There was a hit and run (of a parked car not a person) outside my house a few years back. I was around the side of my house at the time and didn't see anything but heard the crash and the car take off. When the cops arrived I told them that I hadn't seen the offending vehicle but that they were looking for a Nissan or…

And the most important use of the Buick V8. Two of them to turn over the massive J-58's in the SR-71

What they've written isn't that you need to swap fluids and brakes, it's that the car uses brakes when you're not expecting to, so not only are you cooking your brakes before the corner, but also during the corner as you're accelerating away. That makes the job for these brakes particularly hard and it might not be…

Of course, it's a different story with the Black Series, but in standard trim, the SLS' tail happy nature and slow gearbox don't do it any favors on track.

Badging, in general, has gotten way out of hand. Bigger and bigger to the point of obnoxious. For example, the oversized Toyota grill badges look ridiculous as do the giant pointed star MB grill badges. I noticed the H badge on my Honda is twice the size of the last generation. Just make it stop. Make it stop now.

If he delivers on this shit, my next car should be perfectly timed to be a model 3. Right now with falling gas prices there has been a lot of anti tesla sentiment. My desire for a car with full torque from zero RPM and less mechanical parts splashed with a dose of fun hasn't abated one bit. I'm willing to admit that I…

If I was able to purchase a truck without four doors, leather, the Prerunner Package, in any color except white or black, I'd agree with you. But when you look at what's actually on the dealer's lots, the only work trucks have sticks and aren't even extended cabs, they're all maxed out to Status Symbol territory. Do…

The Avantime made it look good. That looks terrible, so it's a Megane.

The RWD Toyota Mark X would be an awesome and affordable addition to the Scion line up.

Sorry but are we really going to pretend they didn't already build a sedan? I don't care if it's got 2-doors. It's not a coupe. It's a sedan with 2-doors. It very much has an A, B, and C pillar. It's not a coupe. It's a shitty sedan with less practicality.

It's worse than Saturn, because at least at end of life, Saturn was the American Opel/Vauxhall. And many of those cars were significantly better than the class equivalent that was badged as a Chevy.

Scion Avantime anyone?

Just a thought: we all know mods don't add value, and sometimes even diminish the value of cars.

You know you would.

I don't give a shit if the headlights aren't round or if the engine is watercooled or not, what I see is a world class performance car you can drive every day for bargain prices. I am too much of a car guy to complain about a car like the 996 and that is the reason why its not unlikely that I will be able to call one…

I priced it out, and the LS retrofit is a few thousand more expensive than getting another used M96 engine. But it's worth it if you're keeping the car.

I turn a wrench. I have to. I own a Nissan Titan. But that 10 minute video leads me to one conclusion: pay to have this done. The "special" Porsche tool of which I counted at least one official and probably a couple more they forgot to mention says to me "drop off, pick up, profit".

There is a third solution: Ditch the Porsche engine and swap in an LS1.

I've operated a Terex boom-lift that was all-hydraulic and I can attest to the "doesn't need brakes" principle. Letting off the accelerator would stop you in short order. It had brakes, but they just weren't necessary (especially in a vehicle that tops out at around 20MPH).

The neat thing about hydraulic steering is…

Here's the thing. It's not that I have anything against Corvettes, or Jeeps, or Camaros (in fact I demonstrably love them), or that I really hate the color yellow.
