I always got a kick out of Clarkson’s review of the Touareg V10, when he 2-pointed it, got out of it, talked, got back in and drove off like it was nothing.

It’s gotta be Project Orion...

D2 S8 is a timing belt

Good thing it’s all aluminum, then.

The worst thing about the Cavalier interior was all the parts binning GM did from that interior into other cars.

I'd pay extra for that car, just because the owner hasn't taken it upon themselves to throw some tacky V12 badges on the grill/fenders/trunklid

Realistically, this list could be nothing but E36 M3's on ebay that haven't been turned into stancemobiles.

The opposite; clearing the stalks off the column made it easier to put larger paddles on. The only things you want on the track (since this was designed for racing first and a street car second) within reach of your fingers are the bare essentials; sucks having control stalks in your way, or having to reach for the

OPEC is going to absolutely rape us once they've killed domestic shale oil (and to a lesser extent, the stripper wells mentioned here) from their market flooding.

Civilian version so I can commute to work with one, please.

RS6, either C5 or C6 generation. Nothing says front heavy like a V8 or V10 with twin turbos, intercooler, cooling, and all associated plumbing hanging over the front axle.

They need to change their name to something that doesn't immediately make you think of "screwed over customers and horrible engineering practices"

All of these improvements will be instantly offset with the addition of some Bushwacker camo printed fender flares, leveling kit, +1 wheels/tires (with some mud terrain ProComps), and a billet grill of some sort.

Laws likely put in place during the days of the 55mph national speed limit. Laws likely left in place because, hey, it's easy revenue for the state. I found out about that dumb shit when I was nabbed for 78 in a 65. Being a MD resident (points don't transfer), I happily paid my ticket online the next day without

fyi, the v12 in the f1 was essentially two S50B30's... Shared no common architecture with the M70 v12 used in the e31 which was based off the M20 i6
