I’m still hot on a first-gen Nissan Leaf spec racing series.

Those early taillights with the amber lenses are the best out of all the 996 taillights.

There’s a guy in my area with a tuned 550i GT, and that thing hurts some feelings. This 535i GT, it just hurts. ND.

Our city buses have also totally switched to CNG/LPG, but somehow they still sound like city buses. These propane school buses sound different. Maybe it’s something to do with the LPG fuel system. Beats the heck out of me, but I agree it’s nice to taste the meat and not the heat.

While this is quite the propane accessory, I can’t help but do a doubletake whenever I see one of these on the road. My local school system bought about 100 of these buses with 6.8L V10, and they run them on propane. They just sound....wrong. No clatter, no big-displacement growl. Just a weird buzzy sound.

This makes me wonder what parts of today’s automotive marketing/training will we look back on in 30 years with the same feeling as we do today for Ford Laserdiscs and Buick floppy disks? Click-through interactive sites? AR demos?

Kinda reminds me of how GM used to spell “gauges” as “gages”. I guess technically it isn’t wrong, but it certainly feels wrong.

David, you are certainly a man of the people for airing all of this dirty laundry for us all to read. As someone whose hair started falling out at 19 and wired a push button start into his 1993 Geo Prizm using crimp connectors and hot glue, we all gotta start somewhere. Respect.

I was thinking more along the lines of The Velvet Underground’s The Gift. Especially the part where the guy who mails himself gets stabbed in the head with a box cutter.

I imported a Beat last year! If the timing belt hasn’t been changed in the last handful of years, make sure to replace it asap. And the capacitors in the ECU have a tendency to leak over time and can corrode the PCBs. But if both of those items are in good shape, you’ll have a hella fun and decently reliable exotic!…

Watch out for your cornhole, bud.

But they signed afterdavids! 

This is neither here nor there, but I just noticed that the H3 appears to share a fuel cap with the Pontiac Aztek.

These are the importers who helped me find a Honda Beat last year. They get some pretty awesome custom orders, like this Isuzu cabover RV

I feel like all old German cars smell like crayons. My friend’s mom had a W124 estate with that amazing smell.

I’m piggybacking here, but David Dissects was awesome, and would love to see more “how shit works”.

Reminds me of the 1993 Geo Prizm I had in high school. I think that thing was like 2300 lbs. No power steering, no power windows, no passenger door mirror (until I got t-boned and the replacement passenger door had a mirror!), no ABS, manual transmission. It did have A/C, but it wasn’t worth using because it sapped…

This is a good point. I feel like cabover trucks are inherently more sinister than conventional trucks.

Car games are still cars.

All these options, and you still can’t rent anything from U-Haul if you own a Ford Explorer.
