If you're going to own a shitbox beater like this you need to know how to work on it. Otherwise it's going to spend it's life in the shop extracting thousands of dollars from you.

The dangerous smog levels that Paris had been suffering under – caused in large part by the Diesel particulates from Paris' many Diesels – was over double the safe limit, but after a single day of half the car population, it now seems under control.

Track Day Cars:

I love how they make note to the viewer of what tire the car is on. This is something that gets glossed over 99.9% of the time in automotive comparisons. Back when I used to autocross on R compounds I could beat Z06 corvettes on their street tires with my stickies on a Dodge freaking Neon. Tires are a…

Nah I don't want some 250lb ex has-been tossing his cookies in my racecar. Just stick him in a 125cc shifter kart for 50 laps in July. He'll be crying uncle before he leaves pit lane

So basically Toyota is having a contest to see which Toyota is the least Toyota.

Here's an 85 928S, manual, LSD equipped car for $8250. Someone buy this so I don't. It's freaking beautiful.

Before getting super special tuner editions, how about we get a Mazdaspeed out of the way first?

With no more RX-8, I don't understand why Mazda doesn't put the turbo 2.3L or the 3.7L6 under the hood of the Miata.

I disagree. I think it's easy to trivialize something like this, as you do very aptly, if you look at the surface of the implications but not the substance... Sure, you don't want to dumb down sports to make them easier, but since that has nothing at all to do with this issue, let's move on.

You know what else is made from oil?

Loads and loads of fun!

Q: @LandRover, What suspension setting should I use to climb over this type of terrain?

Whether or not the driver was at fault, he was suddenly looking at a 100 angry bikers and fight or flight kicks in. His instinct (which looks to be justified) was to get the hell out of there as quickly as possible.

Riding in packs like these brings out the a-hole in some idiots. They feel the safety in numbers, and think they can give "the cars" some pay back. I'm not sure what happened but I'd say the guy in the SUV floored it to get away after being cornered, threatened, bullied and seriously out numbered. He should have…

nah... those dipshit squids where breaking every law of the road they could... and then one gets run over and they assault the cager? nah... shit don't work like that... you ride dumb, you die fast.

"Running over bike riders is in no way justifiable" - I respectfully disagree.

Why not keep your favorite car forever? I spend a lot of time thinking about this and here are the reasons I've come up with.

- People have a mindset that older cars are unreliable and need to be replaced.
