Pointing out that police do a lot of rotten things is “far left”? I don’t think so, it’s just pointing out that there are a lot of cops that do really shitty things and they shouldn’t get away with them. Defund the police? No, but reform them, of course. And stop rehiring ones that have proven to be bad guys in…

Yeah, the soap aisle at the grocery store is a “get through it as fast as I f’in can!” thing. I start clearing my throat and coughing, and if there is a bottle of detergent on the floor broken open, it’s always some stuff that reeks like hell, like Gain. There are a lot of bad smelling things I would take before I…

I’ve personally never “developed a taste for” anything. The only thing I eat that I didn’t like from the first bite is broccoli. I tolerate it now, but do I love it? Hell no. I absolutely hated tomato anything from the first time my mom chopped up spaghetti and shoved it in my mouth. My sister is 6 years older and she…

There’s a guy who lives up in Michigan someplace and he has a Lexus of recent vintage (I can’t remember which model it is) and he had a solid body paint matching horizontal bar added across the front “shaver head” and it looks amazingly better. a small change takes it from, “Whoa!” to “Not bad”I wish I could have…

My sister and I always thought coffee tasted awful, but our parents assured us that someday, we would like it. Never happened, we both still hate it, and I can barely stand the smell of it. I’m kind of famous for being able to smell a burning coffeepot in the kitchen at work while still in the parking lot. I wish I…

I’ve gone to NYC from NW Ohio a half dozen times. Best was in a friend’s ‘17 Challenger Scat Pack, second was in a rental Lincoln Town Car that would have been #1, but the wind noise from the side mirrors was really annoying. Third place went to another friend’s ‘78 Caprice, only the awful sounding factory stereo…

It is the best looking Prius ever! It has (IMHO) horrible wheels, and when I drove one, I was less than impressed with anything about it. At least it was red, and not boring white or silver like almost all the Prius’s are around here. 

The stress cracks make it a pretty nutty idea to even consider trying to fix a frame damaged like this one is. The recall is guaranteed to happen, eventually. Hopefully before someone is hurt badly or killed. I’m kind of surprised it hasn’t happened already, as the bad press piles up. 

I’ve been with State Farm for almost 45 years now, and really have no complaints, except for a claim denied about 10 years ago on blown water heater damage. I almost pulled the plug on them due to that mess, but ended up staying due to the much lower rates on my car than other companies offered. Back about 6 months…

The red thing is total nonsense. I’ve known a bunch of people who owned or still own red cars and trucks, and I have owned 3 bright red and one bright orange cars, and one yellow truck, and any stops I had were totally legit and only two of them, in over 50 years of driving, resulted in speeding tickets. I got a few…

I actually like the G70 wheels, but the rest in the pics range from, “ehh”, to “Yuck!” in order shown. That concept is too “melty” IMHO, and those wheels are Uberdork specials. 

I’ve had from 104 HP(‘85 Dodge Caravan, 2.6 Mitsubishi engine and totally frustrating to drive on any highway, doubly so in mountains) to my present 485 HP (Challenger Scat Pack, which to me is pretty much perfect), and more is so much better. For me, in a midsized or larger car, about 200 is tolerable, 300 can be…

Sometimes the parents just don’t know what to do, and don’t have a lot of options.

Everyone has a few cars they don’t give a crap about that are considered, “Classics”. Mine are mostly Fords, 1st gen Mustangs in particular, so I pass those by. I’ve lost any and all interest in the last two generations of Camaros, too, and the first gen Camaros are just too common. A good second Gen, Camaro or…

We rode the public bus (Community Traction/Tarta) for free with tokens provided by the school. The school secretary handed them out like she paid for them and you had to go to her before school, never at lunch, when she sat and listened to the radio and read a book, to get them. If you lost them, you had to really…

Back about the fall of ‘75, I was going back from the drag races at Irwindale to Vegas and I pulled into a gas station off I-15 someplace, I can’t remember where, and didn’t pay attention to the $0.99 price, that was per half gallon. I was low on money and just before I would have been wiped out, I realized I had put…

It’s about $0.80 to $1.00 more, here locally. I saw a .70 difference yesterday and got excited. Until I saw it was the same price as premium at the other places and my car doesn’t like regular, which was cheaper.

My folks bought a lot of cars in the 60's and 70's, and we only had one car with a power window issue and that was when my dad’s Imperial had ice all over it and my mom kept trying to open the window, which was frozen up. All she needed to do was wait until it thawed out, but the ice on the window bothered her, so she…

Just a little delay for the auto down function would make this problem go away. If you move the switch a little, the window should start moving, let it go, it stops. Simple. If you hold down the switch, after a second or so, to to auto down/up. I just to have a dog that jumped out of my truck twice, so auto down needs…

A family friend of mine for over 60 years, whose car only seems to turn right anymore, called me one day about something and he says, thinking it’s some really smart observation, “How come Obama didn’t do so and so about Covid?”. He wanted to hang up when I gave him the bulletin that Obama wasn’t president when Covid…
