How much you want to bet that “most satisfying” list overlaps with the “most smug owners” list pretty constantly.

The first car I bought with my own money was an 88 Rx7 which was awesome.  However it very quickly was broke and so was I.  So I did what any cash strapped kid with dreams of modified cars would do.  I put LED windshield washer squirters on my car.  Autozone must have been proud.

140,000?  Have I been living under a rock.  I thought they were doing like 5000 a month.

I know it makes sense but being able to look back 100+ years and see how the mascot had to evolve due to how tires looked over the years is pretty neat.

There was a show car back in the early 2000s that was a purple accord (like 91) with 27 tvs mounted on it. Sounds benign until you saw that there were at least 10 mounted in the body work on the outside of the vehicle. On the doors on the hood, on the roof. All fully molded into the body.

Calling it?  I’m pretty sure this has been well known for a while.  In fact I’m pretty sure the First Rule “Don’t talk about the clownshoe” came from this site specifically to try to keep prices under control.

His hands look enormous.  I clicked on the article just to comment about his hands.

Today, Catchpole notes that the driver’s seat feels “about a foot closer to the ground” than it does in a modern Lotus Evora, which, wow.

The if you think the idea of using the NASCAR 4 speeds is endearing then you haven’t seen the massive amount of LS swaps (and even several leftover NASCAR engines) or the even more prevalent quick change rear end (Winters, also in PA).

The rhythm is weird. Our Odyssey has a pretty noticeable tick on cold starts but it is super consistent so you can tell its from something affected by the engine rotating. This...clearly isn’t directly caused by that.

Pretty amazing that the swap was able to be done at the major component level.  The three weeks it took was what blew me away.  I’ve had far simpler projects take at least that long when life and family need to be attended to.

Geeze, I work in an industry that is completely run and funded by republicans, has hardly any diversity (mostly old and white, its changing a bit) and is the kind of job where you can seriously screw up and you still will have a job the next day. This kind of stuff would have you out on the streets before the day was…

According to Haushalter, what Toyota did was alter the tuning on things like steering effort and suspension damping.

The best iteration of this challenge will come when we all decide to figuratively blindfold ourselves from anything related to it, since we’re all vicariously losing IQ points—and potentially getting wrecked into by blindfolded drivers trying to prove their readiness for the monster apocalypse—by the second.

Sun visors that actually block the sun. If you need to make them extra wide, with an extension, or with an odd shape that’s fine but block the sun when its near the A pillar or the rear view mirror.

I think the biggest problem with the Rx8 wasn’t the engine (the thing is awesome once you get to the top of 2nd) but the fact that (very) slow 1-2 gear performance threw a shadow over how fantastic the chassis and suspension were. Seriously, the chassis is a beast even with the stupid rear doors and the handling was…

Weird, that’s the story of how I ended up with my first Rx8...

What was the reason for using the Blackwing V8 vs using the LS architecture that made the V famous? I thought the whole point was to have a luxury sedan with an insane Pony car V8, not the luxury version of a V8.
