The W124 (technically S124) was the best looking Mercedes wagon. You can disagree all you want, but you’re wrong.

Great post, Karen! Don’t forget, you’re also cooler than your son.

Just after I finished high school I had an ‘88 Daytona that my dad and I swapped an automatic Turbo-I out for a Shelby Z Turbo-II engine with the 555 manual transmission. I daily drove it for three or four years and it was the perfect car to learn to wrench on since everything was so accessible. We also found an old…

I’d love a Hellcat Pacifica.

“Cool dad buys Mazda CX-5"

Bro code Bro! Some of these asshats try to completely disable the traction control, stability control and ABS if they can by pulling fuses.

The torque was very close and the 5.9L had torque over a wider range, which would make it more useful for towing and such.

I should have stated that I have no clue how BMW’s model number scheme relates to engines at all anymore. I mean it is the same with Mercedes too.

The Chrysler 318 is really a good engine. A good many of them have served on irrigation wells to drive pumps on LP Gas or Natural Gas. One might even say they’re “Skookum as frig.”

I agree wholehartedly. I had a GT. I feel like it would be a total Jalop car if it wasnt as ugly, and have that NA.

Wasn’t it the same block as the Neon engine? I thought that was a decent motor...

That car was never competing with the GTI.

I really want to buy an 850i, take it on exactly one road trip, and immediately sell it.

I remember seeing a video review (Motortrend? Car & Track? I can’t remember) that concluded the turbo engine had the minimum power the base model car should have had to be tolerable.

Have you driven one? The PT Cruiser Turbo is miles beyond that shitty NA motor.

I counter that with my ‘95 grand cherokee had the 4.0 as a base engine, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with the 5.2l (318 C.I.) engine under the hood. Chrysler as been making the LA series engines since the mid 60s. Not to take anything away from the 4.0 either though, I have one of them too.

Looking at the closeup of the 2017 WRX instrument panel at Subaru’s website, he’s holding 80-100 MPH most of the time he’s on that road. He set out to test himself and came up wanting.

Why is there an endless supply of people posting themselves doing something that should bring them nothing but humiliation and shame?

This is some bro-tastic stupidity. Not only does he completely screw up, but he shares it with the world on YouTube hoping for what? Sympathy? All I saw was a guy wringing out his STi with no respect for the double yellow line while driving twice the speed limit. He took an uphill corner way too hot and lifted off the…
