That was the main reasoning behind mine.  See my story above about my dad’s Matrix that did 300K miles over 10 years.

Right now I’m at 60K and I am seriously thinking of trading it in. I truly hate the automatic in it and I’m worried the poor calibration will cause early wear or failure from rough, ill timed shifts. I’ve been laying out the budget plan to swap it for a ‘20 TRD manual later this year. Yeah, I’ll get hit with…

I bought a Tacoma, because even though it lags behind the Colorado and Ranger in terms or horsepower, fuel economy, tow rating, options, etc, and it has the absolute WORST automatic you can buy today, I know I can trust my Toyota to last for ages. And for someone who drives 30-35,000 miles a year, long term reliability…

You know what makes you tough?  Not giving a shit about what other people drive.  

You username sums up every reason this is probably not the best advice to take.  And if that isn’t enough, the D2 has issues with the cylinder block cracking.  This is specifically why I stayed away from a D2 a few years ago.

Just cut to the chase guys:

Inside sources say this will be the new company logo:

It’s hard for me to admit that these cars and movies are quickly moving into the “vintage” and “classic” categories and that this movie came out over “half my life ago”. God, did I really get this old?

I wasn’t talking about the railroad companies. Those vehicles are still owned by the OEM and in the case of Jeep, giving away a bunch of wrecked Gladiators for the aftermarket to start building into show trucks is the perfect way of making the best out of the loss.  Jeep absolutely does have the capacity for that.

I could see a handful of these be sold on to aftermarket companies to be turned into show trucks and/or race trucks. If they’re “off-road” only, then they don’t need to be titled.

What are the odds that come winter time, David chickens out and realizes this is too nice a Jeep to drive through Michigan winters?  I’ve got 10:1.

Where lightning was constantly striking.  If NASCAR had kept the race running and a fan had been struck by lightning, this wouldn’t just be a controversy in the NASCAR fan community, it would be all over the national news.  NASCAR made the right call.

His car crossed the finish line first. That’s the literal definition of winning a race.  

I voted NP and THEN saw the broken windshield.  Have to agree here.  Either replace it, or drop the price by $700.

The issue in F1 is that the driver’s take any gray area and abuse the shit out of it. If there are zero penalties for track limits, they’ll cut chicanes. The esses at CotA will just be another straightway. If there are no blocking rules, they’ll run each other into walls. John Watson said it best in a recent interview:…

This is why one should not comment before the first cup of coffee.  Derp on me.

Please man, take a basic photography/photoshop class.  The photos in this article are AWFUL.  

This is one of those debates that will never end.  It’s like Apple vs Mac or cats vs dogs: they each have their pros and cons and at the end of the day you’ll get whatever you prefer the most.  Or you’ll be indecisive and get both.  Or you’ll be weird and buy a Mazdaspeed6, aka the ferret of this particular segment.

Neutral: Buying a house and getting rid of any social life. I currently live in the city and my job is in a rural town. I commute 70 miles a day round trip. Telecommuting is an option, but one that is frowned upon by my employer unless it’s absolutely necessary. Also, since I live in a mostly rural state, even in a…

2nd Gear: Line worker salary is $63/ hour. Mary Barra makes $21.3 million/ year which equates to $10,650/ hour (assuming a 40 hour work week, or $8520/hour if she works 50 hours, which is more typical of management). It’s pretty easy to assume the rest of GM’s corporate management is bringing home contracts in that…
