I need to know just exactly who/what/where/when/why/how a being/entity/corporation/person/LEO has access to, and control of, the vehicle’s black box log. (Tesla? yup. Driver? nope. ?)

Green - 1998 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport (wifey’s)

As a cigar smoker, I saw it immediately... before reading the headline.

Cracka-lac-tacular. If the engine work is on par with the awful intercooler install, there is no way this thing is worth the trouble. Short story: Broseph slapped on a too-big turbo and immediately fried the clutch. Sounds like he planned to rebuild the motor, but is obviously in far over his head.

Battery Shame is probably a better name for this app.

I dig the action and speed and balls-out character of this shot. One of my favorite desktop images. Perspective & composition are top-notch as well. Extra points for airborne air-cooled.

Decaf. ‘nuff said.

Dipshift.

When you are looking over your shoulder and expecting to back up, but you parked with the shifter in 1st... and you pop the clutch... happens to the best of us.

Ranchero... it’s a poor man’s El Camino.

Precisely... all ‘70's-80's era tech and fuel economy (or worse). There are so many Wrangler Unlimiteds around here used as commuter cars, but running massive aftermarket swamp monster tires... it’s just ridiculous. Oh, and bro-dozer Cummins coaly-rollers. Jeep-Ram is all that’s making money for FCA, and that is a…

More like, stock map is far too lean for hardcore driving; it’s made for EPA tests and daily commutes with occasional launches and brief periods of spirited road driving. Track map would flow a lot more fuel for all that hot air.

Well... DUH. The hand brake is located on the left so you can power slide with the left hand, shift with right hand, and steer with your knees, or just ignore the steering wheel and steer with the throttle and handbrake, like a real automobile driver.

All hail the Vlatmobile!

That’s true, but Turbo Yoda says Aussie law would not allow them to put the V8 in a smaller vehicle. Seems there’s a displacement to gross vehicle weight rule. The grumper on this one is far better looking than the grumper on the original.

“The Coupe de Ville is not your ideal machine for high speed cornering in residential neighborhoods. The handling is very mushy… unlike the Red Shark, which had responded very nicely to situations requiring the quick fourwheel drift. But the Whale had a bad habit of cutting loose at the critical moment – had a…

Ditto.

This is not a BRAT, it’s a FART.

Monkey and Sabine are “relative unknowns outside the car world.” Guess so, but I was fans of theirs before I ever became aware of Ginger.
