Actually that 3000 year old design was just a midcycle refresh. The frame was the same as it was on the ancient Greek Tundra, and people are still buying them

1st and Neutral: Pickup trucks are the only car segment left where people actually WANT to buy them. They’re the last of the car guys cars. Look at how emotional people get over their trucks.

For my E46 it was the lock. Actually it wasn’t even the lock actuator, it was the secondary computer behind the glovebox that controls the lock actuator.

Corvette ZR-1 had more horsepower than the C6R race car

Guy in my building has an early model E46, caught him driving out one day and I waved him down to ask who in the area he liked for a mechanic (tough to self-wrench in a downtown parking garage)

NASCAR fans: “Can 550 HP cars still crash into one another?”

Probably in response to Ford switching to Mustangs next year.  800 hp Mustangs surrounded by a crowd sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Could you remove one of the door cards and take a picture of the inside of the door? I’d like to know how easy it will be for me to fix the window regulator in 15 years.

While we are on the topic, civilians shouldn’t be allowed to order white Explorers with black grilles, dammit. I hate it when I waste a perfectly good nonchalant panic slowdown for absolutely no good reason.

Might as well go ahead and put one on your trunk lid as well. Something to pass the time while your face is getting mashed into it.

A lot of cops in Hawaii patrol in their personal vehicle. They get reimbursed by the PD. As a result, police cars in Hawaii can be almost anything.

Indiana state troopers have white F150s here in Indy. Makes life interesting on I465.

My trick, so far it’s worked, is unmarked don’t have dealer license plate frames. It’s the easiest to pick out when coming up on a car.

Now playing

And here’s another type of headlights to look for that tell you to slow down for cops:
