Motortrend on Demand is the ONLY thing that I subscribe to. Ironically, I can’t watch Top Gear America on MTOD in the country where I live so I still need to download it from a torrent site. 

Each side was stamped individually, but it does incorporate the window and door trim and A pillars. When I bought my car I watched the episode of “How It’s Made” which shows them stamping the quarters. It’s probably on YouTube still and really interesting to watch.

I also don’t care for the 4th gen but since I was little I’ve always wanted a 3rd gen. I was born when they were in production so being from the same time period really attracts me too. 

And it’s a car website so I feel fine sharing my car. Cars and coffee and on the track in China. 

Keeping this related to the cover picture, according to https://www.hotrod.com/articles/0907phr-20-facts-about-2010-chevy-camaro/ the 5th generation Camaro had the biggest stamping die.

A few years ago my car was in the shop so I borrowed my friends Jeep Cherokee. I loved the old schoolness of it, manual steering and all. However, while it had a manual transmission there was no tach. I guess so the driver would keep their eyes on the road? Speedometer was there but didn’t matter, it couldn’t get fast…

Taobao is already selling the T-shirts if anyone is interested in getting one!

This brings back memories. In the 80's when I was a little rocknroll jeph my grandparents on my dad’s side had a white Town Car with teal interior and my mom’s side drove a white Mercury Grand Marquis with a burgundy interior (and blanketed back seat for his golden retriever). Seeing this shape just brings back the…

Reminds me of the Tiburon I had in 07. Also straight pipes but 2 straight pipes for twice the noise! Absolutely no go and no guts in the 2.0 it had, but it made me smile every time when I made car alarms go off just driving by. I don’t regret getting rid of it but it was right for the time and for who I was then. 

My family had an old Nissan Bluebird station wagon when we lived in Hong Kong in the late 90’s. I don’t remember it having this feature. I wish we could have kept that car when we left. It was so wonderfully out dated in the 90s but still so clean as the previous owners hardly drove it and it was always kept in an…

We had a 1995 Accord Wagon ( as well as a 91 Accord EX and 95 Accord LX all at the same time). While the wagon is a very versatile car, comfortable, able to haul a good amount of things and I thought that it didn’t look bad in stock silver and beige. Unfortunately after more than 10 years of ownership (we bought it…

I’ve done a lot to both the cars I own from brakes, suspension and minor engine work but the things that are the most handy are the GPS I bought in 2009, which I keep updated. It does everything I need and is super easy to use. I double check with Waze or Google Maps before I set off when I use it but it has been with…

I did the same thing, but then went to Pilot Sport 4S for the summer and couldn’t have been happier! 

I’m reaching the end of my 3o’s and have only owned 3 cars, 2 of which I still have. I am pretty proud of my automotive selection overall, but the one car that I kind of felt guilty for owning was my Hyundai Tiburon. It was the first car I bought after I started working. I had been riding street bikes prior to that so…

Edit... I found a picture of that POS on an old hard drive.

It was about 10 years ago my friend and I wanted to buy a beater to beat on. We found an 80's Ford Escort on some random lot in the suburbs of Detroit. We picked it because it had a manual transmission and was under $400. I think I chipped in $100 or so. The shifter didn’t really have any bushings so finding a gear…

I’ve had my E85 for over 12 years now and I still can’t cat get enough of if. I would never call this car ugly, however when it first came out the pictures really didn’t do it justice. When I saw it in person, maybe 2005 or 06 was when it just made sense. The interconnecting lines and curves, stance and presence are…

As with so many others I have car pieces around my house (my Camaro’s hood is the back drop to the tv) and some vintage stuff is decorating. Of course posters and metal signs are ever where but the most obvious thing that is decorating our apartment is Lego vehicles.

While I am not the best driver, I do feel that I am better than the average person on the road.

We had a Toyota Van I have some vague memories of it being new, when we picked it up in 85. Mostly I remember that I had AC controls next to my seat, long road trips to Florida, going to hockey games/ practice and the browness of it.
