God, I love the TR6. Lovely looking small, light roadster with altogether too much power for its size.

STAHP with the cool vehicles I want that aren’t coming to America. I can’t handle these headlines. I briefly got so excited about the VW van headline, then the Jimny tease on top?

Challenge: build a functioning, street-legal car entirely from Home Depot materials.

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.

I loved Georgetown until Sun City

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.

I’m not being snarky or anything, but why not? I was discussing with a friend awhile back about placing RFID sensors on light poles to track peoples’ movements. He seemed to think it over-stepped the bounds of privacy, but does it? You’re in public, and I’d personally be OK with the police knowing where I am at all

The only way to stop bugging is to physically remove the battery. “Wire taps” can still get information even with a phone off. It draws miniscule amounts of power to remain active and send the information. So your camera, voice, and other data can still be sent at all times if you have a phone without a removable

Because you were near a bad person. You may be near another bad person at another time. It may be coincidental. However, unlike those who had no such devices, it is a part of your permanent record going forward forever. This is an information grab to track people that cops think are bad by association, coincidence, or

I thought staying indoors ensured my right to privacy. [ventures outside into brave new world]

Cause...Privacy, violating my rights. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to give every single app permissions they probably don’t need and gladly share my every move with social media while making my house smarter and placing cameras in every room.

You do know that suppressors don’t make guns quiet, right? They take off like 30dB, and the start point is usually over 130dB.

There’s a difference between going for the best track speeds and actually having fun daily driving.
