That may be a fair criticism, but cars generally don’t become collectible, or even likable, because they’re reliable.

Nowadays that’s true, and I’d much rather have an M2. I’ll give it 6 months before someone puts that drivetrain into a Supra. But I’m unabashedly biased towards BMW and never really fawned over Supras. The subtle jab in that power comparison was that the Supra needed big turbos to make the same power as an NA BMW of…

They did actually make a V5 in the 90's(?). I think it was just a VR6 with one cylinder chopped off (?).

Fun stats about the 4th gen Supra and E36 M3 (from wikipedia, don’t slay me):

Almost true, except the Carlton had a 6-speed.

Big windows.

Those seats even look like they are designed for someone weighing at least 400 lbs.

Emerging trend? This has been going on in Europe for at least a decade. But have you heard about those Apple iPod things? I have a feeling those are going to be huge!

One of those is a CLA, the other is an A-class sedan. And people give BMW a hard time for model proliferation.

NFS3 was great too. And holy crap, I just rewatched High Stakes, and I totally forgot they had the bit at the beginning where a “tuner” Civic tries to drag race against a 911 and blows up in smoke. Funny considering they’d be making Underground a few games later.

Hey, I learned to drive stick in one of these! ... at the age of 10. My grandfather owned it, and used it for some pretty heavy off-roading. From what I remember it never got stuck, or left us stranded, and could ford water up to the middle of its grille. But once we got back home? Wrench time. There was always…

Your take already provoked all the comments you were probably looking for, so I’ll just throw this in. The one-piece shifter/boot combos on M3's are pretty slick.

Since we’re going down memory lane, gather ‘round, kids, and feast your eyes on the intro to NFS2. It still blows my mind that they got their hands on a real Lamborghini Cala concept car and pitted it against a Jaguar XJ220. I’m pretty sure that McLaren F1 rolling through the leaves is stock footage from McLaren, but…

They’ll find a way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_water

Thanks for posting this! I need to tackle that exact area at the rear of my e30, and your idea of splitting the “L” crease into 2 pieces seems like a good one. The last part left for me is to overcome the mental barrier of starting the project.

I no longer have any care for any one-off Ferrari that isn’t the SP1/2.

Evo swap Cargo wagon, brah.

Wow, the 2020 Evoque cleans up nice! The previous one always felt too busy to me, with lots of sharp edges and visually separate elements. A bit of Velar-isation went a long way on this one.

What traction of the grass? The Impreza starts out on the same muddy trail as the truck. The truck keeps slipping when it gets to the exact spot where the Impreza started.
