Haha. “A-Star” I think but the reference still made me want to rewatch. Read more

Agreed, not an “it” car. And had lukewarm reviews even when it was new. That’s why I got mine for $100. That said! in 2020, the design looks like an 8-bit alligator and is “quintessentially ’80s” to me. The Z32 is objectively superior and has aged nicely but for whatever reason I’m not quite as fond of the look. Read more

Hahaha. It is both, bizarrely. For ’84 only. Read more

Haha, yeah. The blandness of the Nissan VG engine is kind of a boon when “want to keep it alive without spending a lot of money” becomes a priority. Read more

I love my Scout and hope I never have to sell it, because I could never afford to get another one. Read more

If you’re into a Civic Si, this car isn’t for you. But... it’s way more comfortable. For people who care more about that than a great-shifting 6MT, this is a better way to go. Read more

The seats are super nice. Read more

Yeah, the comments are one of my favorite things about writing for this site. It’s a big part of the value proposition for non-commenting readers too, people who are thinking about buying one of these get the main rundown and then many more perspectives. Read more

Yeah, three pedals doesn’t have to be everyone’s preference! I like my atx Montero too. Read more

It’s more fun to some people, including me. Wheeling doesn’t need to be about optimization or ease-of-use. It’s an inherently illogical hobby, after all! Read more

Thanks again for the insights, DS! Read more

Haha, yeah that’s a weird phrase. But what they meant was, like, a red/blue hot/cold knob as opposed to something you can set to XXºF. Read more

Option package pricing “closer to launch,” was all I could learn. I don’t think it will be $10,000... maybe more like... $3,999. Could be even less, really. FX4 is only a couple grand on some Rangers and F-Series models. Read more

What’s the most recent EcoBoost engine you had bad luck with? Ford’s pretty much committed to those engines in its trucks at this point, so I’d like to think it’s got the kinks worked out at this point. Read more

Update, it arrived from Amazon Japan! It’s smaller than I expected but adorable.

I buy them by the truckload. (Not really.) (But I do use/lose a lot of them.) Read more

If that Bill Pullman quote doesn’t get you fired up, try this:

Oh man, good intel. Yeah I wouldn’t imagine “retightening!” would last forever. Honestly, at this point I just need the machine in one piece for shipping/running enough to get onto a trailer. Read more

This tip changed my life! Haha. Read more

Yeah, I agree. Manual seats all the way. Read more
