In DC I have to grab an Amsterdamn Falafel. 

Seconded for Tatsuya. I had a lot of Ramen in Chicago, and Tatsuya is better for sure. 

I’ll share my BBQ trick for Austin. Go to Corner Bar on Lamar on a Sunday. Spend $10 on beer at the bar and get a free ticket for a plate of BBQ at the truck outside. The truck is called Browns, and is (supposedly) Franklins old sous chef. Its damned good BBQ and sides with no wait. 

Truth.

Seconded. I put a new high flow cat on my Jeep and it made a world of difference under load

There are many municipalities that do! Places such as Chicago, Austin, Portland, and others have development standards that mandate affordable housing development. Some will delineate a percentage of units in a building, for example, that must be affordable (rent controlled) and some will delineate zoning areas that…

Very nice. They carried the denim into the Jeep lineup as well, and it worked pretty well. 

AMC knew how to make an interior. (And also how to make really bad ones, color wise)

AMC is having a bit of a moment again. They made quirky cars that never performed well, meaning they are cheap for swap projects. I saw a swapped Spirit the other day and its a super cool looking little car. Kinda want one now. 

I find the hardest part being that the parts are cheap, but the aftermarket presents so many options and upgrades i never go for the cheap ones. New shackle bushings? Great, $15 for a whole set of OEM rubber. Whats that? You’d like to buy something better than OEM? Cool, here are poly bushings with larger, greasable…

I think that the surveys are similar to the Neilson Studies where they send it to people who ask for it and therefore its not a true representation of the public. Its just people who enjoy their product enough/are bored enough to fill out the survey.

Personally, I think the pricing is what these kind of cars cost now. My guess is that your Mclarens and Ferarris are trading on namesake and exclusivity moreso than unobtainable tech (and much nicer interiors). The price of dual clutch transmissions, carbon fiber structures, complex metal stamping, and other fancy…

Its about time for supercar tech to start trickling down as well. Double clutch transmissions have been out for a while now, and mixed material structures are starting to become more commonplace. Its getting harder and harder to charge a premium for those things, and somebody like Tremec is certainly looking to get a…

I think you’d need to split the doors in half like jeep doors. Let the bottom half be an insert that was essentially a low beltline “door” that didnt open and you could climb over easy, while the gullwing portion was only attached to the roof. In the event of rollover you’re still screwed, but thats an inherent…

I think it could work, but you’d need to split the doors in half. The bottom half would be a fiberglass/steel insert that was low enough to get in over, but high enough to keep some rigidity in the frame, the gullwing would then be the top half of the door and the roof. This means you can then take the gullwing doors…

Fuck me it looks good in that brown

Nah they’re fine. The Jeeps drums are self-energizing, meaning that as you apply braking force the pads will increase drag against the wheel. They’re designed to do this in forward motion only, meaning reverse braking power is weak. With newly built drums (and properly seated shoes) my parking break can still only…

Depending on the age of the vehicle, or the design of the parking brake, it wont do a damn thing for you rolling backwards. My CJ7 has a parking brake, as its a manual, but it wont stop it rolling backwards at all. 

They’re taking a page from the video game industry and remastering the Gen 3 Camaro.

I think the 911 has moved into an area where people are willing to pay this sum for it because it is basically rich people lego. To a millionaire, who gives a shit about 10 grand, and this beauty here, in all its ruined paint and distraught interior, provides the ultimate before and after images to show your other…
