Don’t forget the utility of a 2X4 and a socket set. Need to do something quick? 2X4 to the rescue. Longer job? Just remove the hood.

If a truth serum existed I would want it to be used on the entire NBA all star team and I would ask only one question “what do you think about Stephan A Smith?” I guarantee the answers would be much better TV than anything SAS has ever done.

When I am working on my car it is typically to stop it from leaking chemicals.

This is because it only takes 5 miles to realize the car you bought sounds fast, but is a slow turd with Fiat build quality. 

I live in Montana, if there is one place where some cladding makes sense it would be here, and I think it is an atrocity. This is a low wide car not a truck, why people think everything has to be trail rated is beyond me. The basic shape of the car is so classy it is insulting that GM add this garbage to try and…

America-spec plastic wheel well cladding <- this is the most confusing thing about this car. It is such a beautiful shape, but that stupid flat part on the top of that cladding is an affront to design.  The darker color hides it pretty well, but it baffles me how that made it past any person with vision in even one…

If the bug bites you I highly recommend the NASA HPDE program. They do the best job I have seen at helping people learn how to drive on a track.  I did autoX for years then started doing a couple track days a year, then when I got serious I went through the program and became a much better (and safer) driver both on…

Agree and both would have likely increased in value where the Integra did the opposite.

I think this is the best definition of new money. If I were Steph or Clay I would ask to have my number retired as well. If a guy who left can have it why can’t an active player?

Clownshoe is my dream track toy. I also think that generation M roadster is an under rated gem. Around 2005 I had a chance to buy a 1975 911, a base clownshoe, or an Integra and I made the worst decision and got the Integra because I could fit a mountain bike inside it easily. 

I feel the extra power of the E46's made them more engaging than the E30s. Every E30 I have driven felt like a Miata, great chassis but not enough power. The E46 I owned had just enough power to make it feel quick. That added power added engagement for me.

E46 was the high water mark for engagement in a BMW.  The only sedan I would rather have is the V8 M3, just for that engine.

As a lifelong Lakers fan I fully support the concept of this article and a move back to Minneapolis where the name makes sense.

That is one odd looking car. I think they mis spelled something on that valve cover should be 1.3 megatwat.

I had a Viper backfire dropping into turn 5 and I couldn’t hear anything for a couple laps, easily the loudest sound I have ever heard. Also had a Camaro try to use my braking point into 5 and got to watch them go through the tires when they realized a Miata can stop significantly faster then they could. Turns 5 and…

Exactly that track is just fun no matter what you are driving.  I always hated blowing past cars in the final turn then they would fly past me going up the hill.  My 112 HP Miata might not have put down any lap records but it was a total blast to drive there.  

Things that make money for Mopar:

Unless those customers don’t want to pay for the better headlights and added cost to replace and repair them down the road.

So none of these cars pass state inspections? My whole point is if the lights are not safe then mandate brighter lights, but if the cheap ones pass state inspection then they are fine. Drive to the capabilities of your car if the lights are not bright enough then slow down.

There is demand for better headlights, so companies supply that demand at an appropriate price. This is just basic economics. If you want there to be a baseline requirement then do that, but bitching because companies monetize choice is silly. Volvo has charged more because their cars are safer for years is that evil…
