Fun piece. Tav, I really wish people would stop claiming your articles are bad advice like they’re performing some sort of public service. Folks, people who have 50k+ to burn on a fun car are not so foolish as to buy something like this without doing any research, and if they were, this posturing and harrumphing in…

I don’t think BMW has the guts to make this car what it really needs to be: a better car than the Mustang GT350R. If it gets produced, and it’s anywhere close, it will cost a minimum of 30k more, and will not be faster in any appreciable way. I am already gleefully imagining the journo comparos. Having said all that,…

Ended up building the exact same package. Looks bad as hell. Yes please.

Thank you for your humanity and empathy. - a motorcyclist

There goes the neighborhood. Great racing is about personalities as much as anything else, and making it impossible for these drivers to express themselves will continue to marginalize IndyCar as a “WTF is that?” sport for Americans. Super job, IndyCar. Way to show the world you have no idea how to market your sport.…

I mean, that job takes 8 hours according to the article. Which is a Saturday. Sounds like a major job, but nothing to be scared of. There are things on a Miata that take 8 hours but I still do them.

Here’s a $250 Bosch alternator for e39 5-series cars. 2 hours isn’t that bad. Special tools are a pain, but thems the breaks if you want a car like this. Doesn’t justify dumping money to let someone else do all the work. Everything starts at $1,000? no offense but I’m not seeing it.

Every time there’s an older luxury car on NPCP people whip themselves into a lather about expensive repairs. Unless we’re talking about expensive PARTS, I don’t see the issue. Do it yourself. There is no other way to own an older luxury car. Either you do the work yourself, or you have an ace mechanic who is honest…

Seriously, why are all the NP/CP threads these days replete with people raving about expensive repairs? Where are the shade-tree mechanics? No one touches my car but me, and I realize that’s extreme, but I just find it weird that people seem so averse to turning a wrench around here. There’s no way in hell I could…

Thanks!

Just saw this, dang. Where are these posted so I can catch the next one?

Living in Chicago, I must agree. Also, I’d sell off both the current and sidelined powerplants and LS1 this little guy. It’s nice, but with that many miles, it’s no museum piece, so you may as well. Unless you’re reeaaallly into those BMW sixes.

CP. I actually really love the C3 body style, but you can get so much more car for 6k that you’d have to be a C3 fanatic with lots of parts lying around for this to be any kind of deal. Most gearheads are not going to be able to leave the motor/tranny alone since it’s one of the worst combos GM has put in a car in the…

There it is. Well done.

Yup, you just can't keep privileged, wealthy, white men down! Plucky little SOBs!

Essentially, the rider making the pass has the most responsibility to make sure the pass is executed safely. If Marquez was trying to go around the outside of Rossi on that left-hander, he should have taken a wider line. He probably meant to do just that, but instead got too close to Rossi, touched wheels, and went…

Yep. MM93 has some pretty ludicrous abilities. He and that Honda are a match made in heaven. It's a dominating bike, but only comes 100% alive when he's riding it, or Pedrosa on a really good day. Marc is more consistent as we saw with his ten straight wins last season. I have to say though, I'm looking forward…

I love Kevin Schwantz, but at the MotoGP race proved yesterday, this track is a bit of snooze if you're watching at home. It doesn't flow very well and has much more of a "point and shoot" kind of rhythm. It works very well for bikes with a horsepower advantage, less so for bikes that prioritize handling. That's…

All the custom recipes people are putting forth are hilarious. Guys, Mazda needs to sell Miatas to normal people before we can have our fun. If you must have specs x, y and z, the solution is simple: buy an NA and build it. Or lurk the classifieds on the miata forums until one comes up for sale that already has…

Well, this won't be popular, but good riddance. The way he plays the victim after saying and doing horrible things is unacceptable. The racist comments are unacceptable. The assault of a producer is unacceptable. I really don't care what else he does or how beloved the show is. I don't. His behavior isn't ok and…
