I kind of like the term OEM plus. It means something that looks OEM (or is because its from Europe) but most people wouldn’t notice if they didn’t know the car. I took all the wood trim in my BMW and wrapped it in alcantara with dark grey stitching (kind of like the 1M). It looked OEM but you wouldn’t know it wasn't…

GTO owners made this term up years ago because the cars got soo cheap that high school kids were buying them and ruining them with cheap mods and plastidip.

One day after a long night of drinking in Slovenia, we realized we had no idea where we were or where our car was. It was about 8 am at this time and everyone but the driver was drunk (bars don’t close in Europe until everyone goes home). We had got there when it was dark, done a bunch of bar hopping, and drank our…

Like BMWs FWD campaign and now here they are selling FWD 1 series cars. Chrysler did something similar in the 80s-90s saying that FWD was more stable and better with their "cab forward" design. Now they sell RWD cars. The people will likely forget what was said 5 years ago on a 30 second commercial.

I find it weird that Fiat performance parts are Mopar. I know Fiat owns Mopar/Dodge but it doesn’t feel right buying Mopar parts for my Fiat. Cant they just call them Abath Performance Parts instead?

I had a guy in a Harley get mad at me because I passed him (he was doing 10 under the speed limit). I went around him and gave him plenty of room. He sped up, flipped me off, pulled in front of me and slammed on his brakes. I was in a Dodge Dakota R/T (5000-ish lbs), not a smart move. I couldn’t believe someone would…

Chevy SS sedan. Manual trans, 6.2L V8, Brembos, and magnetic ride control.

My uncle opened one of the first Daewoo Dealerships in America (first in California). Everyone that could bought one in the family. They were all piles of shit. My grandma had the highest end model they made (Loganzo?). It threw a rod right after the company went under and she scrapped the car. Though, Id use one as a…

For low speed stuff, Id say a full size Blazer or short bed chevy truck or Ford if that’s your thing. If something with a little more speed, probably a Toyota pickup. It should not be a truck you care about getting dents and scratches in.

A friend of mine made a heatshield with a little tray on it for his exhaust manifold on his DSM. He would throw a couple of steaks on it (wrapped in foil) on it before a canyon run. When we got to the top, we would have delicious steaks for lunch.

I had a 74 K5 4x4 blazer with the granny gear 4 speed in it. It was a tank. A slow, gas guzzling tank. It would climb anything in 4 low and 1st gear. Loved that thing. If I had a lot of money, id buy a 72 and resto-mod it for offroad duty.

Are you sure this is/was a real 911 at some point and not just a kit car with a 911 body on it?

I had a friend his Dad's name was Rex, he had 2 brothers; Tex and Max. That was their real names.

My wife’s brother is Michael. Her sister married a Michael. She married Me. Im a Junior. TooManyMichaels should’ve been my name.

I had a hard time grasping this in my younger years. My wife (G/F at the time) came up with a pretty good solution that has worked for us for years. We each put 60% of our paycheck into a joint account. That pays all the bills and groceries with a little bit extra. When the extra money gets to a certain amount, it is…

When I was looking at getting a supercharger for my 06 GTO, I also thought about trading it in and using the money down on a CTS-V. I decided I could have a really badass GTO or a stock CTS-V. The GTO got the supercharger and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. 503 rwhp with the TVS1900 and a magnaflow catback…

Wow! Ive been saying this since I learned that Jesus died at 33 (early 1990s). I had no idea it was a thing.

I hope they changed their oil change intervals for “M” cars. My 135i, the dealer recommended 15K miles between oil changes and would still give me crap when I would bring it in because “the computer doesn’t say it needs an oil change." Id change it myself with BMW oil and filter every 5K and take it to them for the…

If you can leave 2 black marks from the exit of one corner to the entry of the next corner, you have enough power. Seriously though, 0-60 in low 5 seconds is usually enough power to make something fun in my experience. If its less than 5 seconds its a blast. 400hp GTO was fun, 500+ is a blast. 300hp in a 135i is fun,…

The MK4s came out around the time I was in high school and was a big VW fan at the time (because of my 59 Bug). When I found out you could get a 2 door hatchback with a VR6 and a manual trans, I was sold! This was before I knew of the wonders of turbocharging so the v6 in a small hatch sounded insane! Id probably take…
