It's a shame no one can actually watch any of this anymore 🙄 come on motortrend don't you actually want people to be able to watch your content

They invested far too much in their own platform so need to gatekeep their fans as long as they can. But I think more and more people will forget about motortrend as a whole the longer it goes on.

Yes! I got kicket out from motortrend a long time age. Would happily pay, but I live in Skandinavia. Cant Even fool it with a VPN, since you have to have a billing adress in the US 🥲

Only if they get PAID. That's kind of the whole point in BUSINESS.

idk why you wouldn't put a shift box on top of the tunnel and run the rod above? seems like the 'right' way to do the bus swap?

Why not use the whole front end of a Malibu?Yes?S front wheel drive drop the whole front Axel's transmission engine all-in-one and plant it up under that Volt wagon.And now ALS 53 leader built to the tail with turbos.And that thing would be a wheeling machine in the dunes
