@Markstre302: Hey man! That's cool! I don't have any problem with the fact that you did that, in fact, I'd do it myself. Don't assume I'm some kind of killjoy. Assuming things about people is a real drag! Read more

Gumball 3000: Because nothing says irresponsible rich Western douchebag like pandering to an abusive totalitarian dictatorship. Entries are limited, so jump on the backs of the proletariat today! Read more
@MarionCobretti: The Starquest may be better looking than the 944 but it's also slower. The 944 engine is one of the biggest 4 cylinders gas engines ever in mass production, it's basically one half of the 928 engine's block. A well built 944 Turbo can lay down way more than a built Starquest. The G54B just doesn't… Read more

Didn't anybody tell them the door handles don't line up? Read more
@Ray Wert Jr: If we're going to call an event the Jalopness, what are the other two races that make up the Triple Crown? Obvs the trophy features 3 Toyopet Crown's in full hoon. Read more
My mom for a while in the late 80s had a late 70s RWD Corolla sport coupe in white with a tan vinyl interior, four on the floor, and a CB installed in the center console. It had been her older brother's car. I loved that car. I was the oldest child so I got to ride in the passenger seat, help shift the gears and… Read more
@PlatformHoon: Also, I mentioned the quasiturbine in my post. ;-) Read more
@PlatformHoon: Oh, I know about the Twincharging, but VW is using an Otto-cycle engine there AFAIK. I'm saying they should go one further and use that setup on a Miller-cycle engine. Read more
You gotta hand it to Mazda, they're willing to go out on just about every engine limb. I wouldn't be surprised if they've got people working on a quasiturbine for the new Eunos Cosmo right now. Read more
@Drive-thru: The last Peking-to-Paris race was won by a Willys Jeep, but there's no Willys entry this year. The Rovers should do well, but my eye is on the 2 Beetles. They're known to be a bit more reliable than Rovers. The only thing they don't have going for them is the ground clearance of a 4x4, but as every… Read more
@CafeRacer1200: Best part of that story is the phrase "so that when the police chased us". Read more
@Shapeshifter: Thanks for that YouTube link, it led to the clip from Hot Metal I was looking for: Z Car shootout. Read more
Have you heard the new M Division record? It's like Kraftwerk on Quaaludes man. Read more
@cshontz: Your story ties into my "always honk" rule. See, some time ago I noticed that when I saw a driver do something stupid, every time I gave him the benefit of the doubt and withheld a good honk, I'd see the same driver make another mistake just moments later. I've since made it a personal rule to always honk… Read more
