The cool thing about touring car racing is that it’s supposed to be actual road cars... this is basically a one make series since they’re using a spec drivetrain

Already done. LT1 roadmaster and BRZ rally car

We picked one up when they came out as a test vehicle at my work, so I’ve spent some good time behind the wheel. Definitely a nice place to be

I’m in the metro detroit area and there are a handful. I wanted the top trim (heated seats) and a not-boring color, luckily there was 1 that met the criteria

They all seem to be in the 26-28k range locally

you know it

... I’m buying a TourX today

My roadmaster just stopped running while I was driving through a snow storm in Ohio on the way to a friend’s wedding. Called AAA, had them tow me 95/100 miles to a uhaul so I could rent a truck and trailer to get it home.

Hey man if you ever need a hot shoe for some gravel I would definitely be up for writing a guest blog!!!

Auction is always the way to go. The crazy markups some importers put on cars is just ridiculous

In the previous recall, Kia instructed dealers to inspect the HECU for leaking brake fluid and to replace the unit if leaking brake fluid is found.

there are definitely some thermoplastics that would hold up a lot better to the heat

you don’t fix that with cops, you fix it with road design (narrow lanes, chicanes, whatever to slow drivers down). as soon as a cop isnt there people will still go as fast as the road allows

That’s some BS, it’s basically a rounding error to a company that large. I guess they only want to follow Monopoly rules when it’s in their benefit. Also you should ask Jalopnik to get you a press car to review

It’s not just the speed change, when the snow melts the roads get soft with water and absolutely destroyed by the cars going through. Finland typically doesn’t run gravel events in the spring for this reason, the roads are too soft when the snow melts

Safari literally comes from the WRC Safari Rally back in the day, where they would beef up the small cars to handle the insane road (some cars even went to the level of welding in 2 sets of floor skin!)

I feel I should point out that Williams Advanced Engineering is completely separate from the F1 side other than sharing a lunch room

A fine commuter car, surprisingly durable
