The first gen Ford Probe was a great little coupe, especially in turbo guise. My parents had one when I was a little kid and man, that thing was the fastest, and coolest car in the world. Even when I was sitting in the middle between my brother and sister with our seatbelts crossed over so I was “belted in”. It’s…

This is the generation of Corvettes that was new when I discovered cars and will always have a special place in my heart. I used to think the seats and dash were horrid (still do), but with Rad-Wood and CyberPunk 77 being a thing, the design is starting to grow on me in a nostalgic kind of way.

The unmentioned Buttonwillow version will have pre-applied dust, AC delete, and the inability to wind down the windows to allow point-bys. The only option will be a Miata sticker to put on your rear view mirror.

What’s the first most track worthy? The CT5? I think the smaller, lighter, and shorter wheelbase of the CT4 will make it more fun to drive on the track. Do you think the M5 is a better track car than the M3?

If I were a UPS driver, I would probably bring my own, but I think constantly connecting and disconnecting these from their coolant supply (150+ times a day) will cause a lot of issues. Especially if it springs a leak.

iPhones allow you to turn on Do Not Disturb for a set amount of time.

That or the Boxster for me... although I’d have a hard time getting a Boxster over a Caymen...

put a couple of superfluous pipes, lights, and “sensors” on the outside and this thing is straight out of Cyberpunk 2077. I love it and must have one.

I think you misconstrued OP’s comment regarding the “just” part. I don’t think he meant recently, I think he meant wantonly and regrettably. And my comment was in regards to the expansive system that was ripped out in the 60's, only to kind of be replaced by an anemic subway/light rail system 30 years later. Which only…

They used to have a street car system in downtown. Had they not ripped it out on GM’s insistence, it likely would have continued to grow and become an excellent example of how a major US city can do mass transit.

During cash for clunkers, I had a coworker with a clean California, white ‘91 BMW 325i 5 speed coupe that I TOLD him I wanted. He decided to give it to cash for clunkers and was surprised when I told him I would have paid him a LOT more than the $500 he got for it.

Or ya know, at another facility, or in a harbor, or at a dry dock... They don’t have to go out into high seas and try to install 160 foot tall masts.

How much taller is the mast in comparison to the bridge? If it’s just a few feet, can’t they add more ballast and just get the ship to float a little lower in the river? Also, if you look up the ship, it’s obvious that the masts can be removed (or the ship was in seaworthy enough state to float prior to them bein…

The whine could be the transmission. Cars like these have straight cut gears, and they’re exceptionally loud.

It’s a Ferrari F40 with an F-22 tail.

For $12,000 you could do a poor-man’s European delivery for one of these. Just go to Europe, enjoy Germany, Spain, Italy, and/or any myriad of other LHD countries, find your own, ship it back, and get all the paper work done and still likely spend less than $12,000 - depending on how much Bavarian beer you drink.

Oral agreements are worth the paper their written on. 

That’s a massive issue with a lot of older cities that decided to plop down freeways right through the middle of them. In the town that I grew up in, the freeway was built above the rest of the city on a manmade hill and the only way to get from one side to the other was either on a major street (1-2 miles apart), or…

As someone who just moved to the suburban wasteland of Henderson, NV, I often struggle with this idea. How could we meaningfully impact the dependence of cars in the cities that are already built for cars. We’re not going to raze these “master planned” communities and install beautiful, walkable and livable…
