To some of us, cars are more than transportation. They are more than technical precision or perfection, or a series of performance numbers. To us, they have a soul. They carry memories. They convey emotion. Every time we sit in a car we’re connected to, a little bit of every past experience comes back. I think this is

I have heard much the same chest-thumping drivel out of 19 year old Army ROTC cadets. I guess we should all be as happy as you with our choices. Personally, I am glad I never served anywhere near you, I get the feeling you’re insufferable.

Another satisfying and important forklift video.

Some say, his sweat is a perfect chemical match to anti-freeze which makes him imcapable of feeling the emotion we call fear.

Great car and great review. I’m quickly becoming a fan of XCAR and I’d actually choose this over a 911. Clarkson once said the only reason you’d buy a Boxster (and by extension, a Cayman) is that you can’t afford a 911 and that by driving one, all you’re doing is announcing to the world that your life hasn’t turned

Wow I just realized that that 420HP twin turbocharged is what the 996 Turbo had

Most people fail to realize that Nevada is much larger than Las Vegas. Where I live we have about 5 days a year above 100 degrees. It really does suck riding in clean air through the mountains at 70-75mph let me tell ya.

That reminds me... DONT PANIC!

Really? Driving through a moonless night with the Milky Way beaming back at you sans light pollution as you trundle towards parts unknown sounds bad?

That may be the single worst over fender / flare job I have ever seen

Had my valve cover gasket replaced and started noticing little droplets of oil underneath my car. Took it back to Uri, my mechanic, and he acknowledged his mistake and fixed it for free immediately. Had him do a belt service, and they were squeaking about a week later. Took it back to him, same deal. He may not be the

Unimog? Unimog.

A school bus, of course.

As a matter of health, I seriously suggest you get all the rat/mouse stuff out of the cab before you do anything else. Then clean the hell out that corner until all the urine and feces is gone. If you can still smell it, it isn’t safe. This is a no bullshit suggestion.

I owned a bike very similar to this in Germany from 1987 - 1995. Mine was repainted metallic forest green and the primary was brushed aluminum. I installed drag pipes the 2nd week I owned it. The package tray was chrome. Saddle height was a very low 25 1/2”. Talk about being deep down inside your bike! I had a pair of

I have been severely disabled due to a military accident. Although it has never been an issue, I wonder what my options/situation would be if I am asked to perform a field sobriety test. Stone sober I lurch around like a drunken sailor and can’t walk a straight line to save my life. Do they have alternate tests? FWIW,

Chuck Yeager knew all about ground effect too. The invisible cushion that will nearly insulate you from the deck at speed.

This is a good comment.
