I-87 runs through Yonkers and connects with the Cross Bronx and Bruckner expressways which lead to the Whitestone, Throgs Neck and Triboro (RFK) bridges that lead to Queens, Brooklyn and the rest of Long Island, so the route isn’t impossible, just congested and tedious

...I don’t recall how many bolts it takes to secure the harmonic balancer on my Corvair but I’m sure that’s why.

Same as my 2005 Outback. With the passenger seat down, not only 2 x 4s, but 10 foot lengths of pipe are easily accommodated. Just wish that the hatch window opened to fit 12 footers, and can’t understand why my 2020 Mini Countryman’s seats don’t fold.

Ever since I injured my back, my seat heater is rarely turned off. I’ve even gone joyriding at 3 am just for the relief it provides

flat 6?!?!?

I had a Samurai myself, and was once rear-ended by a dump truck who bent my window.

I despised him long before his presidential run for his assassination of the Corvair (disclosure: CORSA chapter founder). By the time his book reached its audience, GM’s redesign of the car mooted much of his criticism....but they couldn’t just let it slide, and engaged in an underhanded campaign to defame and…

as the former owner of a 2013 Veloster turbo, I concur that it’s a hoot, even with the paddle shifted automatic. just don’t try to drive in the snow.

Indeed. Tugs are the guardian angels of harbors and ports

Despite what the corporate planners seem to think, there really is an unmet demand for a truly compact pickup. And the argument that a full size truck can be had for nearly the same price as a a smaller one misses the point that a small truck satisfies the many of us that only want a truck to haul bicycles and furnitur…

I assume that it just happened to be towed by the nearest available truck with enough mass to stabilize the flying F-350. While they could have strung together a ten ton chain of Civics and Corollas, this seems to be the simpler solution.

A deer once hit my BMW while it was parked in my driveway. The beast had apparently been running across my neighbor’s lawn and didn’t notice the four foot drop from a retaining wall that ran along the driveway. It landed on the front fender of my X4, and slid across the hood, sufficiently traumatized to lose control…

so if you’re already traveling at the speed of light, and you turn your headlights on, where does the light go?

are we long-lost siblings?  that sounds like my mother (a legal secretary) fighting insurance companies whose staff never knew their contracts as well as she did

that’s what I was taught by my childhood (electrician’s son) best friend when we started playing with real cars and squeezing speakers into any empty space we could find

and wheel bearings that last more than 30,000 miles

love me them used dogs myself. one benefit unmentioned is that when they crap on the floor or piss in your shoes, you can blame it on their previous owner’s lack of proper maintenance, just like that used car that leaks fluids all over your garage floor

like just about everyone, I watched the movie for the scene, watched the chase three times and forgot about the rest. For my money, the Seven-Ups chase was the best of the era, ending as it does in my neighborhood. The big IF about Steve McQueen is whether his tough guy persona would have made a difference at the…

Why all the hate for BMW’s hatchbacks? I’ve owned four BMWs and four Subarus, each half sedans and half hatches. My only complaints are that the Subarus weren’t BMWs and that they couldn’t all be hatchbacks.

Of course. Why encourage a buyer to purchase a $$$ product, when you can offer them a “much better” bike for $$$$.
