Seconded! Took my Miata for a Norwegian roadtrip some years ago and it was very well suited for local roads and local speed limits. Read more

I needed a set of tires for my first gen Neon, which also shares its tire size with the Citroen Xsara. A friend was offloading a vandalised Xsara, with two sets of tires, for the price of one set of tires. No-brainer really. I’ve been fixing up the Citroen for it to pass inspection, including swapping out the busted… Read more

I actually covered Finnish car (and parked car) culture for Hooniverse for years and years! Sadly most of the content I wrote has been lost due to site refreshes, but there was a huge bulk of Finnish car life reporting there for quite some time. I still write for the site sometimes. Read more

I spotted an identical, 300k km one on my workplace parking lot and I saw it advertised online earlier for 7500 Euros. That’s the price I really wanted to beat. Read more

I did in fact, but passable XC70s seemed to be double the price there and less easily sourced. For some reason UK is full of them under 2k. Read more

Shout-out to those totally awesome parrot socks.

It’s the same thing as having a song as your ringtone. You’re just gonna end up hating that song and associating it with “Ugh, I wonder who’s bugging me now”. Read more

I better not bother this person then

I specifically sold my E34 hundreds of miles south so I wouldn’t have to witness local idiots ruining it. It returned to the next town from here and got ruined by idiots. Read more

These don’t look  *too* bad, really. I guess it’s because they’re OEM, the offset seems to match reasonably well and the rest of the car is stock, with “carrot” indicators. Of course a set of 17" cross-spoke BBS on reasonable tires would suit it better, but you didn’t stray as much off the mark as you could have.

I was on a plane to Germany when all of this went down, and I kid you not, I read the entirety of The Hike on that plane ride. The news broke when I was on my way back, and I spent most of my December thinking “Welp, wonder what happened to him. Hope he’s actually not going to die. Maybe he’s a crab now.” I was hugely… Read more

If it originally came with the 2.6 Astron engine, then it’s always had a Hemi! Read more

It got a love letter from a parking warden! Read more

If nothing else, the original NA Miata was born with the engine from the four-wheel-drive 323 GTX, just without the turbo and different orientation. Read more

A gold wrap away from being a C-3Po with wheels. Read more

I’m thinking that’s not quite right. He did drive it to 1 million. He also took a Lexus that had 900k on the clock and let a bunch of people drive it as well as driving it himself, but it was Farah who drove it to 1,000,000.

It’s the old question about who truly fills the glass (or jug, or...) Read more

I want to say COTD. Read more

I first read it as “Cold foods” and thought – well, that’s not that special.

After realizing, I wondered how good that’s for your intestines... Read more
