I drove a friends brand new Miata a few years ago and that drove me crazy, I though the engine had a problem, with oil pressure. I have a oil pressure gauge in my Camaro, so I am used to seeing how it reacts to throttle and RMPs, etc but the Miata’s readings were really throwing me off- and now I know why. Also in…

Nibbles kept eating my pictures the first time around.

I am in Dubai right now and in the UAE the Land Cruisers are so abundant. We went to the desert and sand dunes and saw an endless progression of them coming in and out of the dunes. In our ride we had 7 adults in the car, got up to 70 KPH on the sand and had a great time. This was my second visit to the UAE and I have…

On the Camaro5 forum website there are quite a few members who have a Camaro in the UK, so there was a time when Chevy’s were being bought.

My parents had a thing about American cars starting in the 70's so they only bought imported cars or foreign manufactured cars. Before I was born my parents went to Germany and brought back a VW but by the time I was born it was full of rust holes so they replaced that with a Subaru GL in 1982. Later when my sister…

As for how Tokyo stays clean, it think it is a group effort. Everyone has been taught to be very careful and curious. In fact the last time I was in Tokyo the only people I saw littering were foreigners.

I am not a fan of front wheel drive cars, but I learned how to drive in a 91 manual Accord, so to see such a nice example of 90's Honda-ness I would be willing to drop nearly 4000$ on that car. When I was young I also liked the Del Sol, that may also be playing a part on that.

One of my neighbors here in Beijing has a GS8 like the one pictured above. I can’t say anything about the interior or how it drives, but it looks very nice in person. The front lights are very unique, they are my favorite feature by far.

Thats the car that first got my attention. My babysitter’s son had one. I couldn’t even peek into to the windows I was so small, but I have memories of thinking that the black IROC-Z (I already knew my letters apparently) was the best thing on wheels, and I loved anything with wheels. I still want one today and my…

I have had a few experiences driving in RHD countries. I lived in Hong Kong when I was younger and it never stopped being funny when my dad went to change lanes and the windshield wipers came on. Seriously, every time. Playing video games and those experiences prepared me well enough to feel cautious but secure…

Isn’t that the truth? Before I was into cars in was an avid skateboarder and sported a medium length green mohawk. One day my friends and I were skating in a smallish midwestern town when a small POS of a pickup truck overloaded with maybe 8 of the most steriotypical shirtless or tattered shirt wearing rednecks of…

I may be a bit biased, because my good friend has a 4th gen. It is one of my favorite cars ever. According to his records the car he owns was one of the press cars for when the Bullett was just released, it may even be the very one in the picture above. His was the 15th Bullett ever made and has had it for around 10…

Wow, that’s pretty good! I am continually impressed with how far big horsepower cars have come too. Too bad I don’t usually go farther than 5 miles from my home for months at a time, I have no chance to stretch its legs or even get it into 6th for more than a minute or two a day.

I have to share with you, I daily drive a pretty modified V6 Camaro and I rented a Camaro SS last spring and drove it for a week. While it felt quite similar to my car (except for the torque... V8 FTW there) the V8 also got better gas mileage than my V6 does. I think because I am in the city 95% of the time I drive…

I live overseas and drive a 5th Gen Camaro. Many people- mostly Expats- come up to me and comment on how they love my Mustang/ Challenger/ Charger and how awesome it is. I like the attention I get but locals are a bit more careful and ask me what make it is, and don’t just blurt out a muscle car name like those (us)…

I have always loved lego. Some sets are fun to build, some are fun to play with and some are fun to look at. This one goes in the fun to look at category. The build was a bit repetitive and it is fragile to do the transitions- I usually have a few pieces fall off when I am showing it off, but I am very proud to have…

Hmm. My BMW doesn’t have any C Pillars... And most times not even a B pillar.

I know this is going to sound pretty cheesy, but when I was a young rocknroll Jeph in the late 80's my babysitter’s son had a black IROC Camaro and I remember it being in her driveway a few times. To me that was the best car in the world. I couldn’t believe that I could be so close to a machine like that. It was like…

This week been a great week for Initial D references! I feel like I just need to find the hard drive where I had every episode and binge the weekend away.

Good luck, I’m hoping you get lots of enjoyment out of your car when it gets all sorted out. I know mine has been great to me.
