Russia has a lot too lose other than a Mediterranean port if Syria falls into ISIS or Saudi Arabia’s hand. It could mean increased funding, weapons and men for the crazies in Chechnya and Dagestan, for starters.

Jeep Wrangler. It’s a body-on-frame 4x4 with solid axles front and rear and a longitudinal-mount engine and transmission. The engine tech is most definitely 21st-century but the rest of it is as classic as they come.

You just know that, given that this is at EWR and that UAL is in the shit for potentially corrupt dealings with the Port Authority, that this must be a metaphor, or a sign, or something.

Have a nice day... :)

Dude. It is not in Russia’s interest to see that region destabilized any more than we have already done. And believe me, we have made it a fucking mess. Syria might not be directly on Russia’s border, but it isn’t that far away either. Instability can spread quickly, insurgency spreads quickly, our Middle Eastern mess…

Well, my first car was a red P205 Gti, with the 1.9 l engine... It always had some (minor or major) bug to fix. But I loved every minute we spent together.

As a French, I just bursted out laughing seeing a badly modified Renault 9 on Jalopnik.

For those of you not acquainted with New York City’s subways firsthand, I recommend the video below for immediate viewing. It will put things into perspective.

I predict this does not move the needle for Tesla nearly as much as the Model 3 will. They need an “affordable” Tesla, stat!

Vehicular in the sense that DB Cooper jumped out of a 727 with $200,000 in cash and only a little bit of the dough has been recovered.

Fun Fact: Frank Beard lives down the street from me, and his property is called the “Top 40 Ranch”. Also, if you live within a half mile of his place, you can hear ZZ Top rehearsing before they go on tour.

In other words: this is almost certainly Bernie’s fault.

Bond only gets to ride in the passenger seat, but I’ve always liked Diana Rigg’s Cougar in the best Bond film, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Poor Tracy.

Bond drove an Alpine in Dr No. Maxwell Smart had a more powerful Tiger...

Not so much the movies as in the original novels: James Bond’s personal car was a supercharged Bentley 4.5 Litre.

Crack Pipe...the body kit and single side window thing arent that important to me. If I really wanted an RS Cosworth I would just buy one from Germany.....

Ngh this one is incredibly hard. Contrary to some folk’s views the external modifications are appropriate for the most part in the Merkur community. The engine is also quite appropriately built and if some of the pieces are to be believed, over built. Despite the extensive work it is simply not worth that much money.…

Average Russian is a LOT better now than under USSR. The living standard is way higher. In USSR, at best an average middle-class Russian could hope was to afford to buy a Lada car (one for lifetime usually), own lousy soviet consumer electronics, and spend a summer vacation at the Soviet Union resort in Black Sea, in…

In what fucking mindless fantasy does anyone foresee any type of conventional war with Russia?

...with more power and a Fiat badge.
