I wanted one of these when they were new, but could never get past the hideous headlights. I seriously thought about buying one off-lease when they were in the low $30k range with less than 40k miles, but I couldn’t move past the headlights AND the detonating fuel pump thing. At $17.5k, this thing is still a good deal…

before you go nuts rebuilding the tranny, first check your clutch linkage, then the clutch. These trucks were built in the dark ages at Jeep,and the linkage is a known sore point for wearing out and costing you full stroke on the pivot arm. There are a lot of fixes out there for that. If that doesn’t fix it, pull the…

nice price.

and no argument with driving something small and fun. My argument revolves around the idea that the S3 isn’t about a fun small car. It’s about the 4 rings on the front. If someone wanted a small fun car, there are other options out there that cost lest. If someone wanted THAT small fun car, they should get it - as a…

why do dragons love tacos?

anyone who drives an A3 or an S3.

let’s get something straight: the Charger Scat Pack gives you 485 HP in a car with an actual usable truck for $40k, which is $2000 LESS than the opening cost of a 300 Hp Audi S3.

I have a hard time looking at military vehicles with white wall tires.

Ferraris should be brown.

immolating GT3?

IMS bearing.

you forgot to add that failure to worship at the high altar of the 911 makes you a heretic in their eyes, and you must be ridiculed, chastised, and summarily dismissed from further consideration.

huh. Here on the east coast, M3’s are largely bought bought by over privileged brats.

let’s be realistic: people like 911’s because they’re ‘exotic’ and you can buy pretty much any year of one ever and 99% of the people on the street wouldn’t know the model year if you held a gun to their heads. It’s easy to demand a premium for the old cars when they look passably identical to the new ones. In fact,…

a short while back, my wife’s car went in for service and they replaced a bad coolant sensor on the front of the motor. 14 hours later, the overheated on the side of the road and left her stranded. I ran home from work, got my wife and daughter home, and called AAA to take the car back to the dealer. While waiting, I…

no, the M4 was in a different situation. The Porsche slid on clear dry pavement like it was ice. no traction control, no ABS. Everyone hates electronic nannies until there’s a hydraulic lift gate coming though the window into your face.

I’m reading the headline.

you know, if it had been a lesser known person in an M4 that plowed his car over a curb and it was caught on video, he’d be crucified on this site without mercy or hesitation. Oh wait, that’s already happened. However, because this guy has an air of Jalop celebrity to him, and he’s in an overvalued car, he gets a…

a modern porsche would also have anti lock brakes. I did also note that it was driven by a jackass. If you want to talk about how cars that hang their engines out behind the rear axle can get even an experienced driver almost dead because of their handling characteristics, Hey I’m already there with you, but please go…

1) it’s a CAR. and it’s not a very good one.
