Phyrox Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 The most insane RX-7 on the road today. Looks like a rich kid just trying to annoy his neighbors to me. Quote
dizman Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Looks like a rich kid just trying to annoy his neighbors to me. Looks like a fun little hot rod to me, though the stickers annoy me for reasons I can't explain. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Looks like a rich kid just trying to annoy his neighbors to me. I've noticed, it's the spoiled kids who don't get an allowance anymore who do stuff like this. A lot of the local guys I know with half-cocked, stupid-loud setups like that, were spoiled as kids. None of the spoiled kids have anything remotely reasonable. Looks like a fun little hot rod to me, though the stickers annoy me for reasons I can't explain. Hipster millennials. Quote
vlenhoff Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 the light was perfect for the macross logo, too bad the car is filthy... Quote
Duke Togo Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Filthy? Oh, come on now. I live outside of Pittsburgh, and we've got sand, brine, and salt all over the roads pretty much 24/7. That's filthy. In comparison, your car is pretty much showroom, lol. I was forced to take my car to a touchless car wash last week because it came down to leaving this crap to sit on my car or risk having the sealant stripped off my car by chemicals the car wash uses to hose down the car. And you really don't want to leave this shite to sit on the car; brine is especially no bueno. Quote
vlenhoff Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks AgentOne, and I know what you mean Duke. I try to hose off my car as well. I've lived in coastal areas in the past. Thanks for the showroom comment, but you you can see the dull reflections due to the dirt. She needs at least 2 hours of TLC. Quote
Shadow Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Ohio winters and more specifically, the salt and poor road conditions every spring did quite a number on the undercarriage of my previous car (a Cavalier). It was a structural disaster waiting to happen by the time I got rid of it. Quote

It was a structural disaster waiting to happen by the time I got rid of it. It's the brine. It's so highly corrosive. There are a ton of articles about it online. Sure, it's brilliant at melting ice (and keeping it away), but it destroys both cars and the roads they travel on. Quote
vlenhoff Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Wow, I stand corrected... Anyway, anyone watch the new Top Gear episode on Sunday? Quote
Vifam7 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Wow, I stand corrected... Anyway, anyone watch the new Top Gear episode on Sunday? I saw it. The race in St. Petersburg could've been so much more interesting and exciting. Yet it was rather boring. The older race to Heathrow was so much more better. Quote
areaseven Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 This has to hurt, no matter how you see it. Hundreds of Luxury Land Rovers Salvaged from Capsized Transporter Ship Could be Scrapped Quote

SchizophrenicMC Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 This has to hurt, no matter how you see it. Hundreds of Luxury Land Rovers Salvaged from Capsized Transporter Ship Could be Scrapped Sheesh. If they're set on scrapping them, sell one to me for scrap value. I won't sue. Promise. Quote
areaseven Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 At least this makes more sense than that X-Men crossover. Quote
Agent ONE Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 At least this makes more sense than that X-Men crossover. Good for Pierce! Love that ad. Quote

areaseven Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 Here's the track version of the new Mustang Shelby GT350. Under the hood is a new flat-plane 5.2 liter DOHC V8. Other upgrades include an aggressive body kit, 19" carbon fiber wheels, and a 52 lb. body weight reduction. 2016 Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Forget the Mustang, check this news out: I'm actually nursing a semi right now. Quote
dizman Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Pretty cool they are going global with this one, maybe it will poke subaru so they don't fall asleep with the evo gone. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 It's more powerful than either the STi or the Evo, and it technically has a more advanced AWD system. Plus, if it handles anywhere near as well as the ST, it will offer a very competent platform for going quickly. I'm hopeful. Quote
Shadow Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 With the Evo production ending, this is welcome news. Something that will make VW and Subaru shutter. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 In America you see them everywhere because, while they're arguably junk, they're cheap junk that everyone can buy. In other countries, you only see them because an enthusiast wanted it badly enough. And that's pretty special. Plus there's something amazingly juxtaposed about an enormous American V8-powered car in little Japan. Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 That is a very interesting RS focus. Thanks for the info... Quote
ron5864 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 When its time to retire my 1st gen Mazdaspeed3, the Focus RS is going to be on my watch list. I think the cost will be similar to the now discontinued Subaru STi hatchback. Hopefully Mazda will release the new 2017 Mazdaspeed3 with awd at around the same time. Quote

I haven't cared for the direction Mazda has taken the 3. With the 1st-gen, it was the sportier alternative to the Corolla and Civic but the car has been upscaled to a point of being out of the reasonably priced compact line. The Focus RS will certainly be on my watchlist, especially if the price starts under 30k. Quote
