Hey now! I don’t need Jalopnik increasing popularity and driving up the price. Im gonna be buying one here in about a year.
It’s crammed up in some very tightly-packaged plumbing, so engine-out is paradoxically the “easiest”. These engine-in approaches are quite fiddly.
Another great article, Kristen. These 90s Japanese sports cars hit the sweet spot for me every time - analog yet have the only features you need (to this day, the only features I want are power windows, locks, moonroof), bullet proof reliability, quick enough, revvy fun, cheap, and look good to my eye. What more do…
I’m on the “feature” side. I can still step the back of my ‘93 out if I’m driving hard, but it’s not quite as easy as with the 91's. The thing still handles like it’s on rails, it’s just less likely to de-rail itself.
A lot of MR2 owners don’t like the red because it was a common option and being just a cliche sports car color, but I love it.
I’ve had mine 3 weeks and I’m fully in love with it. So quick! And it feels so good to drive. Handling is tight, feels stable at speed, and the seats are fantastic.
The answer to this question hasn’t been bettered since 1985. Mine reliably gets 31.3 mpg US, if my converting skills are working, while revving to 7200 without question, and beeing an all around drivers car.
If one were to be tasked with brushing rocks off of the tires before the rollers got up to speed, wouldn’t it be a better idea to do so from the back of the tire as opposed to the front? Not only would the brush[er] not run the risk of getting sucked down underneath the wheel, they’d actually be removing the rocks.…
The wheels are fine (outside of the chrome) but a stanced Testarossa fills me with sadness.
There’s a difference between going for the best track speeds and actually having fun daily driving.
I know it’s hypocritical, but I want everyone else to get one. Seriously though, there’s some unbelievable shitboxes out there, that apparently weren’t being prevented.
And no more safety inspections either. Maybe we are Roxor ready here.
So...they stood around watching while nineteen people in a not-so-high-income part of Detroit suffered triple-digit (if not more) losses to their private property instead of, oh, I don’t know, parking their fucking news van somewhere it fucking BLOCKED the fucking pot hole? Or lighting fucking flares? Or putting…
This will be an unpopular opinion, but there will come a day when people regret demonizing the NRA and driving them to oblivion. It is vital for the long-term survival of the United States of America that a significant percentage of our citizens are proficient in the use of firearms. I just do not understand why…
Is it wrong I just immediately notice the Thundercats insignia on the van? What’s weirder still is the van appears to be in some sort of livery. Is there some sort of Mexican ambulance service that’s using Thundercats as its logo?
Or a 928 S4, because 5.0 V8.
I thought about 968, but I think the 928 is just too cool to not suggest on this topic
Nah, I hope the A10 replacement is just more A10s. And regarding the noise, I’d rather not have anything competing with the BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT sounds.
I want to see this city try towing a car off private property without a warrant from a magistrate. That is automatic grounds for a federal court challenge.
