screwed.

Cadillacs and Chevrolets were built on the same line together by the same people. There is a reason they're sold in separate dealerships. There is such a thing as a "dealer experience". VW should have known better, considering the fact that they own Audi. Everyone knows why Toyota, Nissan and Honda opened new

It was a fine car, no doubt. VW amazingly forgot there is such a thing as a dealer experience. The Japanese are accustomed to buying luxurious sedans on the same lot where they sell the Yaris, Carolla and Micra. Americans are not, which is why Toyota, Nissan and Honda created Lexus, Infiniti and Acura,

Ferrari operates on a completely different business model when it comes to the cars they build for homologation. The story I heard and have no reason not to believe follows thusly.

When I fly, I almost always want to be left alone. That's why I wear headphones even when I'm not listening to music. I rarely make small talk with my seat mates unless we clearly have something in common or they've brought some cool personal tech that catches my eye and don't seem to mind chatting about it. I only

Anyone who says race car Aston has obviously not seen James May suffer in Switzerland. Sexy Aston road car for me, please.

The Porsche 911 was introduced in 1963; The 9-1-1 emergency hotline in 1968. For getting someone somewhere quickly, Ma Bell chose wisely.

Don't even think of comparing the Challenger to the Camaro. Forget the rivalries between car owners and their brands of choice. The Camaro has a better engine, better suspension and better price point than the Challenger. The Challenger also handles with all the grace of a greased pig. The new Camaro has its
