... So you live in Huntsville...

The reliability of these cars is absolutely shocking.

It would seem that my 1999.5 Jetta with the SOHC 2.0 is uber reliable only because it is so miserable to drive for more than 10 minutes, it only chooses to live to spite me.

Somewhere, I just imagine a team of Chemical Engineers bathing in an oil tanker ship filled with cash.

I could tell that in video #3 that the guy, from his appearance to his behavior, had to be military and suffering some kind of PTSD before ever reading the back history. That doesn't excuse his behavior, but I think it reflects how little our country is paying attention to mental health. Maybe the guy's mental state…

"Good tires", Bob mused, casually lighting a cigarette, "But certainly not great tires"

Holy shit, people taking their helmets off on a hot race track. This is like a chain event of everything you're not supposed to do at a track day.

I appreciate the restraint shown by not going off on a creepy tangent when RCR used the word 'Tranny'. The ball field scene was a little dark though, haha.

Thanks for the compliment!

As an aviation enthusiast, current generation Russian SAMs sounds absolutely terrifying. It would seem that Russia can develop this technology exponentially faster than it takes to develop another weapon system to counter it. If I was an F-15, F-16, or Ukraine Mig pilot, I would be feeling pretty nervous at the moment…

This is probably my favorite year Mustang. I especially like the notch backs because it keeps the looks simple. I would drive a six cylinder any day of the week (as long as I paid a fair price for it) but my ideal ride would be with a 390 and a four speed, notch back, hub caps, basic interior, and in Meadowlark Yellow.

Toyota should take the Prius, slap a Scion badge on it, commission Yamaha to make an extremely over square/rev happy sub 2 liter turbocharged four cylinder with 300 hp, give it adequate suspension and brakes, use the electric motor to fill in the torque deficit below 6k rpm and herald it as the poster child of their…

So does this confirm the return of L88s to the next Bloomington Gold event?

I honestly think that's a fair statement. I'm not an expert in the hot rod community, but we've gone from streetable low 12 second LS1 cars in the early 00's to pretty much any junkyard Gen III or newer long block to making 600+ horsepower with just about any combination of accessible parts you can think of. What…

.... Que 'Idiot Wind'...

Just for the fun of it... I have 300,000+ miles on my 1999.5 Jetta. Most of it highway cruising at 3500-4000 rpms because of the close ration gear box.

I've been saying this since I was in fourth grade. The Rogue Squadron books were amazing and what prompted me to actually get into reading.

I don't know. The symptoms are pretty obvious for the V6s when the car first tries to crank, as it has a nasty stumble/cough right as it's about to turn over, sometimes spitting out carbon. You will know it when you hear it. It can also cause the engine to run poorly on 87 octane, my guess is because you have a…

Not really all that butt hurt about it. I used the web site a lot when I was a teenager in high school. Glad someone made a ton of money off of it.

It would be financed by a last chance 'buy here; pay here' used car lot and be a stick shift that won't go into second gear first thing in the morning when the transmission's gear oil is still cold.
