@Roberto G.: Once again, Carroll is just chasing after Ferrari's coattails. What's old is new again.

When is one of the Big 3 going to come up with a Tejano edition... you know, louvered crewcab windows, fender flares, 5 whip aerials, positive offset wheels, family name on windshield in Old English script?

This topic is like taking A rod to a T ball game. What do you THINK jalops will say, oh gee, i have no idea.

@ponytuner: my professor of political theory when i was in grad school worked on the Chrysler line to get $ while he was in grad school. He'd read these incredibly dense theory texts (Lukacs, Gramsci, etc) 45 sec at a time between tasks on the line. WOW.

@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: watch you don't hit your skull on that cage. which could happen easily in a wreck.

@TheChefe: i hate the use of "torques" as a term. I know topgear (well, clarkson) does it, but it drives me nutssssss.

@alan505: where'd they find pepboys wheels in 5x130?

@LoganSix: ugh, cary. maybe he was trying to escape to durham.

@imiss2xwishbones: turbine=turbo, and you'd hope the clouds of diesel smoke would tell you it's not a turbine.

he is not babying the shifts, either, which is great. I'm sick of watching roadrace guys slowly grab a gear. Endurance be damned, rip that shift!

@dmcshinobi: that's cotd right there, i don't care who you are.

am i the only one who thinks these things look like Pep Boys bullshit? i must be.

who cuts up a thing for this? horrible.

@ZomBeeRacer: get defensive about it, would you? Now tell me the z car doesn't look like a riff on an e type.

@ZomBeeRacer: what always strikes me about early japanese cars is just how derivative the styling was. could that thing be trying harder to be a giulia?

@VeeArrrSix: you kids and your "my charger only compresses air". Old turbos did the same too, whether blow thru or draw thru.

@Bad Juju and the Axle Tramps: ironically, those *belong* at a velodrome (not skidding through an 8 lane intersection cause, cool, no brakes!)

@Grackle: you have to know those wheels are some sort of JDM only treasure, like the guy who did the voice of Akira's cousin bought those wheels in 1994 from the heir to the Enkei fortune. Or something. They're fucking ugly. I do not understand JDM minutiae hobbyists. I agree, the rest of the car is pretty.

i prefer rotaries, but that is pretty neato.
