Just as impressive in its own way was the repair of the original USS Yorktown (CV-5), which took a bomb through the flight deck and into the boiler superheaters at the Coral Sea, along with a near miss. According to some accounts the Japanese actually thought she would sink. Repair estimates ran as high as three…

I agree. As soon as I saw LG’s name on it I started laughing. There is a great video from many years ago of them “testing” their new suspension on a C6 that involved them hitting a 4"x4" block of wood bolted down while driving 40 mph. It threw the whole corner of the car in the air, but it survived just fine.

I did mine back in 1979. And in Alabama our tests were conducted by the State Troopers.

Good, fast, cheap — pick any two, or sometimes only one. Let me give you a perspective from someone who works inside the system.

TSD/Navigational rally regulations say that all aux lights need to be wired up that way. It’s the right way to do it imo, there’s no situation where you’d want the auxillary lights on but not your high beams, and it makes it much faster to flip them off when a car shows up coming the other way.

It is not a truck, SUV or crossover. Therefore, sales will be low.

I keep coming back to that Tanak crash thinking about all the Group B footage I’ve seen. If this had been 40 years ago, their fuel tank would have probably ruptured when they hit the tree and exploded on impact. The fact that Tanak was giving interviews today where he seemed annoyed more than anything else is just a…

Driving to swimming in under 10 seconds, impressive.

Why not? Its probably cheaper to buy a “brand new” one still on a dealer lot than it would ever be to build a replica.

Comment more, you hosers. Shout down the lame comments with good ones.

You really can’t emphasize this enough, outside some niche forums (and even those tend to devolve into flame wars pretty quickly) this really is one of the only places on the internet that the comment section is actually a discussion, with our corny jokes and puns thrown in of course ;). I’ve learned so much and seen…

So to mirror what PG was talking about. I just went a read an article on a major website about a non-car related thing. I didn’t fully agree what what was said, but I did see the argument. Then I made a fatal error and went to the comments to see what people thought about that.

I think I may have relayed this story to you at the Jalopnik meet-up in Austin, but I once owned a pink car. The problem was, on account of being colorblind, I didn’t know it for three months.

I have this dream of putting together a car charity/ministry. We’d buy old cars on Craigslist, fix them up, then connect with local organizations to get them to people who need a reliable car for a year or two. People getting out of prison, human trafficking victims, struggling single moms, recovering addicts, etc. In…

Because nothing says you don’t give a fuck quite like having a tiny bag specially made so you can pose for a picture to post on social media letting everyone know what few fucks you give.

They are removable, numskull. Also plenty of people track and drift miatas without a hardtop. Kyle Mohan from formula Drift drives a topples Miata. Lots of stupidity in these comments. Also it doesn’t take much to take a car to track days, which is really the only qualifier for calling a car “track prepped”. If it…

Exactly. And how damn fast are these people whipping it into the parking lot that manage to get such a big boulder halfway under their truck? I’m pretty sure would have bumped into and said, “Oh shit, what did I hit? Better back up and find out!”

As someone who has always lived in a city (in Europe originally, now in a NA city that has one of the best public transit systems on the continent), you’re thinking about this still in terms of suburban living, except minus a car, when in reality it’s very different.
