Extended or crew cab.  Because I would probably prefer the front seat to the back of an extended cab truck, too.

I think Convertibles are owned by more women than men. Plenty of these women have found ways to deal with their hair (pony tails, head scarves, etc.) I’ve only had sunburn in mine one time, and that’s when I drove from NC to Nova Scotia with the top down most of the time and it was July. I stopped for sunscreen in…

Yep, the problem is most cars now can take most freeway exits at 1.5-2x faster than those yellow signs indicate.  So you throw in an occasional one where you actually have to follow the suggested speed and it causes crashes.

The one teen was essentially forced in by his father.

 Bosch ABS modules of that era in many cars (My Isuzu Trooper and BMW e38, for instance) have a problem where the tiny wires inside the module get detached - they are typically the wires that lead to the wheel sensors.  There are many online services that will repair these modules for less than $200.  They fixed the…

Similar story with following trails in woods. I was driving my 4x4 Isuzu P’up in the Croatan Nat’l Forest, and was following a 2 track through the trees. It’s mostly flat land, so I saw the trail go over a little rise, and then could see the trail on the other side, so I went over the rise.

Do you press a button to activate said automatic closing? If so, then that’s just you starting the motions differently than pushing the door/trunk/hatch yourself. You should still know not to put your body parts in the panel gap.

WTF are you talking about. They have had dangerous closing mechanisms in cars for as long as cars have been around. How about you don’t stick your fingers in a closing trunk, hood or door. I learned that lesson a long time ago, in the door of a 75 Monte Carlo.

You should try closing you finger in the door of a 75 Monte Carlo.

I’m sure the problem is they can’t find a door.  However, a bunch of parts for other Oceans just became available.

I did.  The problem with the article is the headline doesn’t match the facts.  They aren’t giving up on gigacasting.  They are giving up on gigacasting the entire floor.

Here’s fun one. I was driving from NC to Florida for Christmas, it’s Christmas Eve Eve. I’m about 1 hour from home, I floor my BMW e38 740, I suddenly see water spraying out the right side of the hood and the temp shoots up all of a sudden. I immediately stop, see a heater hose has popped off the fitting and it…

Saw a Lyric in the wild yesterday, was decidedly underwhelmed.  In particular the paint just looked bad.

Ummmm, NO.

Yes, but 2 of the sections are still cast using the gigacasting method.  So they aren’t giving up on gigacasting, they just aren’t using it for as large a section of the car.  Maybe they should call the even larger sections ‘Teracasting’ so we can distinguish between the 2.

Camry Hybrid or Avalon Hybrid would be my answer.

Not a problem since it’s not legal anywhere to drive that fast.

Brisket? Why are you even talking about brisket in relationship to eastern NC BBQ?

This is clearly the next thing the government needs to crack down on.  Fair pricing on advertising, i.e. no BS fees that get added onto the advertised price.

Or the street in front of your house where you normally park.
