I think to Tremek's point is we can all post old stuff over again, but what about something new? Which is what resulted in me doing a spin with the kids.

https://youtu.be/7qNhC6WQR_g The piece of poo poo, while in DRAG RACE mode with traction control off, can’t break the rears loose, and then when I eased off the brakes it just wanted to push through the front brakes and axle tramp like mad. The evolution of secretary pony cars is a sad one and man I4 Ecoboost sucks

It sounds so furious while barely moving. Gotta love 2-strokes. Somewhat Heroic posted:I got them from a specialty place called Land Cruiser Heaven, but another option that is popular among my crowd is Lseat.com and they seem to have a ton of patterns ready for a lot of cars. Yeah, looks like literally no one does anything for a Subaru, at least not one that's not the current generation. Red-headed stepchild. Re: burnouts - I don't remember if I posted the Crown Vic using up the used tires that came on the wheels I bought a couple years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZJvi40eyUE Uh, make that 6+ years ago? I did not realize I'd had the car that long. edit: the smoking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCXRSrIm3hg

That dude did not know how to properly drive a manual and holy poo poo the clutch in that car was slipped so much when he took off. I'm sure Subaru would change the clutch during each oil change

Took me longer than expected, but the cold wet weather made it perfect for the Miata: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8fIa0-Sh6Y It's my daily, so I didn't wanna eat up the tires, but nice to know it can melt some rubber.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE: https://youtu.be/FyrOkw5R0go Verdict: A 300c is maybe not your best choice for leaving stripes in the abandoned business park, but it’ll do in a pinch.  Token PSA: as always, never buy a rental car. This one came with a bonus vape bowl.

Orphan-dore/Insignia/Regal I picked up today.  This is the Holden RS-V spec with the 315 hp LGX V6, twinster AWD and hiperstrut dual axis front suspension (but not the Brembo's/adaptive suspension of the hatch-only VXR). No one wanted them - Holden guys don't want euros, euro guys don't want Holden and nobody wants wagons, but pretty much perfect family ride for me. Wheels are Konig Ampliforms, I've got to match the silver bumper "intake" surrounds. spleen merchant fucked around with this message at 10:28 on Feb 7, 2020 |

Yeah it's a nice car for sure, these Vauxhall/Opel/Holden/Chevrolet models are definitely some of the nicer looking cars on the road at the moment. They're just nice, clean design.

Because Americans want an Outback, not a carwagon apparently. Turns out, they didn't want a Buick Outback, either.  I looked into buying one and you could get nearly 10k off MSRP easily.

Believe it or not I was actually looking into these yesterday and the poo poo around the wheels can be removed and the side skirt and front bumper can be replaced with parts of the Regal GS. It's approximately 900% better looking.

The things that really make the mark are drat-the-torpedoes we're going to do it anyway stuff. Sometimes the biggest failures, too, but no one will remember that bland same-wagon you tried to make to capture some of the sales success the other brand was having with theirs.
