Corvette has proven, time and time again, that “leaf springs” (albeit in a different configuration than most cars) can actually handle VERY well, and save a lot of weight in the process. If we’re talking American cars of the 90's and even 2000's, yeah I’ll agree, but look at the Lightning Lap, Best Driver’s Car, etc.,…

I’m starting to feel bad spamming every Jalopnik article, because, like Deadspin, it has a great commenter group. BUT, I hope if the shoe was on the other foot, the Deadspin staff and commenters would be right with what we’re trying to do here.

Remember American company and semi-GM subsidiary Delphi invented the magnaride-shocks found in some of the best handling GM products, Ferrari’s, Audi’s, and many more.

Stand with GMG union

Right on. 

Braver than me...I’d be afraid I’d get Gawker’d

Maybe he got an unrelenting amount of dick pics

Well fuck. Apparently everyone was causing enough of an uproar

Not to take away from David’s article, but as some of you know, the staff has come under some fire from Gizmodo Media’s new ownership group. One of the staff writers over at Deadspin was recently fired and changes have been made that directly conflict with the staff’s CBA. In solidarity with the union, I have changed…

Never cracked out of the greys on Deadspin, but I’ll show my support and spread the support on the other Gawker...err....Gizmodo sites

Some will say you are on borrowed time after 100K miles for the turbos. Then there are the (IMO overblown) horror stories of the water pump eating a hole through the block and dumping all of the coolant into the crankcase.

We built the twin Briggs 5HP live axle setup in high school. Straight pipes and giant filter. Single seat, no cage, no belts. That thing moved out pretty good. Ripped mean donuts on dry pavement even with tires a few inches taller than the ones above. Definitely unsafe

I was always fastidious too with 4 tires and rotations...and even when my PTU decided to puke its guts out on my driveway, the winter tires I had on were only 1/32 off. Seems like some people get lucky, others do not. Like I never had issues with my turbos, but many others got less than 100k out of theirs

The Haldex system was initially designed by Volvo, and was running for a couple decades in the S60, S80, and XC90. When Ford snagged the chassis for the 500 and later Taurus/Flex/Explorer.

My Flex was awesome, but also slightly disappointing at the same time. It didn’t get anywhere near the gas mileage I’d want...but the engine/trans combo was the awesome (EcoBoost/6-speed auto). Unfortunately the transfer case/power transfer unit was pretty unreliable, and loved to grenade itself without notice. The…

Damn autocorrect, missed that in the reread

2004, ha. When did the EJ’s come out?

This. This all day. Fuller gives them the ball at the four. And you can’t mustard a SINGLE yard. Let’s isolate Adam FUCKING Shaheen *facepalm*

Woof, yeah there was something definitely amiss with my C30...

Yeah, the mileage always bugged me, as I always felt I should be getting better. I even ran premium to try and eek out a couple more MPG’s. But really the best I’d do with 87 was 22 and 24 with 93. Maybe the automatic would’ve given me a bit better? Looks like it was rated 21/29/24, but I never saw the higher end of…
