The Nissan Z Gt4 Is A Proper Racecar You Ll Actually Be Able To Buy

Flash forward to 2022 and Nissan has announced an actual Z race car that customers can buy. Say hello to the Nissan Z GT4, the latest sports car racing contender from Japan. Unlike the Fairlady Z432R, the Z GT4 won’t be road legal, but that doesn’t matter considering how serious this effort is. To craft the Z GT4, Nissan’s Nismo division took a standard Z and removed everything that was unnecessary....

The Sarit Is A Tiny Electric Microcar From Canada With A Strange Gasoline Doomsday Sales Pitch

Unsurprisingly, SARIT is an acronym, one that stands for Safe, Affordable, Reliable, Innovative Transportation. Let’s start with the Safe part of that equation, as three-wheeled vehicles with one wheel at the front have an unfortunate reputation for tipping over. While little seems to have been done to counter the inherent imbalance of a design like this, the SARIT takes safety holistically with an extruded aluminum frame and a very low minimum speed limiter for pedestrian safety....

The Spawn Of Chatgpt Will Try To Sell You Things

Joshua Browder, the CEO of DoNotPay, a company that automates administrative chores including disputing parking fines and requesting compensation from airlines, this week released video of a chatbot negotiating down the price of internet service on a customer’s behalf. The negotiator-bot was built on the AI technology that powers ChatGPT. It complains about poor internet service and parries the points made by a Comcast agent in an online chat, successfully negotiating a discount worth $120 annually....

The Used Car Market Is Still So Tight That Nissan Will Now Sell You A Decade Old Certified Pre Owned Altima

Welcome to The Morning Dump, bite-sized stories corralled into a single article for your morning perusal. If your morning coffee’s working a little too well, pull up a throne and have a gander at the best of the rest of yesterday. Nissan Will Now Sell You A Ten-Year-Old Certified Pre-Owned Car Despite supply and wholesale values of used cars easing, prices are still incredibly high. It makes sense, then, that Nissan would follow in Honda’s footsteps by expanding its certified pre-owned program to include models up to ten years old with up to 100,000 miles....

The Volvo Ex90 Will Either Be The Safest Volvo Ever Or Will Help The Machines Win

The EX90 won’t debut until November 9th, but some of the details are included in a series of Shingy-esque press releases that include a lot of sections like “Understanding the human experience” and “a watchful guardian.” Specifically, there’s stuff like: Emphasis mine. The press release goes out of the way to remind us that Volvo is made of people and not robots trying to bring about the end of human free will....

There S A Rare Tatra Being Auctioned That Appears To Be The Car From That Lemony Snicket Movie

The Tatra 603 has an interesting history; it’s very clearly derived from Tatra’s earlier pre-war and wartime rear-engined streamlined cars like the Tatra T77 and Tatra T87, which developed into the T600 Tatraplan, and then to the T603, which is what we’re talking about. Now, under the old Soviet-led Eastern Bloc rules, Czech Tatra was supposed to focus on trucks and luxury cars for high-ranking party members would be imported from the USSR....

These Little Latches Have A Funny Nickname I Bet You Can Guess Cold Start

The detail are those little hood/trunk latches that have little flip-up covers and use a hex key to lock or unlock. These things: You’ve probably already guessed, but the nickname for these are “toilet seats” because damn, they look exactly like a toilet seat. I mean, if I piss off a witch tomorrow and she transforms me into a little mouse or vole or something, I’m going to get one of these and build myself a little toilet, because I don’t care what I look like, I am not shitting on people’s floors or in their cabinets....

This Absurd Wooden Kit Car Was Made By The Aston Martin Lagonda Designer

British car designer William Towns was born in 1936. As Channel 4 News writes, his car design career began with the Rootes Group, where he worked on seat styling and door handles. The channel notes that Towns was also involved in the design for the Hillman Hunter. In 1963, Towns joined Rover, where he worked for David Bache, a designer who would later be involved in the Range Rover. With Rover, Towns designed the body of the Rover-BRM gas turbine-powered Le Mans racer....

This Is How A Car Designer Would Make A Modern Classic British Roadster

Now, being the resident Brit around these parts, I feel a certain obligation to, as Her Majesty’s best known secret agent might quip, “keep the British end up.” Now I know we’ve had our differences in the past. You colonials tried to make tea by chucking crates of it in Boston harbor and we set fire to the White House. But that’s all behind us now right? I don’t drink tea anyway....

Three Pedals And Long Roofs 1985 Subaru Gl Vs 1995 Toyota Corolla

Yeah, that’s where I’m at too. I like them both, obviously, but I get the feeling I’d get a chance at a better Fiero, or a lesser one for cheaper. The Barracuda feels more like a “now or never” opportunity. I can’t afford either one right now, but if I could, I’d go Plymouth. Now, today we have a couple of cars that aren’t on anybody’s wish list, but they’re such a useful body style that maybe they should be....

Vw Beetle Fiat Spider Range Rover Imperial Which Of Our Project Car Winners Would You Wrench On

Looks like the Imperial Wallet Destroyer has it. This is, of course, the correct answer. (Oh, you didn’t know there is always a correct and incorrect answer? Sorry, did I forget to mention that?). For those who complained it was too hard to find parts for or that it had too many doors: I find your lack of faith disturbing. The Imperial is epic. Before I recap this week’s winners, a quick word about project cars, if I may: The idea of bringing an inoperative piece of junk back from the dead (or near-dead) is not for everyone....

My go-to junkyard is U.S. Auto in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Standing on the grounds of the famous defunct “Warhoops” salvage yard, the place is always filled to the brim with classics. Plus, it’s fairly clean, and, most importantly, it’s right up the street from my compoun…er, house. Anyway, a while back the company held its annual “60 for 60” sale, and I figured I’d record the whole thing because it’s absolutely absurd:...
