Lifted Dodge Ram Diesel. The shape of the truck reminds me of that one high school bully who had no neck. Plus they’re almost always lifted using the worst off the shelf lift kits, with the pumpkins just hanging down begging to be bashed by a rock, a desire that will never come true, as these things will literally…

The hood vents are from a 1979-1981 NA 280ZX. Have to wonder the thought process behind sourcing those (They’re hard to get) and splicing them into an AMG hood.

Yeah. Maybe he needs to learn that if you act like a piece of shit, you’ll be called a piece of shit.

I had a 1989 supercoupe, first year of the facelift. Had it about six months. in its day, it had been a technological tour-de-force, with electronically controlled dampers which could be put into comfort, normal and sport modes, adjustable ride height, and all electronic engine control. And it was a manual. Sadly,…

The closed headlights don’t sit flush for a very good reason. The S30, and S130 had the sugar scoop headlights. They’re central to the car’s design, and make an early Z instantly identifiable. So, notice how the Z31's headlights are flip up headlights, but still retain the ‘sugar scoop’ design aesthetic, though…

With the rise of hybrid drivetrains in endurance racing, LeMans returns to its original roots, though. Before it was the spectacle of prototypes that it is now, LeMans was envisioned as a race that could help automakers perfect technology for the road and make it more reliable and robust. I can’t remember, exactly,…

I think this is probably exactly right. This doesn’t just look like erratic driving. This looks like willfully erratic driving. The kind intended to cause other drivers to, while trying to adapt to the fact that he’s all over the road and the speedometer, accidentally hit him. I have to actually wonder, if his…

Modern emissions rules will mean air cooled automotive engines are a thing of the past. Air cooled engines have a higher combustion chamber temperature than water cooled engines, and that means more NOx emissions. You can counteract that by running rich, but that impacts fuel economy, increases tailpipe hydrocarbons…

A front wheel drive Conquest?! Inconceivable!

It might. Do you remember a few years ago when Hardees/Carl’s Jr. ran on an advertising campaign of “Our food is the most unhealthy, so stick it to them vegans!”? Might be the same thing. “3.9 MPG? Stigginit to the prius!”

I work for a body shop that is a Tesla approved repair center. I am not directly involved in ordering of parts, but I can tell you, what Tesla is saying, that it’s the body shop’s fault, is pure bullshit. The fact of the Tesla is, the VIN does not decode; Instead of being a standard number which can be used to deduce…

Yes it matters if you call them to voice your dissatisfaction. They have no idea how you voted. But senators are very responsive to how their constituents are feeling, and angry constituents blowing their phone off the hook will often change how they feel about something.

Soyuz 11 did not experience explosive decompression. It experienced a slow leak- rapid enough to kill the crew before they landed, but subtle enough that none of them knew it was happening.

That is a lot of the problem exactly, and explains why Americans are so selfish and have such an “I have mine, so F-you” attitude. They don’t see themselves as struggling to keep above water in their lot in life, they see themselves as “Temporarily Embarassed Millionaires” and so even the everage man on the street is…

These are iconic 4x4's of Australia. The Jeep is an iconic 4x4, but not really in Australia. If this was a US event, I could see it having the CJ-5, Wrangler, Scout and Landcruiser, as those vehicles were common and icons here, but the only one of them that’s really an icon in Oz culture is the landcruiser.

Anyone who’s driven a car without back glass knows that it does shield you from some wind. (And also from passing out due to huffing your exhaust.) That said, I fall into the ‘back window’ camp.

As a ZX driver, I gotta ask: did you ever drive a ZX? I'm genuinely curious. People hate on the car so hard, but the fact is, a 2 seater 280ZX weighs less than the 240Z, it has better torque numbers, a stiffer frame.. The suspension changed to semi-trailing arm, which is arguably not as good as the A-arm suspension of…

As a fellow beetle driver, best I can tell is that it's often used because stock-purists at places like The Samba insist upon it because it looks stock. That "VW Engineers picked that and they know more than you," ignoring that new, high pressure FI line works fine with a carb and lasts longer. I re-hosed my own bug…

This list is awful. Most of the cars on here are older, and while they don’t have the blistering 0-60 quickness of a modern supercar, most of these cars had very respectable times for the day. Like the prowler. Everyone loves to hate it, but 0-60 in under 6 seconds, in the mid 90s, was more than respectable.
