I wish I could participate, but I don't have the time.  Venturing on my own is great but lonely at times.  On my way back to the bubble from the center of the galaxy right now.  What a trip its been.  I'll get back to bounty hunting or doing some missions when I get back.  Might even buy a new ship.  Such a great

Nice and all, but he 1) shouldn’t have had a kid with no plan on how to support it and 2) shouldn’t make his gf/wife support them while he chases a fantasy. When me and my wife decided to have a kid we talked about the financial implications and if we were going to do daycare or do one income for a while. So far it’s

So because the motors act like a generator (which, they are... It all depends in if you drive the motor, or use the motor to drive... In other words if you use one motor to drive another motor, the driven motor is a generator...) you don’t have to replace pads at all. Right Elon. I wonder how many tesla owners are

I vote for Nissan 350z. Some people try to sell them for way more than they’re worth (saw a guy in Arkansas trying to sell a salvage 2003, 6mt with a terrible body kit for 7.5k. CP all day!) but if you look around you can find decent examples for around 5k. Sure, it’s the DE engine, but it is quite quick, they handle

And there’s only 2 post z32 cars...

1.90 for 87, about 2.50 for 93, in northeast Mississippi.  

My Z may not be jdm, but my hatch struts are gone.  I hold the (very heavy) hatch up with my head usually.  I need to change them, but I'm broke at the moment.  Or will be after paying insurance and mortgage!  I'll get around to it one of these days.  

I enjoy reading all your guys articles. Don’t care if it’s a man or woman writing, if I’m interested I’m interested. And cats? Love them. Especially black ones. Cats and cars rule. Keep up the good work ladies of jalopnik.

I love Z cars.  Ever since the 350z came out I wanted one, and bought an 05 about 4 or 5 years ago.  I love it.  Its loud, impractical, and so much fun to drive.  I don't care it's nearly stock and has a few miles, it makes me smile when I get in it.  The 370 is nice, but it's like the 300zx.  Not as simple and bare

I guess I’m one of the few who bought one in Tupelo.  So sad.  But I love my Focus ST! And my 350z.  Every car I've owned, from my first (87 Honda Accord LX-i) to my current (my ST and Z) have been manual.  Only the truck I inherited (98 Dakota) was an auto.  And I ended up rolling it.  Didn't want a sunroof but if

First thought I had.  After the travesty that was Colonial Marines I could care less about gearbox or randy pitchford.  Sorry, not sorry. 

Not much more power than an ST, and more drivetrain loss due to RWD. So about even with an ST in a straight line. Wonder how they’d compare in the corners.

I’ve owned nothing but Asian cars (aside from the Dakota I inherited, it was crap) until I bought my 14 focus st. It’s a seriously nice, cheap hot hatch. The doors closing feel better than the 328i a buddy used to own. The car runs and shifts as well as any Asian car I’ve been around. And the handling is pretty damn

I work in a corolla factory (Mississippi) and can confirm that while we are installing 280 some odd new robots for the new underbody, the chassis for the new corolla is not that different from the current car. The biggest reason for all the new robots is for having the option to also produce the Prius at the same

Why do people ruin perfectly good cars? A clutch under 50k, mauled fenders because of mexi-poke, and wanting to put (probably) cheap raceland coils on it. Crack pipe ALL day, and I’m a Nissan owner (350z). I’d give him maybe 8k for it. Those intakes are worse than stock as well... Its just mods because they think it

1987 Honda Accord LX-i. My mom got one new, and I fell in love with it. Charcoal grey, manual transmission. Pop up headlights! I ended up inheriting it as my first car, and I was a young idiot who knew nothing about how to maintain a vehicle. That car ran like a top no matter how hard I drove it, even if I nearly let

Neutral : the marketplace is dumb. So are the real people commercials. Can chevy just die already?

Hmm it’s not bad. Maybe a little overpriced but considering it is pretty much in untouched factory condition, and that makes it an almost impossible unicorn, I’d say nice price. Might try to talk him down in the real world, but I’d probably just pay it and enjoy it. It’s a 5 speed too, how can you beat that?

You must take care of your car...and your friend must not. or he/she got a lemon. My Altima served me well for a long time, and my girl has an 03 that has been pretty much trouble free for 200k miles. It is starting to get long in the tooth, i need to replace the control arm bushings, transmission needs a flush,

It's a possibility. Some people just drive the hell out of cars and don't think about the problems that can occur. Hers wasn't the first I saw that was falling apart, I still see them today. After this long I kind of expect most examples will be worse off than newer cars, but at the time hers wasnt that old. I
