Add that to the 250 lbs they cut when they released the current model a few years ago, and you have 700lbs.

Thing that makes my head explode more than the car, its headers, or its sound:

Holy crap I had no idea the iA was so blatantly a Mazda. I knew the chassis was, but they basically took the Mazda interior, slapped a couple Toyota badges over the Mazdas, and called it a day.

Actually I believe that one is the mid-trim. The center tach is definitely the top trim, because that’s the one that was in my 2017 3s-GT.

When you start a Mazda3 or (I assume) 6 cold, the temp idiot light is blue for the first few minutes indicating the obvious. After that it shuts off once the engine is up to temp. Effective, but I’d still like a gauge.

Yep. That was my one complaint about this dash in my now-totaled (not my doing) Mazda3. Otherwise, it’s a very efficient cluster.

That whole F’kin nest is filled with the high-falutin’ trash of our society, people with money, a lack of decent education, and all powered cynical animus and doctrinal short-sightedness. Goddamn walking freakin’ arguments in favor of the Estate Tax. There should be a Punchable Face of the Day calendar for this…

Dang, I was hoping it would go into more detail about the gear arrangement and those connecting rods for each shift. I’ll have to see if they did one on that on their channel. But thanks for posting this.

Eesh. A dealership selling this thing with a significant known problem? For $8k? Nope. I actually kind of liked the Blackwood, and they are truly a rare sight. But that interior...those Ford interiors that were just blobbish forms stacked on top of other blobbish forms, creating a sea of rubberized flabby plastic...…

The 747 is big, no doubt, but you’re amazed by it more so than some of the military rigs out there? The US and Russia have produced some stupendously massive air machines like the C-5M and the Antonov 2X series, respecitvely.

Because anything with those old RED diode digits automatically dates whatever they are affixed to.

Wit’ a litta bitta meata-ball!

I’d rock it with that paint, but the Italian colors only look awesome on the seats. Get rid of the exterior, door and dash stripes, and DEAR LORD go back to the old gauges. But overall the interior certainly looks better on quality and fit-n-finish than the car would have come from Ferrari’s production floor.

The front-mid distinction probably wouldn’t exist but for Audi’s insistence on putting its engines in a front-front orientation. 

A BMW E24 M6 with CROSS-LACE BBS wheels is peak 80s conspicuous consumption.

Gotta disagree. The RK is not necessarily ugly, it’s just far from their best.

I too would have little if any compunction over owning this car. I would if it were used directly for hiding/transporting Nazis or something, but clearly the guy had started harboring fascists well before he ever took delivery. And I’m guessing his daily duties running the state meant he had little time to enjoy it.

Fucking seriously, Dems?

The only screaming ever emanating from a Chevette is if the driver ever got the thing over 55 mph.

Really want to say CP because the late-gen 280ZX is my least favorite Z car, but also because $14k is a ton o’ cash for a chop-top modded car, and who knows how much stiffness was maintained.
