As an Ohioian, one correction to the article. Kids receive a new book each month from sign up until their 5th birthday, not just for a year. You can sign your kid up at birth and get a book every month for five years. For free.

I had three kids go through the program and I blame Dolly for their love of books as it was…

Minivans make people uncomfortable because they are the real sign of actual virility instead of a small car for two people or a truck that kids would need a ladder to get into. It just rubs your ability to reproduce in everyone else’s face and not everyone is secure enough to handle that.

Any manufacturer provided GPS mapping system. I’ve never seen one that works as well as the Android or iOS map apps. They’re often out of date, make questionable route decisions and look like they were designed by attempting to emulate MapQuest circa 2004.

So did Columbus, Ohio!

Down in southern Ohio, woke up to several inches of snow on top of half an inch of ice. But I had somewhere to be so I got in my 91 Ford Ranger XLT with three friends and head off. Taking it slow and doing my best but had absolutely nothing but the snow over the rear tires. See a guy with two wheels off the side of…

My father owned an honest to god Yugo. I can remember two things - the sound of the brakes and that when he took it back to get the radio fixed because it just stopped working, the entire dealership was gone.

Watching how this thing starts, it’s really, really easy to understand how that could happen. I’m really, really, glad this isn’t how we start cars anymore.

Behold the Dymaxion. Might be a car, might be a bus, but it was weird.

My exotic daily driver is a 2021 Sienna. XSE. Because, well, I needed a minivan. Do a lot of kid and stuff hauling, lots of car camping with the younger scouts so the AWD doesn’t suck. 38-ish MPG on the regular doesn’t suck either. Got a nice big infotainment screen where my kids can read how long it’s going to be to…

1990-1993 IROC Dodge Daytonas.

Really specific - but Southwestern Ohio has two really weird things.

Came here to say this. Wonder if it’s the same survey my dealership told me “if you can’t give us 10/10 on anything, email us and we’ll make it good. If you give us 10/10 on everything, take a screenshot and send it to us and your next oil change is free.”

Shadier than Amazon reviews.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Buddy of mine had a truly decrepit Jetta back in the 90's. It was a manual and the ignition was broken in a weird way where you could turn the cylinder but the car wouldn’t start without the right key. Also, one of the doors wouldn’t ever lock. Which meant you could easily get in, drop the thing into neutral and…

Solitaire.

Solitaire.

As someone who lives around hills, those high amber lights in the rear are clutch. Having just a bit more warning that there’s a slow/stopped vehicle just over the rise might help avoid just a few more panic stops and that’s fine by me.

“This is my best price.”

I just want them to fix same screen multiplayer. The GT Sport split screen split it vertically, then let you use a little widescreen window in the middle of that. So your screen was technically 1/4 of a screen with black stripes above and below where the instruments were. It made no sense. Bring back the horizontal…

“Jessica” by the Allman Bros.

Right now, my minivan. All my kids’ events are canceled so I end up driving around with only myself or one other person in literally two tons of unreliable. We’ve had all 5 people in one vehicle 6 times since March. There’s just no where to go with three kids. But it’s paid off and not bleeding us too dry on repairs (a…
