To echo what COMTNDRVR said, Tom would love too, but the people either never follow up, or are still looking at cars and haven’t bought anything yet. People seem to ask this every article and we hear the same thing, “I’d love to, but I can’t.” I agree that I’d love to hear what these people actually buy, but Tom just…

I think the only thing you failed to think about is his leaking roof. While I generally agree with you that keeping (and fixing) what you’ve got is the best course of action, I believe from Ryan’s short write up that that leaky roof is a problem for him. I don’t know how bad it is, or how big of an issue this is for…

I disagree, mine isn’t bad. Well, it’s not technically mine, it’s my dad’s, but it was my HS whip (now my brother’s). It’s a 1974 VW Beetle convertible. It’s a Sun Bug edition, so it’s actually kind of obscure. The license plate reads SUN BUG. It’s simply saying what the car is, it’s not some nod or joke about the…

The visible interior will never happen. The standard of opaque materials allows for space for sponsorship, and no one will ever willingly give up that money, especially with racing becoming more and more expensive.

I am well aware of the Sportlines, I have never heard of one without the black w/ red interior. That’s the interior that I thought some may find tacky. I have never seen or heard that it was an option to have a different interior choice on the sportline, which lead me to believe this was a post factory interior swap.…

I’ve never seen the blue interior, it looks great, especially paired with the exterior. I’ve only ever seen that off-white/cream or red “salsa” colors in the two tone.

What the hell? I’ve never seen or heard about anything like this. My first thought is that a previous owner thought the original interior was tacky, so the did a complete interior swap. I find it kind of hard to believe that this was some one off from the factory, being a low production special edition. It’s not like…

I don’t think he writes for Jalopnik anymore, I haven’t seen a new Tavarish article in months, not since Doug left...

Because insurance? That’s specifically listed as a strong want/ requirement is cheap insurance, because of the high insurance rates for her area.

I’m surprised only 1 or 2 people have hit on this already. The reason all these companies want their own infotainment system is because they want control of the data. Data is how companies are going to grow their profits in the future, by reducing general advertisements to large demographics that are only marginally…

(FCA) did not include any safety-override to prevent rollaway accidents.

I think because the black car is black, it’s just hiding the gap more than this red one.

Except that is ridiculously dangerous.thing to do. Slicks, as used in dry racing for practically all top racing series, are designed for maximized grip. Rain tires are designed to displace as much water as possible to decrease the chance of hydroplaning, inherently lowering the grip the tire provides substantially.

NASCAR already has a rain tire, it’s just only available for road courses where they will race in the rain.

I too have never seen leather in a standard W201, outside of the 16v Cossie and later Sportline cars, though those both ran a set of Recaros.

Based on that upholstery pattern, that is leather, not MBtex.

Came here to say just that.

It was in 6, in London. Han’s Character was actual based on (or is supposed to be) another character Sung Kang played earlier in his career who smoked, but the producers felt it best to not have Han smoking in the F&F franchise.

He had the Will to Power on.

He left to become the head editor of Autotrader’s new blog site Oversteer.
