A Champion Built By Love: The Subaru 22B Story
In the modern automotive landscape, there is no shortage of uninspiring cars. Corporations design and manufacture millions of them to meet quotas, both financial and regulatory in nature.
Subaru has no trouble meeting this criteria. Their employment of advertising to appeal to the masses and embracement of the crossover lands them in the doghouse of most enthusiasts. With their sole redeeming qualities of the BRZ and WRX fading fast, it seems the brand could fall into the profit-hungry corporate landscape forever.
30 years ago, there was a different narrative. Winning was everything, and perfection was expected. Dive into the story behind the odd automaker by reliving the history of weirdn...

Why The World Needs "Bad" Cars
Просмотров 821Год назад
It’s no secret that in the 1980s Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) gained tremendous popularity. As the malaise era ended, people wanted the ability to venture off-road and it became clear that 4x4 Off-road vehicles, such as Blazers and Broncos, were typewriters in a computer lab. Fueled by overwhelming demand and R&D teams hard at work, a descendant of an off-roading titan was born: The Land Rove...

When the Jeep XJ Cherokee debuted in the fall of 1983, it changed the automotive world forever. Today, it secretly dominates the industry. Dive into the story behind the legend with facts and a story you didn't ask for, but I tell you anyway.

    I had an '86 manual transmission XJ, while I had many fond memories of it, that GM V6 2.8L engine was the WORST engine ever. But the I-6 4.0L was a solid workhorse.

    Proud owner of a 1991 Briarwood. I always wanted one in high school, but I opted for a Toyota Pickup instead. While my truck paved the way to much brand loyalty, the thought of one day owning a clean XJ was always there. I owned a cheap, high mileage ZJ, and while not perfect, it made me fall in love with the 4.0 and the nimble, rough and tumble, Slinky’esque suspension that soaked up everything. Sure, they have their issues (XJ’s), but seeing them alive and well today puts the biggest smile on my face. Product of a bygone era; you will be forever missed.

    I love my restored 90 4wd 2dr. Owned a TJ before i snagged and fixed it. XJ's and TJ's are the last true jeeps we've had. Sure the Renix system is temperamental, but most dudes deal with a temperamental wife and don't put much thought process into everyday life and are impulsive as is so i can understand its not for everyone. Renix is quite easy actually, compared to my 88 BMW 325is. No I cant scan my 90's codes, but i can mentally read if something is wrong. Idle is a little funny? Check the air filter, throttle body and throttle cables. Mpg dip? Check injectors, fuel pump, injectors and fuel filter

    I found a loop hole within a race between the Mitsubishi pajero Evo and the jeep grand cherokee 5.9 limited. The pajero had a 7.4 second 0-60 and a top speed of 130mph. But test show it actuality had a 0-60 of 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 138 mph. This was due to the gentlemans agreement. But compared to jeep manufacturers saying the jeep had a 0-60 of 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 124 mph.

      Correct. There’s this company called Red Bull, they’ve made a pretty big deal out of the whole racing thing. Sure just one example, but large companies always fight to sponsor the winning teams. You don’t have to agree, but the opinions I submit are not far-fetched.
