Ever seen how many Tundras and Tacomas are out terrorizing rural America?

Leaf-Camino. They couldn't get L-Camino, so they went with the next best thing.

John Davis doesn't age. He won't be retiring until 2082, when he gets bored of doing Motorweek for 100 years

Didn't know that they put the 4BT in anything on-highway, I thought it was mostly bulldozers and other light duty construction equipment. Good to know!

I'm going by MA/ New England prices, where MA has a strict rule that you can't transplant a non-highway engine into a street truck, and if you do find a street engine, it can't be older than the chassis that you swap it into. So, 4BT swaps are only possible if you know a guy at the inspection station, or install it in

Because a running 12V Cummins 6BT with 200k miles and a transmission still goes for $6000, then you need a construction crane to get the damn thing in the truck, and then install it.

I know Amsoil is tip top shelf stuff when it comes to oil, but I'm gonna need some backup that Mobil 1, Royal Purple, Valvoline Full Synth, etc, are bullshit because my family has been using the aforementioned 3 for a combined 50 years and have never had an oil issue in our engines apart from overtorqued drain plugs.

Freedom boner: 17.76 inches right now

First we get 167mph civics, and now there's a production car that beats mine to 75mph...except it's doing 248mph by the time I'm speeding on the interstate.

Time for me to invest in an F-14, it's the only logical move

BMW did it for them! It's called Rolls-Royce.

Same guys that made the OG LLV (aka the current mail van.) Grumman sure knows how to cobble together a truck with old bits of off-the-shelf US automakers' parts.

"found a possible fuel leak following a pre-delivery inspection."

Doesn't sound acceleration-related to me. Maybe some loose hose clamps on the tubes attached to the tank? Leaky fuel injectors? Who knows.

This thing is a roll of duct tape (grille blocking) and a screwdriver (mirrors removal) away from being a 170mph Civic from the factory.

I'm gonna need a minute to process that one.

Second one in on each side

I imagine anyone designing this that even murmured "subtlety" was immediately taken out back for "re-JDMification"

We have to go further back. This is the Jeff Gordon livery forever burned into my mind, and time has only made it better.

Some people like to work on their cars. Not as a hobby, but because they're masochists and/or learn things the hard way.

Oh yeah, Suzzane? Tell me more about this middle class opportunity! Please!
