For 10 years I drove a '66 Nova with a bent frame, bad shocks, a cooling fan installed backwards, a transmission held together by rust, a muffler duct-taped to the bumper, a sagging headliner, torn seats, headlights that turned off with every bump, and mushrooms growing in the back carpet. So, you know... grow up.

Akira's bike was more based on the Bimota Tesi, the 2WD bike with the cantilevered front fork.

Swollen lug nuts? A little talcum powder should take care of that.

Needs a blower...

I can no longer look at these cars without picturing...

You can throw a supercharger on ANY normally-aspirated engine and make it better. Superchargers have been around almost as long as cars themselves. There are problems of course: less MPG, more stress on the internals, somewhat unpredictable handling under boost. I love that we live in a world where 200 crank hp just

She's a keeper.

This is especially tragic when you realize that, if left alone, lobsters are essentially immortal.

Aha, the ol' Popcorn Trick. A true classic.

I believe once the Subaru BRZ finally goes OOP they will be collector's items. Toyota will likely replace the boxer engine in the current GT86 with a BMW sourced inline-4 turbo, making the BRZ a gem. Considering you can currently buy a new 2014 BRZ for under dealer invoice, it's once of those "Jeeze, why didn't I pick

Gotta love those crumple zones.

Aye, I give it-a five spicy meat-a balls-a.

The best thing Cosworth could do for the Toybaru86 would be to beef up the engine's bottom end; bearings, cranks, pistons, rings, etc. Those have proven to be the weak link when it comes to pushing these relatively new engines past their stock hp. After that, any gains you get from intake, exhaust or boost would be on

'cause Flour-da!

There's a slant-nose Porsche 930 in there, somewhere.

As the owner of a '96 GS-R, I can tell you these cars are all about the engines. My B18C1, and the Type-R's B18C5, are some of the most sought-after (and stolen) pumpers around. Easy to work on, light, small and exploitable. Quite a few Integra owners have swapped in the RSX's K20A for a few extra horses, but the

Go for the plaid seats in the S and it's only the sunroof you're missing out on. It sucks, but the plaid rules. And someone help me out in complaining to VW on why the sunroof isn't a standalone option.

What ever happened to the actual 190E that Senna drove? I assume it's in a museum somewhere.
