Is it bad that I want the Alfa Montreal hanging out by my house in Huntington Beach just rotting in the sun to restomod with an LSx and flared fenders?

So I saw other pictures of this and they mentioned there being a tacky "3.7" badge on the fender. Confirm or deny Travis?

also, will it be the Q50 COUPE in 2-door form?

I can explain that one.

High intensity discharge headlamps take a moment to ignite and heat up, and most people are only in reverse for a few seconds - probably just barely long enough to reach full brightness - and HIDs don't like being rapidly flicked on/off. Brighter reverse lamps are a good idea, though.

that seems -really- high. Considering they stamped out those rear ends by the millions through the nineties, it's not like they don't have the dies, engineering or patents or already know how to make one as cheaply as possible. They made them with both cast and aluminum diff carrier housings, they used normal 8.8 diff…

I like driving around with a wild cougar in my passenger seat, keeps me on my toes instead of just trusting that I won't be mauled horribly while driving around. If you want to drive a raw car that will constantly try to kill you, a Viper is an excellent choice.

The technology has been there and the engineering has…

mayhaps you missed what I said.

I DIDN'T BUY THEM. But girls in my life have - and sometimes, good people buy bad cars. It's how garbage they are for the majority of people that will be driving them that's upsetting. These people aren't car enthusiasts, and so I don't expect them to be able to manage the sort of…

I'm hopeful that this means they're bringing out the big guns and offering a more potent sportscar than the RX-8 has been with (obviously) a beefier engine... but given how confusing the Mazda-Star Trek advertising has been (Is there a Mazda even IN that movie? I don't understand the connection at all!) this could…

The drag racing crowd has a LOT more pull than you think they do, unfortunately. Show up at the PRI (Performance Racing Industry) convention in Orlando or the SEMA show in Vegas and actually attend see who the people really influencing decisions are, you'll find out just what I mean.

Their input, coupled with the fact…

how long can we possibly continue to do retro? What next, should the next Mustang look like a Mustang II since we've already done 1964-73 already?

Should the next Mustang look just like a fox body?

The Mustang should continue to evolve; where would we be if in 1969 they said the Mustang was good enough and never did the…

wrong. the lack of an IRS kept a friend from buying a Mustang Track Pack over a Focus ST.
Other cross-shopped vehicles included the BR-Z and Genesis Coupe.

the only advantage of a live axle is that it's cheaper.

And that's not even true anymore, either. You can easily find an entire IRS setup out of a MN12 T-bird for less than $300.

I don't harp on IRS vs Live Axle solely out of some armchair quarterback sensibilities - I'm sorry, but just in every day driving around…

you know what would be amazing? If they'd give us a sodding SYMMETRICAL rear fog light system. Having "just one light" in one tail light looks off balance and annoys the jesus out of me.

Can you explain that one for me?

It isn't about spurning the car because of its truck axle, it's about spurning the car because that truck axle is a pain to live with in anything but the higher spec models.

The ex's 00 3.8L wandered all over the freeway until I went and put oversized, z-rated compound tires on the thing - and now my little sister's…

I could never get past how this car looked. Those goofy hood strakes always killed it for me, and that awful grille didn't help either.

oh snap. I want that Celica more than the Camaro. DAYUM.

I have seen no less than TWO different Lancia Delta Integrales (the 4wd, weird square rally hatch we all know and love) in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA with Florida plates.

Often, when I see a Skyline, it has Texas or Florida plates... in California.

Would it really be that hard to imagine?

May I remind you of the Lincoln Mark VII? You know, the one that had a BMW Diesel for a bit?

Didn't we already HAVE a Stingray autobot? Called Sideswipe? IIRC nobody killed him either, unlike Jazz - whose adoptive automotive form was killed not long after it was introduced, too....

Megatron coming back from the dead isn't a concept unique to the Bay films... Megatron comes back to life again and again because Soundwave puts him back together. And Soundwave is apparently something of a Dr. Frankenstein... but not as much as Shockwave.
