Personally, I think this is a problem of “it worked fine for 24 years, what’s going to stop it from going 25?” and not even bothering to look at things like fuel lines. These were designed for very little maintenance and I imagine most post offices don’t have someone on staff to even check it over every once in a…

I’ll be honest, without traction control, they would kill themselves in the dry in either car. I’ve driven the AWD car hard on a canyon (rented one on Turo to take to the LA canyons) and it’s still RWD biased and picks up speed fast enough to get you in trouble before you even know you need the brakes. The danger is a…

I agree and voted with actual money ;)

The XJ is a legitimately good car. The problem is that it’s a relative unknown compared to an A8, 7 series, or S class and Jaguar doesn’t have the resources to compete with those in terms of constant updates. I would still love to have a latest generation XJR or XJ Supercharged. From what I understand from talking to…

Has no one ever wondered why every single JDM imported engine has “about 60k miles” as if no one in Japan has ever driven more than that before scrapping a car?

Footage of people banging on cars, pulling door hands, screaming at occupants, and surrounding cars seems to refute your claim. 

Thank you. Of the first few comments that I’ve seen, I’m shocked at the high percentage of rational opinions. Usually Jalopnik is a cesspool of groupthink.

Yeah, I had emailed with him a bit when he first got that car. Not sure if you heard, but when the shop he sold it to started taking it apart after his engine exploded, they found that the transmission had already been replaced some time before 80k miles.

Haha, I genuinely think he loves his cars and love makes you do stupid, dangerous things.

Okay, a couple of things. Also, hi! It’s the guy who was smart enough not to take his Exocet on the frigid and snowy DWA CRR 2020.

I have my Exocet taken apart. Not completely, but close enough. I 3D printed a new gauge cluster because I was sick of looking at the Miata cluster. Yesterday I welded up a new mount for that. I also am replacing the headlights (requires me to 3D print a new bracket) and tail lights with entirely different styles. I…

I think the line is “just LS swap it”. 

Brilliant if what you support is economic collapse.

I think you’re confusing CNN with Science.

It’s the TSA, so they will be issued thermometers that intentionally give false readings every random number of passengers for additional blood screening. 

I really don’t think that’s going make anyone feel safer. People who are in favor of requiring masks are not people who are flying. Those two Venn diagrams don’t overlap. 

So airlines are pushing the TSA, famous for security theater, to do medical theater.

100% agreement. MB museum trumps the Porsche museum by a mile. 

First off, the non-red is basically content. Fix this, because it’s bullshit.

There’s an exhaust shop near me that I took my Exocet to. I was in a really similar situation. Those guys were artists. I think you made the right call. However, I took my (former) Mitsubishi Lancer to a dealer for a check engine diagnosis last year. They charged me for an hour of work, having done maybe 10 minutes of…
