I am in Taiwan, and during the typhoon I had to do a 2.5 hour drive from central Taiwan to southern Taiwan. I can actually feel my car tilting to the wind.

It would have blown right by him if he would have done the superman.

That is a scooter, not a moped.

As a long time Florida resident, I know enough to stay in when the wind is moving that fast. But I’ve seen a few fun things from winds around here. One of the funniest things I’ve seen in my life was a close friend as we were coming back from doing some fishing. He dropped me off at another spot where I had joined him

This is why you should never lift mid-typhoon..

I needed to get parts for the house and then it hit me

Takata deserves a corporate death penalty for what they did. VW doesn’t deserve to go away, but they gained a competitive advantage by willfully cheating the system, so they deserve to be penalized heavily.

You don’t care about the consequences of an action unless someone literally DIES?

The only risk there is the car gets in a wreck or something, and the insurance company remiburses you the KBB value of the car today not the value that VW is offering for the buyback, which is pre-Diesel Gate. That is one of the reasons we are selling our TDi Jetta back when they start writing checks.

My wife’s Passat is a TDI, and it has an outstanding Takata airbag recall (no parts available yet). She still wants to keep it.

That would certainly confuse three of the first four guys who steal and strip your car.

My daily-driven, V6, supercharged, tuned, straight-piped 93 MR2. Freaking love this car.

The gen2 series continued in Japan after sales stopped in America. A rear swap that includes the rear subframe and lower control arms corrects the scary geometry.

I’d really love a TC’d or SC’d 1st gen. But, I do love the aero options for the 2nd gen. Both are beautiful cars. The 3rd gen, though...ergh...

But the first was so 80's cool. Way ahead of its class. It did quickly out-date itself, but so did the 80's.

Protip: RHD variants are starting to become legal for import under the 25 year rule.

I want one. But the right one hasn’t shown up yet. You, jalopnik posted one last year near me that looked great, but I found it back on Craigslist recently. It was all lies.

At least 4 shades of black, I got it in trade for a car that was worth about half a candy bar...

That was rule number one when I started selling cars.

Let’s add “If the bullshit new car dealers said were actually true”
