Why doesn't BMW just offer one car, but you come in and a tailor measures you, touches your balls, makes some chalk marks on the car, then you pick it up a week later? That's not much different from the current carbuying experience, except for the measuring and chalk part.

Hardly. Hoses, belts, seals, and anything else made of rubber is worn out and needs to be replaced. But it should be a relatively simple task to recondition the motor and get it into running condition again. Hell of a lot easier than rebuilding a motor that’s been sitting out rusting for 40 years. This ones basically…

an engine at redline under zero load will likely use less fuel than an engine at 100% load down near idle. my car requires less than 10% fuel load to sit at redline in neutral, but would need far more at full load at idle.

The one the dealer puts on when you buy your new car/truck.

Is always the answer, right?

It’s pretty comfy, but very ugly.

I will never complain once about the new Prius. It’s bonkers that I can look in my rear view mirror and see a piece of origami following me. It’s a risky design and I like cars that are divisive, ugly or not.

The running joke in the Maxima community was that “the car is an M5...M, and 5 other letters.”

I’m hoping they make this race a 12-hour one, since they don’t race at Sebring.

However much this Zonda has.

That car can only remind me of Mondays. Here is the true car of fridays.

Eh, you’re Lamborghini example isn’t that bad, they’re round tips of the correct number and pretty much end where they’re supposed to. Unlike, say, everybody else...

It’s almost like you would need a dedicated company who only inspected cars and didn’t repair them..........

Torch, you’re the only Jalopnik writer who actually utilizes the nurple system. Because of this I’m having a lot of trouble visualizing the torque specs on non-Torchinsky articles. How do I know how many nurples the new Audi TT RS makes? My roommates seem to be unwilling to let me replicate your initial experiment on…

It took 40 years for the Corvette to sell a million. I’d say that 2+2s, while still a niche, are a much bigger niche than 2-seat roadsters, or 2-seat sports cars.

But the exocet is street legal. You can drive it to the track, race it, and then drive it home.

This is really great. My wife has a turbo Miata, the engines were made for boost (literally, it’s the 323 GTX engine). Hers has 70K+ turbo miles on it, with about a conservative 8,000 of those on tracks doing HPDE events since 2000. Removing 800 lbs can only make things better.

1400 HP and still rocking shitty all seasons. Would be perfectly at home at many a Cars and Coffee.
