you should say hopped up econobox one more time to get your opinion across...

Ive always liked that car. Nissan and Infiniti were on a roll with the 350z, G35, FX35. Now all of their cars are in need of updates and look bloated.

These are both limited-production, specialty versions of well-regarded cars. How on earth are these “boring” in any way?

And this is how I work on the restoration for the first 2-3 years. Quite fun uring -30, -40C winters.

Seems like a good place to put that.

Disgusting old coach house in a questionable neighborhood. Wrenching in the city is a challenge.

I’m amazed at how many Japanese even bother owning cars

That dealership experience sounds so much more in line with what it should be. I can’t understand how I’m going to get treated like a king when buying a thousand dollar dinner/gun/vacuum cleaner, but when I go to buy a $40,000 something I get treated like an animal.

Here in Maryland no autoparts store that I’ve found will take used oil filters, so I’ve been putting them in the trash. Oil/ATF/brake fluid, no problem. Last time I dropped off used oil at Autozone I saw a 55 gallon drum labeled “Used Oil Filters Only” next to the oil dropoff. I asked the staff on the way out if they…

The thing I have trouble with is WHERE to recycle used oil and filters. Some auto parts stores take it, some don’t. Some take just the oil and not the filter. There is no centralized easy process, nor is there a place I’ve found that even tells me where I can go. It’s really backwards if they want people to actually…

i think the most interesting thing bout oil filters is that they look just like veedubya steelies

That is clever

When I had my old Forester XT, I wanted to get LEZSLD. It was a no go.

Doesn’t the new Accord already have the Type R engine as an option. just detuned a bit?

Oh fuck off. You get in someone else’s supercar, you hit the gas, the tires aren’t “performing at the level they should be”? If you decide to double the speed limit on a public street in a vehicle that you are not personally 100% certain of, it’s on you, bro.

The car was going between 85 and 93 miles per hour on a 45mph public road, on badly degraded old tires. I don’t see how this is anyone’s fault but the driver. Really wish Porsche hadn’t settled at all.

The only true way to measure horsepower accurately is by putting your car in a tug-of-war against a team of actual horses, and counting how many horses it takes to break even.
