Sweet jesus is that ever a face only a mother could love. Big-ass goofy grinning grille with squinty-ass wraparound headlights that blend into the giant curve that means up this jelly bean with wheels. Christ. And those wheels are terrifyingly bad.

Holy hell that’s gorgeous

It’s so... citroen. I love it.

Looks like an updated Saturn Ion dash

This front landing strut cover makes me happy for some reason.

This is autocross. The car and a helmet are all you really need, as well as your $25 or lower entry fee for a day of cone-avoidance. Well worth it.

You laugh, but I’ve been to many an autocross with this guy and this car is a legend. The handling borders on unbelievable, and he always finishes on the podium

Shit no. Everything about that car is sexy as hell.

No, but it looks impressive and it’s a HELL of a lot of fun.

No Toyota Previa? It’s an imported egg-shaped minivan available in a variety of bland colors with a weird interior. But it was AWD. And supercharged. And you could have a manual (but not with AWD). And thus I want one.

My LeSabre has a foot operated push-on-push-off style handbrake. I used a rubber band to defeat the ratchet mechanism and unhooked the sensor so the car doesn’t whine at me. Instant oversteer pedal :D

Oh, man. That end result is gorgeous. I’m not a motorcycle guy by any means but that is damn sexy. Makes me want to go get a motorcycle license, though I know my parents would probably take turns killing me so the bike doesn’t get the pleasure.

Crack pipe. I don’t give a shit how you move through gears, these cars are some of the most uncomfortable and atrocious piles of rubbish I’ve driven. I’m talking 2006 Chevy Impala levels of ‘ick’. The one we have has gone through two axles, two power steering pumps, the engine is insanely loud (lol diesel), the fuel…

Oh. I thought this was exclusively “marine engines” shots. I know nothing about this industry so I’m both clueless and awestruck.

Wait, so this thing doesn’t use a centrifugal turbocharger, but instead uses an exhaust-gas-propelled jet-engine-turbine-like multi-stage compressor?
...that’s awesome

Could be oddness with the field of view, but I agree something looks a bit odd there.

Yay Hallet! Are you going to the Miata track day in September? I’ve always wanted to drive a car on a track and thought that could be my reasonably-inexpensive ticket to doing so. Once I get, you know, a Miata.

Truly a sad story. I was really hoping for something stunning, not something stunted.

I dunno. I got a certain satisfaction when I smashed the 107mph top speed of my vehicle (speed limiter tuned out). Never have hit triple-digits since then.

Kinda like this rear end treatment. Probably TERRIBLE for rear visibility but it’s definitely unique.
