Yes, and it makes 500 lb-ft of torque while getting 70 MPG on unfiltered veggie oil

That last one is the Kardashian edition.

Best COTD picture ever.

Massachusetts only does rigorous emissions-testing on cars with OBD-II. Anything that is not OBD-II just has to pass a visual smoke check.

Try to throw in some racist slurs, too. That’s how it’s done.

You do realize that the current Miata weighs basically the same as an NA?

“For an asking price in the mid-$30k range, the only way you’d get a better deal on automotive performance is if you pilfered through Christian Von Koenigsegg’s trash.”

Ahhh still in the greys on TurckYeah...

I mean, isn’t that what any of us would do?

Yes, but mainstream cars were never really intended for enthusiasts to drive. What did we have before that? SUVs and midsize sedans. Not enthusiast choices. And before that? Minivans and sedans. Before that? Wagons and sedans, most of which were no less “boring” at the time than the Camry is now.

It’s a wonderful time to be a car enthusiast...

I think we heard a lot of that in the eighties, but I think we’re in a pretty bright period right now. There are so many nice, affordable, GOOD sports cars, like the WRX, Miata, FRS/BRZ, Focus/Fiesta ST, Porsche Cayman, Mustang, Corvette...
