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 🥲

Just used to use a broom stick for the alignment tool for the air-cooled VW's. Worked fine and never had to cut up a good transmission.

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?

All the car guys on Motortrend are the greatest especially David Friburger who I have been following for decades. Lightenup on the recent copyright BS your bean counters are going to ruin the hobby they're probably not even car guys

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
