Yup. I got a 95 GTI occupying my driveway right now. I'd have to find and transplant an entire wiring harness into it, and that's just the tip of that particular iceberg. Shame though, the VR6 sounded awesome up until the last time it ran.

Magnets, yo.

I'd say tackle the Alaskan Highway in early Spring, when everything's still slushy. Do it in late-model sedans that were never designed, built or sold in the USA/Canada. Take on the toughest highway in North America in passenger cars never intended to be driven there. 3000 pounds for the car/mods/supplies, 3 days to…

Never does. So, 22% of TVs that were on yesterday were tuned to the race? How do they figure? Unless you can tell me that every last set in the country has a monitoring system reporting viewing habits, the ratings are bullshit.

We need someone to sell a light duty truck here. The Colorado/Frontier is about as small as they get, and they're the size of an F150 from ten years ago. Used market for Rangers, S-10s and the like is ridiculous these days... I'm not really wanting to pay $5000 for a twenty year old Ranger with 250k+ miles on it.

I wish my wages had been flat. My wages/benefits are about 1/3 of what they were 6 years ago, and I didn't make great money to begin with. At this point, $60 is a week's worth of groceries or gas, and that's where it has to go.

The mkII 1.8 was damn near bulletproof. I owned one in the early 2000's, excellent little car. You could turbocharge it with nothing but junkyard parts (some Saab bits and a Volvo turbo, if I remember right) on stock internals. Granted, the amount of boost isn't as high as the one in the vid, but still... bolt-on…

I'm hoping tech goes that way, it would be awesome to turn a complex problem like my VW into a matter of some coding and time on a 3D printer. Too many great cars out there that are just a massive headache to fix with all the electronic/computer controlled this and that. 

Um, where did the voting go? Or is graverobber having to do a bunch of math based on the comments to determine the result? 

The tech in the cars will be the problem. The 1970 Impala I mentioned in my post has been sitting for a few years, but last weekend we fired her up for a spin around the block just to dust her off and she cranked right up and ran like a champ. If it did need anything I could find it easily through Summit or another…

I've been drooling over my wife's grandfather's 70 Impala Custom Coupe for years now. He hasn't driven it in ages, it sits under the carport looking sexy as a bag of tits. No rust, no dents, all original down to the near-pristine paint and vinyl top. Restoration would involve a wash/wax and vacuuming the interior.…

IMO, the early 70's 911 was as likely to leave you wrapped around a tree as the American muscle... if you don't know how to drive the car. The old 911's were notoriously unpredictable for someone that didn't know how to handle it.

And not a shit was given that day. Or any day, for that matter.

For real real, not for play play?

Naw, you're thinking "Ride of the Bumblebee", which is that music that plays in Apocalypse Now right before Stallone sneaks onto the island to rescue his daughter from 80's Alan Rickman on Christmas Eve.

Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition on PC. Runs beautifully... until you touch the mouse. Then it lags like a mofo. Googled "Witcher 2 PC, mouse lag" and got pages of forum posts about it... seems to be a bug that affects "some but not all" users.

Have they bothered to add hardware acceleration for the mouse? Tried it awhile back... looked like I'd dig it immensely, but the mouse lag killed it to the point I couldn't even get past the intro area.

Not sure if trolling or just an idiot. You're on an automotive site that stays in business by reporting car news, and you're upset that they reported car news? You wanted Jalopnik to sit on this til the 19th so you can "nerd out" in person? Poor you.

Eh, PARTS of the city are destructible... lampposts fall over, cars get kicked around, but we have no real effect on the buildings, which is a shame. Makes my complaints about the trees in MechWarrior Online more valid... the immersion there would go way up if you were mowing down the forest as you went.

Hawken is to MechWarrior Online as Cod is to Counter-Strike... the pacing is different in each, and the fundmental structure of battles is different. I think it comes down to the respawn. Hawken is totally nuts most of the time— a frenzy of bullets and explosions and BAM, you blow up and respawn in seconds. MWO has a…
