BMW S70/2. Won Le Mans (you know that story)...

2012 Volvo V60 D5 (2.4 diesel inline 5). 50.000km. Apparently, something went wrong with lubrication :/ (whole engine changed for free with warranty)

Defeating Isis will take more than special forces.

Ok, then let’s start with short hops, ok ? If US was able to switch to HSTs for the two coastal zones (SD/LA/SF and NY/DC), let’s count how many megatons of CO2 would be saved.

If we are ever to achieve a day in this sport where women compete on equal terms with men, then it follows that the barometer we use to judge success must also be equal.

These customers just don’t mind this kind of gap. Usually, there’s at least $50.000 in optionnal equipment, such as leather-covered air-vents...

Please someone, make a “Nope, nope” gif. Please...

The GTR-LM, whose 2015 record is quite laughable, remains a potent concept. At Le Mans, it suffered from the lack of development of its hybrid system, so it had to run as a thermic-only, with two major drawbacks :

“Le Mans” made a huge flop, while it obviously doesn’t appear in this list. Think about it for a moment.

In French, FIAT means “Ferraille Italienne Assemblée à Turin” which can be translated into : Italian rusty tin poorly put together in Torino...

A friend of mine who changes his car very often, DeMuro-like, usually creates fake cheaper listings in the same area when he’s buying, and more expensive listings when he’s selling. Same kind of car, same engine, slightly varying mileage, etc... And he manages to change VERY often, believe me...

BMW N47 and N57 diesel engines (4 and 6 cylinders). BMW, so proud of its timing chain design, put the timing chain on the cockpit side of the engine. And there’s a major design flaw on the chain tensioning device. Which causes head and valves disasters (due to the diesel compression ratios), usually around 50-80.000…

The key point being “they aren’t idiots”.

Doing every step of the list usually enables you to ask for a MSRP worth profits.

Peugeot’s 2015 308 GTI sports 270hp out of its turbocharged 1.6 four pot. For a retail car. This is pretty much the definition of a hot hatch.

To me, this crappy Renault 9 (the french downtrimmed Alliance, with a mesmerizing 60hp...) used to be the most perfect car in the entire universe. Just because it was my first car. Ever.

Arguments ? Just don’t bother...

Split in two just in the middle of the huge gas tank.

Ok, so there are Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bugattis, Fords, Bimmers, Mercs and so on..... it’s a long line.
