Ever since I found out the term was someone’s name I’ve been particular about it.

Shrapnel. Henry would appreciate it if you spell it right.

Am I the only one excited at the idea of Apaches and Vipers operating from the same flight deck? That must have made for some cool pictures.

I’m amazed they don’t offer a turbo on the Crosstrek, or a least the N/A 2.5L. The Impreza/Crosstrek is a 6 speed manual and some more power away from being awesome.

IIRC, they had to be ordered by prospective customers from the factory - there was no scheduled run for dealer inventory. I imagine everyone who wanted one (and could afford it), bought one when they could.

God I wish Mercedes would make that mistake again.

The interesting thing is that this package was considered a great success in product differentiation in the halls of GM: http://autosofinterest.com/2012/10/31/gue…

A success. Boy, GM was a weird place in the ‘80s.

...and what happened to whatever it hit.

Sweet, it has nav!

I feel like it’s been a month or two. Maybe all of the failure prone parts have been replaced?

This. 4 cylinder Accord is best Accord. Even the SOHC 2.2L engines from the mid ‘90s were great motors, especially if you got the VTEC ones in the EX.

It’s not half bad in Sport mode, but even then you have to drive it with big, aggressive throttle motions to keep it in the right gear. And under most circumstances, Sport mode keeps the car out of 6th gear. I wish Sport mode was the normal shift logic and Sport mode is VW DSG-quick.

Yeah, you have to rev the piss out of the 2.0L to get the car moving with authority. Above 3500rpm it gets a decent growl and pulls well, but below that power is pretty weak. It kind of reminds me of a Honda in that regard. It’s pretty fuel efficient, though. I get low to mid 30’s mpg wise except in bitterly cold…

f you must have the fastest Skittle on the road the Glut Orange, Viper Green, Vegas Yellow cars will carry a price of $59,900

Yum. I’m a wildberry fan though. The melon berry candy car would be delicious cool.

Keep in mind that this mission was not a targeted strike on an individual - it was a strike on a fixed HQ. Some asshole posted a picture bragging that he was at a headquarters. The Intelligence officers found it and probably ordered satellite pictures, drone surveillance, and/or electronic surveillance. That confirmed…

The E30 is a much simpler car, mechanically and electrically (no VANOS, simpler engine management system and emissions, simpler cabin electronics). For an occasional daily driver or weekend fun car, the older and simpler E30 will probably be easier to keep running in the long run.

I guess you missed the photo gallery link?
