When I think of ultra-luxury I think of Rolls Royce, or Maybach, not Aston Martin. But if big soft crossovers keep them making the DB series cars and lunatic hypercars like the Valkyrie then more power to them. Every cup of tea doesn’t have to be MY cup of tea. 

Thats pretty much how GM made it through the 90s, along with full sized trucks. I loved the 95 Trans Am I had, but it was a poorly built piece of shit were every penny was pinched outside of the drivetrain. It rattled more than Michael J Fox holding a half filled bottle of Advil with even the slightest bumps in the…

Maximas tend to be nicer than you’d expect. A friend bought a loaded one about ten years ago and I was pretty surprised with how nice it was, and how well it drove. I did like the Xterra Pro 4, not enough buy one, but they were pretty decent rigs. Really the only one I’d consider is the Z car, just because I have…

I love 5 cylinder Audis, but for the money they are asking they should fix the seat, moonroof and fuel gauge. At this point the car is going to be a rolling project, and the $20k this seller wants is just an entrance fee to being nickeled and dimed by the quarter century components giving out for the duration of…

When I was five years old my stepdad announced he had bought a Nova. As a kid infatuated with cars I got excited, one of my dads cousins had a sweet 70 Nova. I went outside to find a 77 Nova, which at the time was an 8 year old car. That great disappointment has scarred my soul, and there is no scenario where a…

It’s not that a 2F wasn’t good, they are pretty reliable, but not good for highway use, and drink like a good sized V8 from the 70s. They will run forever if you keep up on maintenance and aren’t powerful enough to break anything. 

There is nothing more expensive than a cheap German car. I’d probably think about it if I had a LS3 sitting in a corner to throw into it. For the money you’ll end up putting into it you could get a legitimately mint 500SL.

Headlines are for reading, articles are not. 

It would need a giant fuel tank. Top fuel dragsters would use about 28 gallons of fuel per mile. It would take a lot of luck to have a motor last a complete mile, I would think the camshaft and valvetrain would turn to a fine shiny dust well before ten miles are up. 

It was more than likely boomers buying these in the late 90s. These were something like $1.5 million new. That works out to around $2.5 million in todays money, which probably kept them out of the hands of any gen Xers not belonging to middle eastern royal families. 

I saw it was a Lawrence Hodge post and instinctively clicked on the edge of the picture three times before noticing it wasn’t a slideshow. 

I went to school with a rich kid whose dad owned a paving company. For his 16th birthday he got a brand new 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 and had it for about three days. The reason he had it for three days was his new truck had the Magnum 360, and he wanted the V10, so his dad took it back and got him a V10. He seemed to get…

Minor league baseball has some of the best team names in the world.

Footwear and jeans. Good shoes or boots are the difference between joint pain and none. As for the jeans, I have pairs of Levis that I’ve been wearing since the 90s. My thrifty wife cringes when I buy a couple pairs, but they last forever, where cheap stuff I’ve bought for work have been shot out in a year. 

It isn’t just farmers cranking up the boost and fuel. You can’t change the starter on a new John Deere and make it work without a service tech plugging in their computer to activate the new starter. This isn’t locking out engine management parameters, it is solely for the purpose of monopolizing maintenance. 

It is a GM...

That’s exactly what it is, it is really nice for hauling gravel and dirt if you are landscaping. 

I really like that they are cranking up the Sporty. Not many of the leather daddies like them anyways, so its a pretty safe model to get wild with. Now the trick will be to get workers at the dealership to not become completely disinterested when someone asks about a Sportster. 

I made a beeline for the Dominator GTT, it’s the classic Mustang I’ve been waiting for in the game, and the speed isn’t nerfed like on the Ellie. 

For me it’s a HZJ75 Land Cruiser Troop Carrier. At some point before I die I want to drive from the north coast of Alaska down to the tip of South America staying off of pavement as much as possible.
