The issue becomes rear vs. forward facing. I can fit 2 forward facing seats in the back of a 911 and I’m 6'1" but good luck getting a rear facing seat back there safely without folding the passenger seat forward. Same with the Alltrack. Forward facing / booster? Good to go. Rear facing or convertible in rear facing…

Deleted because I fail at reading comprehension.

I’m a fellow S30 owner, ‘72, sub-100k VIN, original L24, wide-ratio 5spd swap, headers, exhaust, Western turbine alloys, blah blah blah. I had the same sort of existential crisis when I watched B-is-for-build Chris chop up not one but two early S30's for his M5 drivetrain swap. Part of me is, as someone else here in…

I have a ‘72. Its the ‘73 flat top carbs that were junk. Round top SU’s aren’t awful. Triple Mikunis are better.

Arkansas. There are at least half a dozen groups in the northwest corner of the state where I live... not much else to do around here I suppose haha. You’ve probably already done this, but I googled Northern Virginia Off Road Clubs and found dozens. Some are make-specific (mostly Jeeps). Check out Overland Bound,…

Couldn’t agree more and thats awesome you use it like it’s supposed to be used & not as a commuter like the people here. There are a few Raptor owners around my office, not one has accepted my invite to go overlanding w/the local club I affiliate with. They’ll go to our monthly meeting but when the weekend comes, so…

I think you’re right - I don’t think any manufacturer offers a frame-mounted slider (maybe Jeep on the Wrangler as a dealer-installed option through the MOPAR catalog?) on a new vehicle.

I think its a calibration issue on the g-sensor / roll sensor suite for the side airbags. I speculate that GM uses a one-size-fits-all calibration for all models of Colorado/Canyon. Meaning the 4x2 all the way to the ZR2 get the same deployment threshold on the side impact sensors. Lateral-G loads that a non-ZR2 would…

99% of the Wrangler Rubicon/F150 Raptor/Ram Rebel/etc owners in a 100 mile radius of me right now, for starters.

Please show me where I said anything about these “angles” being “extreme.”

I’m 6 hrs from Dallas, 3hrs from Kansas City, 3hrs from Oklahoma City. Trust me, your nothing town is probably much cooler than my nothing town haha.

I’m amazed these guys and gals were able to hit the angles necessary for this deployment to occur. Means they’re taking their trucks out and actually enjoying them. This is great news & kind of restores my faith in humanity, ever so slightly.

The PITI on our current house in flyover country is less we were paying in rent for a 600 sqft 1 bedroom in West LA. Of course, the price the wife & I are paying in boredom and cultural homogeneity almost makes it not worth it to live here.

In my old neighborhood in LA, 1000 sqft built in 1922 with no driveway on a 7000 sqft lot is $960k. Some might think “small price to pay for a house in the Hills.” But no, sadly, this was not the Hills. This was pre-gentrification Echo Park.

Opposite of the GT-R, sure, but they’re awfully expensive on this side of the pond. For as much as people are charging for Figaros, you could get a low mile R32 or R33 GT-R, and with the difference left over, get a Pao.

It was 2013, and there was a metallic blue mid-70's 911 Carrera in Venice, CA, 80k miles, tea tray spoiler (aftermarket). Yeah, it was the 2.7 but I didn’t care. No rust, no leaks, working (aftermarket) air con. I inexplicably passed on it.

I know. General Mayhem. 

Bad news for these blokes then, eh?

I think this is a much more accurate representation of what an aged Chrysler will look like in 20-odd years. Came here to post it, actually, but you beat me to the punch by a considerable margin.
