Ecodiesel is a V6, you’re thinking of the Cummins I6

A solid 60% of Action Bronson’s songs have some type of reference to quasi-weird cars, bikes, and trucks. Hell, he did an entire album called SAAAB Stories

“Legendary shit; wrote lines in my brother’s Acura

“I remember when I couldn’t afford a Ford Escort”

Now playing

“I’m in the Benz on Monday, a BM on Tuesday,

I’d rock the fuck out of a Prius Gazoo. Give it like, 170hp NA/220hp with battery black magic and under 3200 pounds, don’t make it look like a praying mantis, hatch/liftback, and make it under $28K, we might be cooking with fire.

Don’t you have some offs to fuck?

I’ll talk to the point of the LS4 Montes. I have an Impala SS with the LS4, and I can confirm, it’s stupidly fun to drive foot to the floor. It’s not particularly fast by modern standards, but it’ll cruise at 100 for hundreds of miles without a care in the world and still return an indicated 20mpg. It’s a royal pain

Frig off Ricky

When a Garmin nav system with a friggin dash cam and backup camera functionality costs less than $400, gets lifetime (free!) updates on streets, real time traffic alerts and route guidance, and works about 100x better and faster than vehicle infotainment systems, there is absolutely no compelling reason to buy a car

Those wheels look like they’re straight off of a GMC GMT900

It’s easier because they’re front hinged. Every car I’ve seen that opens from the front opens almost vertically, which gives you lots of room to bend over and stand up when working and not worry about hitting your head on the engine, plus there’s less intrusion into the engine bay from hinges, prop rods, and gas

Microsoft is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to put Halo on the halo, with Halos oranges on the other side of the halo, so you can eat Halos while you watch F1 and see Halo on the halos. Dawg.

Don’t you put that evil on me ricky bobby

They really are sweet little cars. I immensely regret selling ours but I was 17 and didn’t have a welder or the cash to have someone weld in a new set of shock towers...it’s a shame, the engine purred beautifully and went through the gears nicely when it was up on jacks. Might have to go check this 320i out and get

Burnt orange, might have been a brown color but the paint was very oxidized. Tan vinyl/leatherette interior. I believe it was originally sold in MA. Square taillights, full US bumpers, 1976 model I believe, 4 speed with a sunroof.

WAY easier. We bought a sight-unseen 2002 for like a grand a few years ago, and although the rear shock towers were more cardboard than sheet metal, I was fascinated by how easy it was to get at the engine. These and the old Saab’s (and gen 1 Vipers, I assume) are stupid easy to wrench on the engine.

I want Bobbito Garcia to color-commentate my life

Use whatever tires aren’t on your car as a coffee table base / nightstand. Just stack them up and put a piece of glass on top. It’s a good conversation piece and the rubber smell goes away after a day or two.
