Guilty as charged, I have set, in turquoise. Nearly matches my Dobinson’s coils for MY ‘99 Montero.

This is so strangely fascinating. This is modern archaeology, without a doubt.
Ride sharing idea: It’s called “Hopon” I pay a stranger through an app to hop on their back and carry me. Think of all the homeless we can give jobs to.
Thanks for the Talon love. I was NOT the Jalopnik winner. My car was the other tan Talon. Also, I had the bumper painted on my Talon about 15 years ago, recently it started to flake on the top, drives me crazy when I see it.
My Galant on Jalopnik, wowowowee.
A little trick I’ve picked up over the years is to pop the center cap off the wheel, (you might have to take the wheel off) then you can crank on the axle but without fear of rocking the vehicle off a jack stand, because the weigh the vehicle is on the wheel and tire. Also keeps it from spinning on you if you don’t…
Alex is super nice guy too, glad to see him getting well deserved attention.
This is exactly what I was thinking while reading this. I like seeing people repair cars the way I too, nice and clean and methodical.
These where underrated cars and like you said, they are pretty much bullet proof. You never needed that 10 year 100k warranty did you? Not many other companies will do that. One of the issues when I work for the dealer in the service department was we stood around like the Maytag repair men. Say what you will about…
This COTD sums it up for me. I have a group of friends that are into karting and we can usually rent time or have enough people show up at “arrive and drive” for our own heats. We’ve typically found that since it’s so hard to pass on small indoor tracks, we never determine the best driver of the day by finishing…
How is he a car salesman and had a Sunday off work ? If you’ve ever worked at a dealership, that’s the real question.
They were only sold as autos. That being said the cars have a nice chassis and despite being auto, the one I drove was really fun. NP
If you want to get really exact, this car was prepped by Vermont Sports car for SRT U.S.A.
I love my Galant VR4, super fun car to drive. I've run into a few people over the last few years that had never seen one in person.
I certainly enjoy mine.
The livery is still iconic for what it stands for. I also find the darker blue much more appealing than the later Subaru WRC blue.
Insanely fast for such an “old” rally car platform.
TSDs are both fun and infuriating at the same time. Try Buffum’s Winter Challenge, it’s run the way rallies existed before the “closed” stage concept was born. Very fast CAS, traps, map reading, all all at night, for 12 hours and it usually snows.
I don't think there are any GVR4s on eBay right now.
With Comcast cable, as soon as the T.V. Broadcast was up, the FoxSports Go app feed was cut and didn’t come back till the T.V. Broadcast ended. Also the race started at 9am EST, I couldn’t start watching the FoxSports Go feed until 12pm, what was that about ? I was at least able to watch 80% of the race, but it wasn't…
