Hopefully this oil cooler isn't actually hooked up to anything:



In addition to an oil leak waiting to happen, you get lovely airflow through the core when it's just sitting out there like that.

EVERY one of those I see is an RX-7 oil cooler (including this one). I suppose because they are that large stock, and being OEM on every '7 made, cheap(ish)

Fun fact that is also terrible car stuff.

Wikipedia posted:

Corinthian leather is a term coined by the advertising agency Bozell to describe the upholstery used in certain Chrysler luxury vehicles....

Despite the exotic origin suggested by the name "Corinthian leather", much of the leather used in Chrysler vehicles during the era originated from a supplier located outside Newark, New Jersey.

Yup. Possible king of the tramp drift, and the Renault-related engines mean people also look to there for tuning options.

I saw an absolutely pristine Typhoon here in Copenhagen a couple of weeks ago, probably the only one in the country. I can't imagine there being more than a handful in all of Europe.

My friends couldn't understand why I went all :aaa: over a "lovely old SUV", and they're car people, too.

But the Typhoon was from before they were really a thing, and certainly not of the same ilk as Cayennes etc.

It's cool because it's a Q-car, like a Lotus Carlton or AMG Hammer. People who know what it is know what it is, and awful lot of people are left in full "ok, what the hell is in that thing?" mode.

I'm sure whoever's riding in that thing would prefer to not to need a wheelchair and therefore have the ability to get in and out of a normal car, in order to not offend your automotive sensibilities.

Have you ever been in one, though? You could have a small dance party with all of that room!

Some Saudi Arabian family donated a bunch of money to the rehabilitative institute of Chicago to buy a bunch of them to move patients around in. I like them for their practicality.
