I used to work at a Rent-a-Wreck and they bought vehicles at auction from the major rental companies. They’d usually have less than 25K miles on them and were generally in very good shape. Few had major problems, and they’d keep renting them until they hit 100k miles or so, then sell them off the lot. The only time…

Thanks for the information, I would not have known this otherwise. We could at least give them their phones back, though!

It appears that your keyboard needs some maintenance.

If you get some shit made by Elmo implanted in your brain you deserve all of the bad things. 

The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander. I got one as a rental when my flight home from Santa Barbara was cancelled and drove it home to northern California. It looked good enough, but I was immediately thrown off by the lack of connectivity tech inside and the kinda crappy interior materials. But that could be attributed to…

7.3 PS with a utility bed and a neat camper? I’d be in if it were 30k cheaper—that’s a lot of scratch for a truck with a quarter million miles on it, 7.3 or nay. 

Between the stupid racing seats, hacked up interior and gauges, and questionable looking work under the hood, it’s a big no dice. I love the concept, but it’s poorly executed.

The real story here is how in the hell are all of those cars so perfectly parked!

That broke my brain for a second. 

Yup. I had a 1983 Nissan Sentra wagon when I was a teenager and 0-60 was reportedly 13.5 seconds when new and more like 20 seconds for my 150K mile hand-me-down. The Versa (which is more of an equivalent to the 80s subcompact Sentra) knocks a good 4-5 seconds off of that.

El Corollamino

Pearl Beige Metallic—the first automotive color to be approved by every HOA in the United States.

Yup! The first-gen Mustangs with the I-6 were real turds. The integrated intake and cylinder head and tiny single-barrel carb tended to starve the outside cylinders and they were a pain to modify because of the integrated intake. Not only were they slow, they tend to run rough, too. 

Bye, Tesla! 

YOU EEEDIOT! 

They must have forgotten the “do not press this button” sticky note. 

If a million bucks looks like a steaming hot pile of dog doo, then I guess you’re right. 

Ha, I love that they have friggin’ saddle bags on them!

I damn near lost my finger to a 1966 Mustang door. I was in the back seat and had my hand in front of the open rear quarter window and my index finger was hanging in the top of the door jamb. Passenger got in and closed the door on my finger, and of course it had to be the guy who always slams the shit out of car doors…

I guess it’s hard to get aggressive during commute hours in LA when freeway speeds top out at 5 mph. The last few times I drove there, though, it appears everyone comes completely unglued late at night when traffic lets up and the minimum acceptable speed in the left lane is about 115.
