Yeah, but the only cloth available now is shitty feeling cloth. A friend of mine had a 1990 4Runner that was the most comfortable car I’ve ever ridden in, entirely because all of the cloth in the car was super thick corduroy. Also, the seats still looked great and that truck had at least 350,000 hard abused miles on…

I’m not a Porsche person, let alone a modern Porsche person, but this car looks cool and stupid fun. Who cares if the Safari car trend is played out became popular? Someone else having done something similar doesn’t make this look like any less of a good time.

“I think explaining her plans too much was kind of her downfall. As someone else said, the only explanation really needed would be ‘By any means necessary.’ Like, if you’re selling a car, you start with ‘Doesn’t this look great? Picture yourself parking it on the beach...’ and get into the maintenance schedule…

In Denver developers are trying their hardest to bulldoze the entire city to replace it with McMansions and super shitty “luxury” condos. I know this is a thing happening everywhere, but even so I have a hard time convincing people how bad it is until they’ve spent some time here. 8 years ago you could buy a house in…

I don’t really understand why new cars don’t have hood springs like old American cars, is it to save weight? It’s so nice to pop the latch and have the hood open all the way on its own, even when it’s cold out - which gas struts have a hard time with. And as far as I know the springs under my Falcon’s hood are the…

Huh, just over the top of the hill on I-70 if you’re driving from Denver to Evergreen.

I’ve seen that video, and that truck is exactly what this mustang looks like to me. It’s pretty, but I don’t trust it.

that was supposed to be “bad” but the magic of auto-correct took over. Too late to edit now!

Ugh, man, you just made the new one look back though by posting this.

ArtistAtLarge typed “designers” not “engineers.”

Just thought I’d illustrate your point.

I felt the same, but man it’s weird how old the cars are getting in the first seasons. It’s strange to have watched them go from new, to used, to old, and now a lot of them are getting to the age where they’re disappearing from the roads.

Update: Here’s a Passat with them. It looks really good.

Okay, go tell him to put his kids up for adoption then. That’ll for sure be good for them too.

I saw a jetta that someone had put these on and it looked great.

What about this van leads you to believe that this guy can afford something dramatially nicer? He got it for free and has done all of the work on it himself.

I have driven my fiancé’s Crosstrek in the mountains here in Colorado, and it’s a tossup between it and my Falcon for which will make it to the top of a hill first. My Falcon is a 52 year old economy car with a straight 6 and 3 speed manual, that was slow by 1960s standards, and yet I was passing my fiancé on hills…

My fiancé bought a manual Subaru Crosstrek and did 90% of her learning on how to drive a manual transmission on the hour drive home from picking it up. I’d showed her the basics on my own car once or twice before, but not much. You don’t need a practice car to learn how to drive a manual. Borrow a friend’s car, or…

This sounds like you’re not actually familiar with winter driving. Skinny tires cut through snow well, but no tire is going to “cut through the ice sheet.”

I’m definitely a little off, but I think the U.S. was one of the first countries to mandate safety glass in cars, beginning in 1927-ish.
