My dad had one of these supercharged Buicks. I drove it. It isn’t a sleeper for the same reason his Geo Metro isn’t a sleeper.

You know when you’re watching Friends with Benefits (because Post-N’Sync JT is fantastic, and Mila is always fantastic, thus, fantastic film) and Mila’s all like “New York is the greatest city in the world” and then later they go to LA and she’s all “Oh wow, LA is nice”, and you, the spectator, are just sitting over…

It’s not unreasonable to expect that, generically speaking, but look at Acura’s history. Of the luxury brands out there, I’d say the Honda -> Acura difference is a lot smaller than others (e.g. the difference between Toyota -> Lexus has always seemed pretty pronounced)

At the risk of being a total asshole, if you payed $45K for an Acura (NSX obviously excluded), I’d say you fell for the branding. Acuras are fine cars I suppose, but I’ve personally never thought of them as being better than a Honda. $45K buys a lot of car, but, since as far back as I can remember, Acura has never…

I imagine you are aware that Acura and Honda are the same company. If you aren’t, then now you know. If you were, that’s a strange issue to take...like, why would your Acura really feel any different? I wouldn’t expect, say, an Infiniti G35 to feel significantly different than a Maxima from the same year. I expect it…

(4 day old article but w/e)

Does “Fucking Losers” not work anymore?

I can’t wait to participate in the hustle and bustle of trench warfare!

Usually a fan Jason, but this article rubs me the wrong way. Clicking on a somewhat baited headline to listen to you humblebrag about all of the fast cars you’ve driven, followed by whining about your state’s traffic laws sucking...This is not a solid article. Thanks for listing off 8 cars that both have more power…

The rhythm is the bass, the bass is the treble, and the treble (shown in the video above) is just bad.

Yeah. G27 is on my list for sure

Lol, I thought Grid (the first one is the one I played...) wasn’t all that chill...The drifting was pretty easy, but things like their 24 hours of LeMans, was pretty challenging (with an Xbox controller anyway) IMO

Oh yeah, I’ve played Dirt 3 and Grid. Grid was more my pace, and I’ve only played Dirt like Split-screen. My buddy (who owns it) and I discovered Team mode on Saturday, and pretty much sat there for 4 hours playing it. I’m 27. I don’t play video games for 4 hours straight anymore. But that was damned fun, even if we…

Fair point. My tuning experience is all tarmac (and usually FR) based too (Thanks Fourza!)

Can you tune the cars in Dirt Rally? I hope so.

Counter-Counter-Counter-point

Counter-Point: Rotary Engines are cool, because the RX-7 FD is cool (this is a fact, not an opinion) and it had a rotary (also a fact). Cool by association.

Here you go. My Grandfather who, despite being in his 70's, is still a better wrencher than I could hope to be anytime soon taught me this one: You can link two box-end wrenches together for leverage...

80's Toyota gave us the AE86 Corolla, a FR with good balance, and a passable power-to-weight ratio. A cheap commuter car that’s fun to drive.

In the gaming world, the lack of G-force sensation is often referred to as being “Speed blind”. It’s why, despite playing Forza pretty frequently, I still regularly rear-end NPCs in front of me that are braking for a corner. I can’t feel the speed, so I don’t have access to the frame of reference I use to know when to…
