1987 Crown Vic (my grandpa’s was white with navy landau and blue velour = heaven). Almost didn’t get to because the statie that gave me my test was too short to reach all the way across to the brake pedal. Said that she’d ok it if we gave her the ok to throw the trans into park if I got into trouble. Had to parallel…
I love that they brought back the child-like decals on the side. All boy-racer Porsches should have them.
Counterpoint: turbochargers might be better than superchargers.
Minor correction, that was Mike Mutnansky that said they’d talk about the documentary for “over 2 hours,” although he’s a poor man’s Callahan for the most part.
It must be, because I’ve heard “chick car” thrown at Miata drivers too.
Never understood how FAG CAR was supposed to be an insult. Do gay people not deserve to drive fun cars? Does enjoying the company of men in the bedroom take up so much of one’s time that they can’t possibly have any left over for other hobbies outside of the bedroom? I actually got into cars in high school because one…
That’s a crackin’ deal.
Symmetrical doesn’t mean front/rear bias, it means everything is “more balanced”, engine, transmission, and differentials are all centered, as opposed to a Haldex type system that places some of the components off-center due to the car originally being engineered for front wheel drive or the transfer case pushing…
I’m not here for the cars, I’m here to defend the poor blobfish. Did you know at the pressures where they normally reside, they’re actually quite normal looking? It’s only when they’re dragged up to our atmospheric pressure that they fall apart and look ugly...
Reminds me of this guy. Although this guy is a bit nuts, as he’s subjecting his Alfa to Boston road salt.
The most expensive used car is a cheap Audi. CP, but holy shit is that price tempting.
I’m not that surprised. The Stig was faster around Monza in a Cayman S than Hammond in a Huayra...
Funny stuff.
Worst thing I’ve done was while changing my brakes. I was trying to knock the rotor retaining screws loose on my front wheels, so I had my son step on the brakes to hold the rotor still while I wailed on them with an impact driver. I got one side loose and pulled the caliper off to remove the rotor, then with the…
This one’s not going to get a 500hp V10 to save it tho...
I only say NP because I’m at the point in my life where I would pay a lot for nostalgia. My first car was a 1G turbo DSM. Still my favorite ride 20 years later.
You thought it stopped in the 90's? (I know these aren’t American, save for maybe the FoMoCo Jag)
