YESSSSSSSSSSS. I still keep my eyes open for a set of LMs that I could throw on my Z32. So motorsport... So period... So classy... So expensive. Agh.

An E39 530i with the sport package (those wheels, the different seats, and the three spoke steering wheel) was, and still is, an absolutely wonderful car. Good lawd, that engine was sweet as honey, and even the automatic trans paired well with it. It wasn’t a dragster by any means, but it was a real pleasure to drive.…

If I ever buy a car with the sole intention of performing an LSx swap, it’ll be one of these. The E39 is the Mona Lisa of cars; beautifully unoffensive- every line just seems... right, even if it isn’t straight up sexy. E39 M5s have been calling to me for years, and prices were really getting down there for a while,…

I was probably about 10. Mom and dad weren’t home (sounds outrageous now, but Mom had no qualms about leaving me for a bit while she made a quick store run now and then- I did a fair bit of growing up during those times), and the 78 GMC “Royal Sierra” farm truck sitting out near the lower field (grew up on a small…

But here in the United States, we’ve got to kiss the asses of the rich and make sure that the laws work in their favor because:

My greyed out opinion doesn’t count for much ‘round these parts, but I’ve gotta admit... I liked it. Made me laugh pretty hard, actually. Thought maybe there is something wrong with me, so I showed it to my wife. She laughed even harder and said it made her really want a Hyundai. Not sure what to make of this,…

I get the sporty team ball pun, but does anyone recall when, not too long ago, there was an odd fascination with Toyota Previas on here? Some folks got it in their heads that it would be like an MR2 minivan, what with it being mid engine, RWD and all. Having grown up with one, I always grimaced when I saw comments…

I know I’m in the minority here, but I went with CP. Looking at the market and what these go for, the price is admittedly fine. If it were mine I’d hold to it and not let it go for a penny less. On the other hand, I’m of the opinion that the market itself for these trucks is overpriced in general. Not Jeep levels…

This seems like a PERFECT idea. I used to have an SRT-8 Magnum, and I enjoyed it, I guess, but a Hellcat version would be amazing. (Shameless plug... You’re welcome to read about my SRT ownership experience in my Kinja blog!) Having messed with these platforms a bit, though, I can tell you that Chrysler’s CAN-BUS…

Considering the amount of absolutely GAWD AWFUL driving I see on my I85 commute south of Atlanta each morning, I’m fine sharing the road with autonomous cars. Hell, at least computers will try to pay some attention to the road as opposed to sitting in the far left lane, bright lights on, and playing on a cell phone…

Kudos to those who suggested the Z32 and E39. I’ll throw the late 60s Challenger into the mix just because... Well, Dodge designers got kind of lazy and didn’t so much as rethink the original design as just copy it.

Obligatory:

Completely agree. Reminds me of when people take one car and try to do a homemade front end conversion that is completely incongruous with the rest of the design. “Hey dude. Let’s graft Celica headlights onto my NSX. That would look shweeeet.”

Just noticed your response after making essentially the same post. These laws have left so many new designs looking fat and bloated.

I’m in the “Love ‘em” camp, but I wonder how these hood designs will translate to production in light of European pedestrian safety standards? Laws are making it more and more difficult to produce sleek, low profile designs like this. Cars have essentially gotten uglier because some people can’t look both ways before…

Usually an overbore with correctly sized pistons would equate to more power. As for how far you can overbore, that depends on the engine. As newer engines have become lighter and begun making use of special cylinder coatings, cylinder walls are cast thinner by design. In the cases of engines that have, for example,…

A lot of people hate on the C5, but I’m a weirdo and actually think it looks better than the C6. Plus there’s the fact that now you can find really nice C5 Z06s for under twenty grand. On paper, 405 hp may not seem like a whole lot nowadays, but these things made the most of it. Used to work as a salesman and sold…

I’ll admit this would tempt me if I was into the idea of a track rat, but I’m not, and my natural inclination would be to fix this up so I could drive it on the street. I’ll also admit I’m pretty vain, and you know what makes me feel worse than driving a ragged out, ratty looking junk car? Driving a ragged out, ratty…

A turbo BRZ could be so easily produced, and there has been enough begging and pleading for one that, at this point, I’m pretty sure Subaru is purposefully trying to be a dick.

Ah. Another Subaru performance concept (the Viviz). It looks worse than previous WRX concepts, yet I’m sure it still looks absolutely nothing like what will actually go into production, just as has been the case with every other concept of this type that they’ve done.
