Yeah, the Mopar cars with the sunroof loses a lot of headroom. I made a hard pass on any sunroofed car due to my wispy hair brushing the roof constantly and it felt like a spide was crawling on my head. Non sunroofed Chargers/300s, and Challengers have plenty of headroom. A 6'4" friend of mine has no problems in his…
For many years, my answer would be, “Whatever my sister is currently driving!”. An endless stream of lower end, but not stripped, usually brown or tan, or later on, silver slugs. First of them was her turd brown over lighter turd brown ‘79 Cutlass. That thing was trouble from day one, and yet she kept it almost 10…
I see a few of them around the Toledo area, but an orange one that is always super clean and looks new. I’ve only seen it moving once, and that was a while back, but it’s not in the same place in their driveway, so it’s probably being driven. Reminds me of my former neighbor who had a red Maverick for about 30 years…
Since you can buy a decent dashcam with great performance at night for not a lot of money, there’s no excuse for GM and other carmakers to put crappy backup cameras in vehicles at this point in time. I don’t really care about the resolution, but decent backup lights and reasonable low light performance of the camera…
My former boss “Tom” went through employees like a drunk goes through beer cans/bottles. He owned a service station and had a large chunk of the emissions testing, so the place did well, even though he was a total dick. All four corners had service stations on them, and the worst of the other 3 had about 10% of the…
My former neighbor bought one at the height of “Bronco Fever” for a totally ridiculous price. It’s not the first time he’s done that, he bought one of the first I ever saw New Beetles for her oldest daughter as a college graduation/wedding present. It’s bad enough to pay sticker for one, but he paid like $4K over. To…
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.
