As a resident of Tampa Florida and perpetual apologist for the Florida Man trope, I’d like to point out that this astonishing skullduggery happened in Las Vegas - which is ...

I posted last time on this caveat: this dashcam does NOT record the rear facing video. As I’ve been rear ended thrice in my life, that’s a deal killer.

I initially got excited about this camera and nearly clicked buy to upgrade my existing front / rear 720p dashcam ... then realized that it only records footage from the front facing camera, not the rear. As I’ve had three rear-endings in my driving life, two of those hit & run, this is a fatal limitation.

My favorite t-shirt. Worn everywhere except for biker bars.

Exhaust noise aft of a turbo is significantly muted.

Many years ago I put Racing Beat headers and straight exhaust on my RX7 and deleted the air pump. Ran like a banshee, made my 12a faster than a 13b. Downside? The exhaust would would sting your eyes with its carcinogens.

Can you handle the incredible social stigma of my car’s resounding buggering by 80% of Jalopnik’s basement-dwellers? If so then the 1st round’s on you!

If you want a ZX-7 then BUY a ZX-7. If you want an AR80 then that’s what you buy.

Substituting a completely unrelated motorcycle for comparison is like offering a pine cone in place of an apple, reasoning that they’re both plants.

I own an AR80 - I call mine the ‘world’s tallest midget’. I started making go-fast mods and one thing lead to another and now I have an AR80 that would put a Corolla to shame in a drag race. (honest snark)

NEWS FLASH: Florida cannot contain all of America’s stupid.

For the record, here’s why the Florida Man meme exists - the state legislature decided to make Florida’s arrest records open and on-line, before any other state. Naturally the up-shop of that was Florida looking industrial-grade stupid forever.

This is the musical equivalent to asking what’s the best toothpaste for brushing your teeth.

PRNDL and sometimes F for Fly.

The Truth About Cars ran this story a few years ago back when Bertel Schmitt was still the managing editor. I was really peeved to see the accompanying photos, but they’ll sure as F convince the ladies in your life to keep their cute lil dainty feet the hell off your dash.

I was too young to tolerate The Rockford Files reruns as a kid - then I grew up and discovered it’s better than Game of Thrones because GoT never had a Morris Marina as a bad guy’s car. This is a screen grab from a season one episode which aired in ‘74: behold the glory that is a brown Marina with minor accident

My time in Albany and upstate NY has always been free of drama - so smearing ALL of New York because of the moronic antics of the NYC dwellers is unfair. Also: *F* all you awful, murderous, no-signal-using NYC drivers. The times I’ve spent driving in your boroughs ranks with a colonoscopy for unpleasantness.

Wasn’t the Echo chassis, or basically the Echo in general what then became the Scion TC? If so, then the Echo was a competent but ugly duckling.

I know my reply is buried 300+ comments in ... but HOW ON EARTH did you fail to list Space Station 76 in this list? This is a serious WTF omission!

Nicely put. Saab’s death by a thousand cuts should serve as a warning for any country to not sell their prestige auto brands to the foreign competition.
