I agree on all points except out-brake. For a rider to out-brake a car, they’d need to be skilled and ready to do a panic stop. The car driver doesn’t need any skill and has the element of surprise. I think the average motorcyclist would have a very difficult time out-stopping a car on a true 100% application of the…

I havv never ever understood motorcyclists who tailgate. It’s just totally stupid - I feel like they should just use their motorcycle powers to pass with the flick of a wrist. Easy, can do it basically anywhere with any amount of space. But it’s like they get pissed because you’re not capable/willing to drive as…

How anyone thinks an Italian styled - and engined - Japanese-built turbo Miata is a bad thing is beyond my ability to comprehend. Psst... the engine is the one thing Fiat really understands how to do!

Ha! my reply was meant for the other person who replied to you, but yes. Dat gated shiftur, gurrl. I wants somma dat.

Sabine is so loveable, but there’s no way the beeb is going to lee ze Germans occupy the lead host’s seat.

Yeah. The old one came with one of these.

This is the wrong answer. The Daewoo Lanos, in addition to it’s Pineapple Express cameo, was styled by Giugiaro. There are plenty of other Korean cars to hate on if you must, but this one is not the car you are looking for.

It’s not really a safety issue, it’s the active attack of another person with a car and the fact that people are saying that the Datsun driver asked for it. Um, no. He’s a tool, but his behavior in no way warrants an intentional collision. If I was a safety enthusiast, I’d personally drive a safer car and always take…

Just imagine the trolling potential of this thing. I want to see the full body put back on it, with the unpainted bumper covers and period Geo decals. it would be awesome. I almost kinda want it (nowhere to park or work on it, though).

If they put the full body back onto the Geo, I can only imagine that the freeway fuel economy will be improved over the same vehicle with a TJ body on it. I... I like this? Especially with those kinda flowery Jeep wheels. :3

I drive a Fiat and there is a lot to love in that rambunctious rollerskate. Never owned a Japanese car or a sedan, so.

They don’t care. The key with China would be to make new trade agreements with China contingent upon their respect for intellectual property rights. If they don’t respect international law, then their products will have a domestic market only.

The only make I’ve encountered that doesn’t seem to make a huge ordeal of the thing is Ford. While they still will try very very hard to find one built to your specifications that exists somewhere, even if it’s in Portland, Maine and you’re in San Diego, they won’t give you too much crap about letting you actually…

Hah! I don’t even JDM, bro. Totes didn’t get that one.

While the bulletproof Honda reliability thing seems to be a little closer to legend than reality, I’ll say this. I wound up with a 2003 Civic with the slushbox in my care. This car was abused in every single way by someone who clearly hated cars. The interior had contained a fight between what must have been an entire…

Why even drive those politely? I already need front brakes and a new set of Pirellis on my little commuter Abarth after just 16,000 miles. It’s the theory of getting more smiles per gallon at play.

This. While the body is exotic, the powertrain really isn’t. It’s not like a Ferrari 355 which needs an engine-out service every 15,000 miles. Driving a car like that 1,000 miles a month would be very expensive. This? Not so much.

It sucks to be stuck someone who refuses to execute a pass, but it is frightening that so many jalops think that murder iss the proportional response.

Meh, Oklahoma is tame compared to Texas, and paradise compared to New Mexico. You don’t seem to have the rolling gun-battles the other two do, nor the speeds you see in TX or NM. It’s common to see people pushing 120+ on the highway in NM and people are commonly driving 85 in the slow lane. You don’t see that shit in…

Speaking of the “little lady,” I hope she reconsiders her choice to date someone clearly willing to gamble with her life. This scenario is very likely one in which there was some back-and-forth to escalate the way it did. That is dickhead status. It’s advanced dickhead status to do this shit with anyone else in the…
