    2017 Nissan Rogue. Because it fits all my survival gear, HAM radios, guns and other weapons. I am not a car guy. If it is practical, I’m all over it!

    1962 Ferrari 250 GTO series 1 Now my obtainable dream car is a R32 GT-R Skyline and I'm thinking about buying one possibly in the next few years.

    I do love the look of the old Merc lead sleds. Especially with a nicely modified Flathead.

    Interesting how no one really says the typical new cars or a Bugatti/Lambo or some shit. They just don't make cars the way they used to. Maybe a 1968 Chevy Impala....they're beautiful cars too [view link]

    I love most cars. I grew up with 60 and 70 fords. I don't have a real brand loyalty but I've had Toyotas most 2 Supras, a AE86, and a 79 TE38 with a vintage swap. Also had a RX-7 that when I blow up the rotary swapped in the V8. But I love most cars that I see have potential new and old.

    I have a 1972 Roadrunner that doesn't run and drive a 2006 BMW X5. But I love old cars. I'm not into new ones too much. The one new car I really love though is the Dodge Challenger. Lots of strippers have those...a few of my bitches do.

    100% self-driving Mercedes SUV with a panoramic sunroof, multi-adjustable memory leather seats, sophisticated climate control, a top of the line sound system with Harman Kardon speakers and a safety system that instantaneously fills the car with high quality Brie to cushion you in the event of a collision (a supply of crackers in the glove box).

    I also used to have a 92 Supra. One of my cars is a Honda S2000 in museum condition and has a cult following. Dream car would probably be new Acura NSX.

    @IceyLoco Agree. Love that motorcycle. Too bad if we ever meet I probably won't be able to hear y’all because I'm half deaf from riding around with damn loud race exhaust and no earplugs. If I spontaneously disappear know that I had an insane amount of fun becoming road kill. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I rode one from LA to Roswell New Mexico once. One of the best road trips I ever took. My dream was to take it across the country but then thought about the weather in some parts...

    FIAT Nuevo 500 [view link] Not so many 2dr cars made anymore. And even the small cars have gotten to big and heavy. These have a 1.4L Mazda engine. SJG

    You're right, I haven't noticed it much, but 2 door cars aren't that popular anymore. I kinda like them.

    Honda - Acura is still strong there. But they put the engine on the wrong side. BMW and MBZ still make some two doors. But most everyone else has very few, just some special models, Corvette, Mustang, Cadillac CTS, Camaro, Challenger. But Fiat Nuevo 500 and Mini-Cooper can still be two door. For high end two doors, probably MBZ and BMW. Like check out MBZ C-class. SJG

    That's nice... the computer screen and stuff remind me of a Tesla... But to me, new cars just don't feel like old ones. The engine, just the feeling like you're in a tank...Check this out [view link]

    Sorry, never a real fan of live axle or pushrod automobiles. And big bombs, they just seem like a senseless use of gasoline. I like this. Not turbo, but high pressure direct injection to get 100 hp per liter. [view link] SJG

    The look and quality of the parts more than anything. They just don't build cars like that anymore. Union made, American steel... last for 50 years...

    Most cars can be made to last that long if you want them to. Just look at those big brown UPS trucks. Those must have millions and millions of miles on them. Here, lets look at the Subaru version, is it different? [view link] Because of the opposed engine, and it being pulled back quite a bit for weight distribution and low yaw and pitch inertia, these cars have really low grill and hood lines. 2nd gen, may move from Subaru to Toyota platform. I do not want all wheel drive. Cars too heavy to start with and AWD doubles the number of CV joints and booties. [view link] SJG Sammy Hagar, like this song's opening and the album cover [view link]

    I think yellow is one of the best colors for cars like that. Like a yellow 1996 Lamborghini Diablo

    I like the kind with the roll off top. Maybe they call it a targa. The vehicle is designed such that it really works well. High slope to windshield and very narrow roof, so the top is not very big. Goes nice on rear deck. Looks nice. Roll down rear window too. [view link] Much nicer than a Countach, in my opinion.

    As I know, all the subsequent Lamborginis have been like Diablo, not like Countach. Difficult to do a good job designing a targa top. One of the reasons it works for them is that they have lots of tire width, so lots of fender width, but a very small roof width, and so the side windows are very slopped. Looks great, if you want to make a car rich extremists. SJG

    I put 1948 coz that's in the link for the car. Regardless, its absolutely beautiful. And old cars aren't even that expensive if you fix them up yourself. Cheaper than a new car. But I'm getting tempted to buy like a 2015 or 2016 Challenger.... they're decently priced now.

    But the cars it is pitched against cost more, most of them. I saw one, white, 4rd, at a traffic light yesterday. Looked good, rear of car is distinctive. Are the vents behind the front wheels real? General Motors has a long history of fake vents. Like to see under the hood, and the underside too. Want to see that direct fuel injection, usually has to be on valve timing train. But it works, more power, more freedom in valve timing. Do the intake and exhaust cams really have separate timing control? Weights and springs? Full electronic. On BMW it has worked by duty cycle valves, using lubrication oil pressure to change cam timing. Similar to how light aircraft change prop pitch. And then the AWD. Don't really like that, but want to see how it works. Haynes service manuals pretty good. But translated Japanese manuals, like Nissan and Toyota, awesome. Manuals so good, worth it to buy the car. I still want 2dr Coupe version of KIA Stinger. SJG Stephan Hoeller [view link]

    Zion SRT [view link] Roadtrek used to offer motorhome conversions on the full sized American vans. Today only GM still makes those. Now it seems to be all MBZ. And the above is the smallest and lowest priced. It comes gas V6. Good engine. But there is a great diesel offered transverse for that chassis. RoadTrek does not seem to offer it. Their Sprinter based models are diesel. But they are larger and RWD. FWD is good for small motorhomes as the floor is lower, so the roof can be lower, and this means better fuel economy. You can get diesel if you buy the vehicle from Dodge. You can even buy the cutaway chassis cab. Then build your own body, gracefully larger, and with less doors and windows, for nicer layout.

    I love the current Mustang body, and the entire car. But it is not an efficient or practical car. Just a poor man's Aston-Martin for conspicuous consumption of gasoline. But with this new Mach-E, okay to make the car, but please do not call it Mustang, cause that sounds like you intend it as a replacement. [view link] [view link] [view link] Ford wants to compete with Tesla and with the Porsche Taycan, fine. Just don't call it Mustang. Sit in a Ford Focus and look at its rear hatch space. Then do the same with a Mustang. It is a stupid car. RWD means the gas tank is under the trunk floor, big wheel wells, and that tunnel is so big at the transmission end that it eats all the foot space. But current standards, a Mustang is very impractical. If you want to stop making it, okay. Just don't corrupt the name by using it on something which is FWD or Electric. Used to be that you could get a Focus 2dr hatch. Great. Focus and Mustang can both have the I4 2.3L 350hp engine! Restore Focus 2dr hatch. Offer Mustang 2dr hatch, 4, 6, and 8 cylinder. Maybe Mustang 2 offered hatch, cause it was like Pinto. But other Mustangs have never been hatch. Hatch is like Maserati Khamsin, 2dr 2+2 RWD 4 cam 5L V8. [view link] Hatch allows easier loading, and with back set fold down it can take bigger stuff, like bicycles and furniture. [view link] Mustang is worth making into that today!

    CrazyJoe posted this awesome picture. [view link] But this car does not have dual overhead cams, variable valve timing, or independent rear suspension Let me look now again at Jaguar F-type, 2 seater. Hard top or convertible, I4, V6, or V8 at $100k 444/6,000 so this is R type with automatic transmission ^^^ this was AWD. Seem to offer only automatic transmissions Seems to be the high power one: F‑TYPE COUPE R Starting at $105,300 says 444 hp at 6000 rpm, automatic transmission. Not clear about all of this here.

    So Ford was going to supercharging maybe 15 years back, on Mustangs. Chrysler didn't go to supercharging until they went to the Hellcat and Demon versions. So a 444hp Jaguar is a "supercharged V8:, at $71k, and always seeming to be automatic transmission. Might not be that large of a displacement engine. F‑TYPE COUPE R, $105k, but not sure if they really offer this, web page strange. SJG "SING, SING, SING" BY BENNY GOODMAN [view link]

    Let me still look a little bit more at Mustang engines: 2.3L I4 310 @ 5,500rpm (93-octane fuel) (this had been 350hp when they were offering it in the Focus RX as well, and they drop it to 270hp for the Ranger pickup truck) 5.0 L V8 460 @ 7,000rpm (93-octane fuel) Mach 1 480 @ 7,000rpm (93-octane fuel) And Shelby GT500 5.2L V8 760 @ 7,000rpm (93-octane fuel) SJG Eric Clapton - Layla - Crossroads Guitar Festival 2004 [view link] Origins of the Ricks [view link] [view link] [view link] [view link] Taylor Swift didn't jump [view link]

    Before going on to a different make, let me spend some time with Ford pickup trucks, and starting with the Electric F-150, 4dr and I guess 1/2 ton.

    oh, another SJG resurrection... Am I the only one that's actually really ignoring him? would you guys quit replying to him? I keep seeing it and can't put it in context until I see the library references... Anyways, back on subject... '64 Shelby Cobra. The AC roadster version, not one of the mustangs. But really, these days I'm getting too damned old and like my comforts. So I think I just need to get a Tesla and be done. Heated seats, traction control, and auto pilot. and porn on the big screen built into the dash. Do you guys remember that A/C (i.e. air conditioning, not the british car company being the aluminum cobra bodies) wasn't available in most cars until like 1980 or so? Ya, they started air conditioning the cars and everyone stopped liking them? Tesla's faster than the Shelby anyways, in just about every way...

    oh, and electronic ignition. Not in the Tesla, but pretty hot shit stuff in the '80's that goes underappreciated until you own a car without it. (when's the last time you set points?)

    Electric cars can have extreme acceleration. I have set my share of ignition points. I even decided to put a distributor drive gear in differently, so that the distributor would be rotated a different way. Then I retailored the vacuum hoses and the ignition wires. My way looked nicer and it was easier to work on. And I looked at the cam shaft to make sure that I did not get it set to fire at the top of the intake cycle. I put a valve timing belt on correctly after seeing that I had bought the used car with it 2 teeth off. The car wanted to idle faster and it had vastly more power and top speed on very steep hills. Previously it would have these power collapses on the freeway, seemingly emptying out the float tank because it drew fuel so fast that the electric pump could not keep up. After I fixed the valve timing, and the ignition timing, it worked great. What I don't like on the new cars are the stupid air bags! SJG

    Okay so the V8 Mustangs with a manual transmission are all 6 speed with Rev Matching, except for the Shelby GT500 which is 7 speed. The Mustang GT, 460 @ 7,000rpm (93-octane fuel), would be just fine for me. I am a conservative driver. I don't need a lot of power. The reason I don't like 300/Charger/Challenger is that they are too big, and most of them especially the 300, do not have turbo charged engines. They are just not good designs not any more. Too big of an engine means too much gas being burned up at stop lights. Mustang GT Fastback, Starting at $36,285 1 EPA-Est. MPG 15 City / 24 HWY 2 I just wish they would make it a hatch back, so it is more like Maserati Khamsin. [view link] Can't have everything.

    Because the keep making Series 3 bigger and heavier and heavier, and they have already eliminated 2dr, BMW M2, the special limited edition [view link] $58k available 444 hp standard Adaptive M Suspension, limited-slip differential, and high-performance tires. ( I want any adaptive suspension to have an off switch, and preferably to be left off of the vehicle entirely. I want maximally hard ordinary suspension. ) This compact coupe is packed with a 3.0-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine that can reach a top speed of 174 mph and a standard 6-speed manual transmission. ( 6 speed manual transmission! FIAT was stupid to let the Abarth 500 go down to 5 speeds. And of course I will never try to drive it anything anywheres close to 174mph, but that number gives you some idea of what the RPM will be at 65mph.)

    ^^^^ BMW M2 offers a zero cost option of: " The M Sport brakes’ large discs and larger brake pads provide excellent fade resistance and more stopping power. The M logo is displayed on the fixed red calipers for a sporty look. " In my opionion you want to avoid "metal brakes" or even "semi-metal brakes" These destroy the rotors. Though probably all cars sold today have at least "semi-metal" brakes. But you might be able to change them back to organic brakes yourself. Having metal in the brakes gets the heat out faster. Need these for hard gas pedal to brake pedal driving, using the engine to heat up the brakes. I used to drive that way, but I don't anymore. SJG

    2.5L turbo I4 ( vastly more power per liter than most of the recent US made vehicles. Means using less gas at stop lights, but when you step on the pedal, it can really go.) 8 speed dual wet clutch (means it is a manual transmission but shifted by a robot. This will equal or exceed anything on the road ) [view link] FWD wins, in weight, cabin room, and trunk room. If Stellantis (FIAT/CHRYSLER/PSA) made this they could badge it as Citroen. It is that good looking. Or as Peugeot, or as Lancia, or as Chrysler. Americans want SUV's? Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Camry and its Lexus versions sell.

Compression ratio 13.0 : 1 13.0 : 1 10.5 : 1 Says this used direct fuel injection, meaning it is high pressure engine valve train driven, just like for example Scion/Subaru FRS? maybe it can be 8 speed automatic OR 8 speed auto shited dual clutch paddle shifters A very aggressive company, wants to compete!

    So I had thought that at 290hp from 2.5Liters the Hyundai Sonata would have to be turbo charged. But no, it seems to be just direct high pressure injection. That is even more exciting! It is like the Subaru Scion FRS 2.0Liters -> 200hp. Turbo chargers spin up real fast and they do wear out. NO, I Stand corrected, to get to 290hp it does have to be the turbo charged model. But it is direct injection. Specs: [view link] 14.8 gallon fuel tank The dual clutch thing is wet clutch. And the power steering is motor driven, which I think means electric.
