1. I wouldn’t.

Without the DOHC motor this is just an over-priced, under-reliable, impossible to find parts for, big brother of the LeBaron Convertible (which is actually a much better car, which is sadly not saying much). Hell, even with the DOHC motor it’s a bad deal...I can think of 4 of these within 10 miles of me that have been…

“It’s not the worst 15 minutes of fame.” Yes. Yes it is. Eh, perhaps not THE worst, but it ranks up there. Besides, it’s starting to sound like it was done on purpose, at least to me. Then again, I have this ivory-tower idea that nobody could be that dumb and survive this long.

I was not aware of her hiring a ‘talent’ manager...that changes the whole complexion of this. She did it on purpose. She’s ‘creating a brand’. How being an idiot is a brand is beyond me, but it seems to work for some. This is far worse than her just being an idiot...

It also doesn’t specifically state that it is not for use in the construction of deep space vehicles whilst in orbit, but I’m going to guess that folks at NASA are smart enough to not attempt such a use. We could go on listing every possible thing a human could do with a gel-like substance, but at some point you have…

I’ve not understood the whole idea of reverse-grids. I mean, won’t teams just figure out how to qualify LOWER so that they’ll be further ahead on the grid for the race? These guys can engineer lap times down to hundredths of a second...they can hit any target they want, slow or fast, so once they’ve established (in…

Getting back to an emphasis on mechanical grip would be great...might also see some better tire technology coming out of F1, finally. I remember watching races ages ago where you’d see passing on the outside, guys coming out of nowhere and somehow finding room, etc. We also saw some great suspension technology coming…

How about television coverage that is more than an afterthought? Don’t get me wrong, I love the no-commercials during the race thing, but overall there is literally no expense SPENT on the coverage...they buy the Sky feed and that is it (sometimes it even cuts in mid-sentence, or out as Sky is moving on to an…

Wow...there are a lot. I mean, there are the ones that are just about the car (NO smoking, no food unless sanctioned, no touching the stereo unless I say you can, no startling the driver in ANY way (unless you see a cop I missed), always wear seatbelts, etc.), never leave a car sitting with less than 1/4 tank of gas…

There is definitely an appreciation of the mechanical...the purely mechanical (no quartz watches for me, even though they often tell better time)...that is at the root of my love of cars and watches. But it goes further, I think. There is the ‘feel’ of a well engineered thing that is also beautiful that is hard to…

There’s definitely something about ‘capturing a moment’...and on a bike, you get tons of those moments. You also just see the world differently unencumbered by a cage around you. I’ve tried using an action cam to try to capture some of what I experience on a ride, but it just doesn’t work. But, perhaps if I had a real…

Just a point...the L98 never had 350hp, the best it managed was 250hp. That said, it’s still quick (and fast), and the C4 chassis has tons of grip. Ride quality is meh, but not really the point of the car.

If they replaced the rear engine with a similar Subie flat four, with the same transmission, then they could build some linkages and shift both together (the accelerator would be even easier as it could be a simple cable arrangement). That would eliminate issues of different gearing and powerband on the engines. Could…

My 99.5 Audi A4 had cloth seats...excellent Sport Seats, actually...with heat. I have longed for those seats in every subsequent vehicle I have owned. My S5 has leather and alcantara, my last A5 had leather, and I’ve had others...plus a couple with vinyl seats (not much difference from the leather, from a practical…

Aspirin might have actually helped...they told him Ibuprofen, I guess because ‘pain’. Wonder why they didn’t go to a different hospital after the first debacle?

My dad almost got one in the mid-80s, but bought a Corvette instead...I’ve wanted one since then. My desire got a boost a few months ago when Hot Rod Garage upgraded one to 276hp at the wheels...crazy! Didn’t seem particularly difficult to install, either. Plus, with all the Fox chassis upgrades available...well, it’s…

Others have mentioned being tall and not having enough space...and that (usually in terms of legroom) is definitely something I’ve dealt with as well, especially with Japanese cars, so that is one no-compromise thing.

“We are so poor, we don’t even have a language...just a stupid accent!”

That’s a good point...I hadn’t consciously noticed, but put it on and checked it out. I think it depends a bit on your nose size and shape, but I could see folks with longer, thinner noses having a little gap. I have a very minor one, but my sunglasses hold it down. Also, with my sinus issues I tend to breathe out…

Yes, but cruising rather than driving hard. Also ‘Low Rider’, another great cruising song....also ‘Spirit in the Sky’, though this one has no lyrics to connect it to cars/driving, it just has a groove to it.
