With every day, we get closer and closer to the world of eX-Driver:

My next-door neighbor was recently involved in a fender bender (not her fault) while stopped in her fairly new CR-V. Both fenders were damaged, but the engine bay was essentially untouched. The repairs mostly looked to be cosmetic.

“Midnight Purple” sounds like a spy code-name in a 70s Italian spy film

My dad would buy me the occasional Hot Wheels car, and I went to the Chicago Auto Show a few times, but seeing cars as cool didn’t happen until one night in a dark movie theater:

I wonder, is the top speed limited by the hearing, range concerns, or tire resistance? Making a scrambler actually off-road capable, those tires would probably be a compromise between pavement & dirt

I don’t care if I’ll never be able to afford it—the fact that someone like Murray is going to devote his full effort into making something like this is reason enough to celebrate.

I haven’t heard an RX-7 at speed, but I did hear this:

First of all, what unspeakable acts would I have to perform in order to have the Integrale?

“Well-used, 1970s vintage, suspension sags a little.”

“Jeremy Clarkson?”

So eX-Driver is pretty much confirmed, at least visually

Going to wash my NB, take some pictures at the last Monday Night Car Show of the season here in Chicago, and finish some posts I’m working on

I’m tempted to say the R34 Skyline GT-R in 2 Fast 2 Furious, but that wasn’t quite it. The first car I distinctly remember coveting was the Ferrari F430 Spyder, but I just thought the name sounded cool, and what little I knew about cars back then only told me that “Ferrari” was a Very Important Name.

“Ready to add some car payments to your crushing student loan debt, like a real adult?”

I remember reading about her passing, but I had no idea about her impact on racing and journalism. Thank you so much for this

So. Much. WANT.

That RS...damn.

I was teaching a friend stick in my NB just last night, and he said much the same as Paual did—it’s fun, and keeps him awake & focused. He also confirmed that last comment: he doesn’t have a stick because his mom borrows his car at times, and she can’t drive stick.
