As an adult I’m highly suspicious of any Dodge as far as long term quality, but I have nothing but praise for my old ‘03 SRT4. I drove the hell out of it for 60k miles, then sold it to a friend who continued the tradition of fwd burnouts until he sold it at 130k miles. We ran a vin locator years later and discovered

CP at half the asking price.

Between several cars i’ve bought and use 4 of these, they are great. My only gripe is they are only 2.4A chargers. We have recently changed all our home chargers to Samsung OE lightning chargers, and what a difference in charging speed for my S7! I’m crossing my fingers aukey will offer QC3.0 soon in this size

I suddenly had to do the research, and it was quite amazing. Your boss should be familiar with deer, apparently they have quite the problem with them too. Wikipedia’s US stats are from 2000 (dont know why they are 17 years old, but hey) and they had listed at 1 million crashes, and 200 deaths from deer. That is

Nice write up! Looks like a pretty awesome experience. I had the opportunity years ago to do the SRT Driving Experience in Miami with my SRT4. The lessons I took from it were similar to ones you mentioned. Ever since that day, my seat back has been much more upright, I’m a bit closer to the steering wheel, and my

“During the stop, the police found three bald tires, no windshield wipers, and an open can of beer in the car.”

Toyota LOVES putting remove engine/transaxle on their repair procedures. My wifes es350 steering rack, step 1 - R&I engine. I did the job in 1.5 hrs without needing to drop it. Early 2000's Camry’s - the way the lower control arm bolts are blocked by the engine mounts, the procedure says R&I engine to replace the

I don’t live there so I can’t speak with certainty, but 1.5 million doesn’t buy you an overly lavish place in NYC, right? Hell in my area, average decent homes (suburb style, 75-100 ft lots) are between 200 and 250 per sq ft. If you want a gated community you are looking more at 300-450/sqft

Wrong Wrong Wrong.

Looks like it started with a clear case of ‘Get the F out of the left lane!’

No. Just No. I like BMW’s but I cringe everytime one comes into the shop for body or mechanical work. It is guaranteed that all plastic tabs/clips are mostly broken, there will be a large oil puddle where it was sitting, and the suspension will sound like it is trying to escape. I’ve found that the individuals who

I was wondering this very thing, since i use LP for everything, hell I dont even know my own gmail password [random characters ftw?]

But can you roll fiberglass.....

On a different blog i frequent, the title to this story would be:

As a mechanic who moves cars around all day, I have developed bad muscle memory to get in a car and just drive. When I drive my Titan home, I’m normally halfway there before i realize I’m unbuckled and correct it. When I drive my wifes Toyota, the dang beeper is so annoying it reminds me right away to put it on.

I blame those ‘no cell phone use’ laws in cars. In the good ‘ol days of 2012, you could hold your phone up high on your steering wheel at 12 o’clock position, and easily text n tweet while keeping your peripheral vision on the road. Only when you try to hide the phone in your crotch that you are looking away from
