“I’ll believe it when me shit turns purple and tastes like rainbow sherbet”.

Aimee had very solid picks, but Marnie’s picks of Moose Tracks, black raspberry chocolate chip and butter pecan juuuuuust edged her out. (Really, all credit goes to the black raspberry on that one... my favorite combo is that with hot fudge and peanut butter sauce on top - like an ice cream PBJ!).

Man the only things keeping me from buying this are lack of time, money and skill to restore it.  I love these things... a relatively unique piece of automotive and racing history! 

2nd Gear: I’m really impressed with Volvo’s renewal under Geely. I was skeptical at first but their products are gorgeous and very desirable and there’s no sign of that changing anytime soon.

Sounds like you got a real charge out of this discovery! 

Really, we’re seeing a repeat of the auto industry when it first emerged. There were thousands of auto manufacturers, and eventually they either consolidated or folded until we ended up with a relatively stable group.

I work in a place that sees 5-6 LTL deliveries per day, and there’s a HUGE difference between the product that arrives on the same carrier it was shipped through, versus the product that has bounced (sometimes literally) from one regional carrier to another on its way across the country.

I shopped Jag the last time I was in the market, compared against Audi, Alfa Romeo and some others. I was really disappointed - I drove the XE which I found to be cramped inside and very heavy feeling, plus the tech looked outdated. Also, it was just a poor value. The XE was missing quite a few features that were…

With a child on the way and probably a second one in our future, I’ve pretty much resigned myself to the fact that this will most likely be my next vehicle once my current lease is up.

As a parts guy, I absolutely HATE when manufacturers do this.

Chances are, they already do...

I think it’s still two separate grilles on that spy shot, it’s just that the lighting and dark car color make the body-colored middle section blend in with the black grille.

I hope the ID.R beats it. Then I hope Porsche drags the 919 Evo out of retirement and shows them what’s what.

When we figure out a way for a multitude of media outlets to operate and survive independently without the need for profit.

I always really enjoyed it when the predators would say “Oh, yeah, I’ve seen that show...”  HA. Enjoy prison, dumbass. 

I personally didn’t get a new car in 2019 because my wife and I already each got one in 2018. Given that we’d seen an increase in sales for a few straight years, to record numbers, it was only a matter of time before the market took a step back. Cars last longer than ever now and scrappage rates remain low so to me it…

Maybe they’ll make an electric or hybrid hatchback off the same platform to compete with the Honda E... they could call it the Pinto! 

I suppose it may be a way for them to automatically filter out unqualified/inexperienced candidates, but it astounds me how much industry (and even Ford-specific) jargon is in that job listing. What’s a V11/V12? What’s a VFG? What’s a binning claim?

Wow, $36k for that in 1999... could you imagine Mitsubishi selling a $56,000 SUV today?? 

And it’s in deep disrepair.
