TO VALHALLA!

This post of yours reminds me…

I realize it’s not a T87, but the 603 does have some competition cred. Gets spicy 5 minutes in.

Shit you not, this just appeared in the 6ix classifieds…$1,500 obo!

It’s very 2009. Read more

Wide tires, yes: 185/60r15s are a big upgrade, even with Michelin Defenders and mixed alloy/steel wheels. Read more

Why can't the government just mandate the automaker runs a random sample of, say, 5-10 customer cars with tamper-proof Automatic devices (https://www.automatic.com/) that track fuel economy over a week or two of real-world testing? That would at least provide a range between best and worst case scenarios. Read more

May have, but didn't. Wraith-turned PPG pace car, the Dodge M4S. ;)

YES. Someday maybe I'll write a piece on why these cars are so properly epic. Read more

DOT? No, man, they're just French. Read more

Also, "Autozam" as a nameplate. We need that, too. Read more
