When Cummins builds a B series, every single one gets tested on a Dyno.  They take them up to full power within 90 seconds of starting them for the first time.

I think it probably has to do with people just not being able to relate to them.  Most of the engines people are noting are high volume engines.  That Porsche engine sounds like a hoot, I didn't know it existed until you mentioned it.

The pentastar V6 is what has made many rental minivans great to drive. It's a 300 hp engine in a minivan!  Absolutely great engine.

Cummins ISX15 performance series, the correct engine in any long nose Peterbilt.

Tough choice.  I own a Jeep 4.0L and a BMW S52 and an M52.  The S52 is the most fun, the M52 the most character and the 4.0 the smoothest.

I have a Jeep MJ with 257k miles on the 4.0.  Everything you say is spot on.  Bulletproof slug.

Hands down agree the Montreal is the best headlight design.

As a person that specifically sought out an over 30 year old Jeep Comanche, I’d love for any automaker to make a serious small truck. You can’t find anything small with a single cab and a decent sized bed. If they sold the Gladiator as a single cab based on the 4 door Wrangler chassis with a 6 to 7 ft bed, I’d already…

Myself and all of my late 20s and early 30s friends know how to drive manual and most of them daily drive one.

As a person who used to daily and e39 M5 and now dailies an e36 M3, I have a hard time with putting down all 3 series. They have a different purpose than the grand touring nature of the e31 or sporty comfort of an e38. I got bored of the M5 after 3 years as it was just not fun on the street. The e36 M3 is way more raw…

As a person who dailies an e36 M3 Coupe, I agree.

My parents bought a 97 Grand Cherokee Limited brand new, had it for 20 years.  They replaced it with an 18 Grand Cherokee Limited in basically the same color.  We all agree the 97 was our favorite.  Felt more like a truck, was easier to drive and see out of, controls made sense, and was much better looking.  Also the…

Back in 2001 my parents sold their 86 W126 Benz 420SEL to a guy in the local paper for $1000. It was rusty and would no longer pass PA inspection. He claimed that he was going to drive it to Florida then ship it to South America where it would be used as a taxi.

Though I agree that independent suspension provides superior handling, I’m impressed with what Jeep managed to do with theirs. I have a 1990 Jeep Comanche Eliminator, 4x4, it handles darn well. You have to be pushing it way beyond what any sane person would do with a pickup truck to make the front or rear end get out…

My 99 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight randomly has a factory optional block heater.  It is a nice feature when the weather is predicted to be super cold.

Sealed up the wind leaks in the quarter vent windows in my Jeep Comanche.  So much quieter when traveling over 25mph.  A quiet cabin is worth so much.

The top of the hood is the most ugly part, it looks like a cartoon person with an absurdly exaggerated forehead.  That and the rest of it just looks like a gigantic minivan.  It has very little class, unlike the previous generation Grand wagoneer which would look right fine pulling up to the valet at a fancy hotel.

A few months ago I bought an almost clean 250k mile 1990 Comanche Eliminator with a 5 speed manual and 4x4 with the 4.0L for $9800. It also needed a tune up. The tune up was easy, tighten all the manifold bolts, wich is a common issue on these engines, and then do basic servicing of ignition, injectors and grounds.…

Im not typically in the Miata is always the answer boat, I completely agree this time.  Off road trim Miata would be awesome.  

The one time I found AAA super useful was when I blew up the engine in my Mini on the Ohio turnpike. After trying for an hour to contact various towing companies, all I had learned is that only one company had the contract to tow off of the Ohio turnpike.  None of those companies I called would tell me who had that…
