I think it was the other way around with the ferrari chasing the hummer. Plus the hummer has an advantage over the jumps and curbs and through fruit stands.

Still, I want to see like one car chase where every turn isn't a huge powerslide, which is a much slower way around a corner.

And I'd like to see a computer hacking scene where the intruder doesn't type a couple commands and owns an entire lan.

And my wife would like to see the actions of medical staff around a woman in labor following basic procedure.

Hey, the HMMWV has an impressive 0-50mph time of 24 seconds and can allegedly reach 70mph

On top of the initial brake stomp when I drive automatics, I also end up braking harder/later for the first couple minutes behind the wheel. Engine braking is wonderful

I like to think I'm hovering, but....
I picked up that habit when I was installing an amp in my Capri. I had a live, 0 gauge wire coming off the battery with no protection other than the plastic fuse holder, sitting on my dead pedal for like 3 weeks while I waited for new locks. And it kept raining
I wasn't going to finish my amp install when the trunk could be opened with just a finger, so I had a death-pedal instead of a dead pedal

Speaking of movie car chases, the one in Ride Along 2 is pretty excellent in a meta sort of way.

I'm sure I've seen images of him driving the better spinoffs from the Evolution range before, the RVR Hyper Sports Gear R and the Pajero Evolution, but as someone else mentioned he was sponsored by Mitsubishi so probably got to drive whatever he felt like.

they'd probably have a better following if they were RWD. unlike Mazda, Mitsubishi is kind of a joke but i've always thought that stuff ljke the FTO and GTO/3000gt/Stealth or wtfever its called was up there with the FD in terms of amazing 90s sportscar stylings

if long term ownership didn't seem like such a nightmare it'd be a neat car to daily.

That's Le Mans podium finishing team owner Jackie Chan to you.

Also one of his cars was the overall leader for a while until one of the LMP1 cars finally caught up in the final couple of hours.

I would drive a Delica like that (not necessarily a food truck, just the styling.)

Hey me too. It was my first car. 2 door 500XL with buckets and a console and the cool sloped rear roofline. It had a 289 with the cruise-o-matic that you could start off in second gear. I drove it for like 3 years until I got sick of dealing with old car stuff for a daily.

Found a picture of it. It came with those wheels and I hated them so much.

Galaxies are really rare here, but for the past 20 years I've always wanted an aussie 69-72 zc or zd fairlane (69-72 and they're only in 4dr though). I regret not buying one back then when you could get one for $5k, now they're 25k+ and unattainable to me, a 2 door galaxie is like $35k.
E One day I might get a 65 plymouth fury, (sold in Au as a dodge phoenix) they have stacked lights and seem way way cheaper, like 15k and I like them as well
