Back when I started getting into driving, around 20 years ago, these cars were 30 years old and still among the fastest non-exotics ever made. The import scene was getting there, but there wasn’t much competition unless some serious money was spent on them. They were quick for their day, as you said, but what you…

I’ve owned a few, yeah. And many other types of cars from the 60's and 70's including cars built by popular punching bag AMC and you are exaggerating. They were not built anywhere near to today’s standards, but they were not built that poorly. A few of them had more problems than others, but they’re actually quite…

Hey now!!!

The problem is that restomods also have no soul,  just a cookie cutter LS swap with ludicrous wheels and tires that make your 69 Camaro drive like a 2013 Camaro.  Too many restomods feel like Joanna Gaines plastering "farmhouse chic" all over mid century modern 

I thought that for a long time. But lately have been itching to replace my ISF and cross shopping F80, C63, etc. Stumbled on a Tesla3 performance destroying them all(even the Alfa in the corners) and that’s before the current upgrades available now. It handles well enough, is a rocket with usable awd, and has enough…

I’ve driven a couple of them and they’re actually pretty fun.

On one hand, this is a nightmare scenario for the man who had the rental repo’d. I am completely on his side and I would be livid if this happened to me. And I’m glad he was finally able to get compensated, which probably only happened due to the Twitter thread getting attention. (Sometimes the Internet does do some…

I got some zinc-free brass the other day.

Or people could, you know, just not race on fucking surface roads?

Eh, not so much. I live in Los Angeles. Check out this LA Times article with 6 month sentence...

It’s not the prices, or supply, that are really interesting....it’s the fact that unemployment is up and salaries/pay are down compared with pre-COVID, yet prices keep rising.

3rd Gear: Semi-Autonomous Driving Tech Is Doing Great If You Pretend Nobody’s Died

I’ve never had a broken door handle or mirror on a car I’ve owned, but I have swore repeatedly at my kitchen trashcan while I wave my hand at the proximity sensor that worked fine 2 mins ago. I love the idea of hiding the handles, but that doesn’t remove the most basic requirement that I want the fallback to be able…

The Chevy Goliath, making 80's kids cry at a dealer near you

E9x and E8x BMWs are much the same, though the filter is 2-3X as big so it only needs to be changed twice as often. It’s about 2‘ long and spans most of the cowl, but still only 5-6 easy to get at screws to change it. My GTI was behind the glovebox but not tools required. The glovebox drops down, then you just squeeze…

I think it’s because so many other cars don’t require you to remove anything to get to the bulb, except maybe a rubber gasket and the wiring pigtail clip. Although they are often still a bitch to get at because...you don’t technically have to remove anything.

I believe every car has that one thing that is harder to get…

And still much worse than far easier ways, like just making them accessible from the engine bay or making the headlight cover removable without removing a painted body panel. Also, it’s sounds like the implementation on your Golf wasn’t too bad. I’m sure you’d be shocked to know GM’s implementation on the Malibu was a…
