So how many people are watching the news wondering where the triangle's on this blast shields supports are? Won't this just flatten the cops standing on it if something blows up?

Well that won't happen since we all know explosives are illegal, and surely criminals can't get ahold of them.

Hello /o/ , Britbong here.
Is pic related really the best way to get from Orlando to Miami?
Was thinking about going to Florida for my 21st birthday, which is 18 months away. And would a Chebby Suburbiton be an appropriate choice to haul around 5 people and 2 or 3 weeks worth of luggage, including this possible trip?
Tldr: Pic related good way to get to Miami from Orlando or not, Chevy Suburban a good rental for the trip?

Turnpike ftw. And eventually it runs parallel with I-95 so you can hop on I-95 if you want to get into downtown MIA and the beach.
It's not that long of a drive or anything. Gas is cheap enough, get the Suburban of you want.
It's not long, its 4 hours of highway driving on the Florida turnpike
Be warned, people drive like assholes in south Florida
>>13968750
Why florida, go to the mountain west or a national park or something not that humid shithole

Where the FUCK where you when HONDA made this supercar?
lmao like a hybrid electric vehicle would ever be a supercar. it's a pigfat piece of shit a shedded 911 could destroy.
HSV is still superior
If it wasn't a hybrid and just had some turbo charged v-tec goodness it would be pretty sweet

Ready to work on the throttle bodies in my bike? You'll need to bring your own laptop.

Haven't lurked long enough to know if this is a bait, but I'll take it. Any good with basic bike wiring? I'll have to get a picture tomorrow. The last owner cut practically every useful wire (mainly everything running to and from the magneto) and now it only runs with a battery attached which drains in no time.

What went wrong?
>at 850 miles—the eight-inch center touch screen began malfunctioning because of contact with the surrounding trim panel. Adjusting the trim piece was a simple warranty fix, but other problems followed.

They didn't give a shit about cold weather engineering. Given most of these car swill never have to face or be driven in severe winter conditions, its understandable that GM would cut that corner

I'm glad. Hope this means the Montero Sport and a redesigned Pajero are coming up.
This always was the best Evolution.

How about you just not crash when you lose power steering?
Who gives a shit what motor trends awards? They're only good for the roadkill series.

Shitboxes are loved by /o/. We like to say they have character. We beat them to hell, and they somehow still go another 50k miles. When brand new with 4 miles on the odometer, we smugly donned these vehicles "econoboxes". But they matured, such as a fine wine does. They surived to 300k miles with minimal repairs. Just like a soldier earns the Purple Heart, our "econoboxes" earned their reputation as the "shitbox". There are a few cars that will always be known as great little shitboxes:...

I'm looking at a 88 Celica GT and I'm wondering how good the 3sfe engine is. 128k miles and has maintenance records.
Reliable, not very powerful
its a gutless, low power, oil drinking tank.
it will fucking last, but dont expect to get anything more than 100hp to the wheels.
it has the worst possible horse power torque curve, but it will get you there.
