That’s odd. Can’t say I ever had that issue. Mine always stayed put; may be the bolt that holds it has loosened slightly and allows it to wiggle more than it should?
Glad you’re enjoying your NB. I did Koni Yellow shocks with take-off springs from a Mazdaspeed Miata and a Racing Beat front sway bar on mine and it…
I got shafted on insurance payout because the company Travelers Insurance uses to determine value doesn’t really work for enthusiast cars/options. Ended up buying a manual ‘03 V6 Mazda6 which I absolutely hated and then sold and bought a 98 LS400. Basically the opposite of a Miata. My life situation changed…
Yup. Stock 16" ‘02 SE wheels. One of my favorite designs but they are absurdly heavy. All four were destroyed in the wreck, sadly.
I disagree. The NB is the sweet spot for an “only car” since it’s essentially an NA with all the perks (enormous library of aftermarket parts, simple to work on) but updated for slightly better impact protection, quieter ride, usable center console with usable cupholders, headlights that actually do something, a…
Fun fact: leaving these on scratches the absolute crap out of the painted splitters on the Chargers. Challengers have unpainted splitters that aren’t really affected but dirt and debris gets trapped in the ones on the Chargers and just destroys them when someone with functioning eyes buys it and takes them off.
My favorite flavor is ‘Betty.’
I hate. HATE what seems to define “luxury” these days. It’s all features and toys. 47 way massaging, heated, cooled seats with built in detachable personal massager! Wow! We put a TV in the armrest! This all started in roughly 2001 with the LS430, W220, and Bangle BMWs suddenly going from “traditional luxury” to…
yeah but check out that dope Chevy Lumina though.
Promasters are absolute dogshit. Get a Ford Transit Connect instead, if you go down that route, but I’d highly recommend the Flex, especially in V6 twin turbo guise. Definitely not boring.
Before Hoovie got it I had an evening with it for some photos. They’re really amazing vans. Drove great and the “folds down into a bed” thing is far more than the gimmick it seems; I could legitimately see myself spending a weekend sleeping in the van. My wife, who upon first seeing it exclaimed “are you kidding?…
I have a big soft spot for these cars. I grew up in a blue ‘92 sedan and loved the carpeted doors, overstuffed seats, and the long horizontal dashboard that was trying as hard as the beancounters would allow to bring an air of futurism to a basic economy car. Ours had well over 300k miles on it and only went away…
You remind me of the nutjobs who want gasoline vehicles outlawed nationwide immediately or similar trite. “well i wouldn’t miss them” ok cool but your needs and situation don’t even remotely resemble everybody else’s.
Low cargo bed height makes it easy for people with bad backs (me) to get stuff in and out as well as hop in. Fantastic for carrying motorcycles. When unladen they drive pretty much exactly like a car and can even *gasp* handle corners. Lower frontal area compared to “normal” trucks would theoretically improve fuel…
The H2 is available. Naturally aspirated engine making a mere 200hp vs the supercharged H2r’s track-only 300hp.
Kawasaki H2R is supercharged, albeit not strictly speaking a street bike.
Honestly due to the way they deliver power there are worst first bikes.
Also very curious about this.

Finally a correct take. This is also why the Buick 3800, despite being one of my favorite engines, is one of the most godawful sounding lumps of iron in the universe.
