I think it has to be a double-cab SR; not the extended cab.

That’s where I’m at now, too: I’ve sworn off them. I had to go through two engines and one transmission on that car, and when it started puffing smoke at startup again I was just done with it.

I loved Death Stranding, I thought it was a triumph of a game that tried something different and really succeeded at it. I thought the loneliness of the overworld was an amazing feature, and the ability to communicate with other players through building infrastructure — ‘bridges’, if you will — and leaving messages

Some of these cars you can just make. Slap a supercharger on a Falcon GT and you have a copy of The Last of the V8 Interceptors right there.

I feel like they should at least make a new game in-between releasing the original version and remaking it, but that’s just my arbitrary take.

I think, much like firearms, it’s incumbent upon parents to secure their keys and begin teaching their children about the dangers of cars from a young age. This assumes that it was the car of one of the parents of those kids.

I guarantee it does have connecting rod issues, as I have a box with two bent rods in my garage from an FA20 that died at 72,000 miles with no modifications, regular oil changes, and no track days.

Hah yeah, right when the factory warranty runs out. Hello WRX; goodbye connecting rods.

I love that he did exactly what O’Brien mentioned: he fulfilled the tough guy act in a Senate hearing.

There are so many complete R75/7 blocks out there that it’d be pretty cheap to find one and get it set up. Helps that all the supporting parts are still available.

...but built for whom?

Excellent handle, and I agree. 

I would replace my 911 with another 911 of a similar vintage.

I guarantee if I owned a 911 Turbo I’d just have “Carrera” on the back.

Downbadging is fun. I was really tempted to rebadge my WRX as an Impreza Sport when I owned it.

I did a quick search and you can get an actual 2007 Cayman S with roughly the same mileage, sans the questionable mods, for maybe a couple grand more. ND at this price; drop $5k and then maybe.

As I understand it, they have since ‘88.

I mean, as someone born in 1987 there’s truly a very unique shared cultural experience of people born from 1982 to 1988. Not quite old enough to relate to late-Gen-X pop culture...

Doesn’t the Goldwing have hydraulic stands and lean-over assist? Those are practically built for older riders.

A bunch of early millennials tried that sort of thing by calling themselves the “oregon trail generation” and it’s just as arbitrary and meaningless as any sort of generational description.
