I’m still sad you killed it. Destroying that car felt like killing a unicorn. Sure, it was a old, beat up, unicorn with a chipped horn a broken leg, but it was still said to see it die.

I love this. Everyone else goes for red stitching, but blue is where it’s at.

Why is this not centered?

Yes, but imagine if all of them had been executed, their fans hunted down and killed, their memorabilia destroyed. This is more akin to Stalin erasing undesirables from photographs and newspaper articles - they’re dead, they’re erased from official records, and everyone who knew them or was there when they were in…

This sounds like an Audi R8 with two more cylinders and different badging.

Yes.

Did Honda learn nothing from the Acura beak-grille debacle?

I miss this engine bay. Whatever you do, don’t neglect the coolant hose located about here connecting to the firewall. It’s a pain in the ass to replace, but it’s worth it. I sold my ‘97 to a friend, and that hose was the only one I had not replaced before the sale. I checked it regularly to make sure it was holding…

When did SUVs stop coming with storage space? Isn’t that why people buy these things?

In the short and medium term, the massive input of Iranian oil and gas will further depress prices from where they are now. Current low prices are killing the Russian economy, which relies on expensive crude and natural gas…

This reminds me of the middle school goth phase most of my friends went through.

Paging Doug Demuro, paging Doug...

I remember that season! Man, I wonder if they’re available somewhere. I’d love to rewatch those shows.

This. Monster Garage really set things off, with Pimp My Ride, American Chopper, Overhaulin, and others following a few years later. It also helped make Jesse James mainstream, which is a sin, and set the stage for the chopper craze spawned a few years later by American Chopper.

Am I the only person who thinks suede interiors are dumb? They wear quickly and get dirty easily, and everywhere you touch leaves a ‘print’ in the suede. Also, wait a minute. Is that actually a suede gas pedal down there? The mind boggles.

Someone needs to write a series of epic Oppo posts...

No, they’re just channeling their inner Ferengi and selling to the highest bidder. Its not like money has been eliminated yet!
