...more like a F&F 5.5, with Dom and his crew stranded in Massachusetts without their usual hardware and needing sweet rides to thwart thieves more thievin’ than themselves, locate the dealer’s stash and cherry-pick cars from the garage, with car-guy dialogue about how a Supra turbo is more or less likely to blow…

that was a weird time for Nissan, with three models of similar size and performance spec. The Altima, Maxima and Infiniti G35 were all about the same size and shared the VQ 3.5 in different states of tune. Of course two were FWD and the G35 was rear (later AWD) and each was targeted to a different demographic but were …

Sorry, but can’t disagree more about the houndstooth. In an otherwise perfect car, it would be a dealbreaker for me. Hate the look.

To make things easier for my aging eyes, I’ve been running my laptop out to a 46" monitor and have lost any taste for those dinky screens unless I’m traveling.

gotta love the driver trainee’s response when one kid asks what happened...”you don’t want to know”

I’ve been able to keep my habit under control, mainly because I moved from walking distance to 10 miles away from the only bookstore around here that carries them. Still, every occasional fix costs me $50 for a 35 quid’s worth of cover prices.

My pharmacist kindly provides me with amber vials perfectly sized for about$5 worth of toll and meter food 

Florida man seems to handle the culling pretty well himselves. I go with the sentient, hungry bridge hypothesis.

Diver Dom would seal up the electrical components, turn the trunk into a big tank of compressed oxygen and put some check valves in the exhaust to beat the greedy salvage divers to Porsche and Lamborghini engines for the poor kids in east LA to stuff into old Hondas.

people talk EV, high performance versions, special editions and upmarket content, but can we please have........a two door?

all these critiques of aesthetics and hardly a word about accumulating dust, dirt, snow and slush. whether you clean them yourself or you’re a fancy boy who has grime-servants to do it, some will look like shit until it’s done and some others...not so much

Then again...listen to as much of what they have to say as you can. Even though they think they’re talking up a car’s high points, not only do they often drop a good bit of info about its shortcomings, they reveal how much they actually know about a car and its problems. I once scored a ‘67 Chevy for $15 because, to…

show me a deed

Nicely done. Stripped a few interiors down to the paint/rust/holes myself, and can appreciate the work involved. Either it’s caked with an ungodly stew of crap that takes hours to scrape off or it’s in much better shape than you thought and now you’ve got to figure out a way to replace or fabricate all the clips that…

Are the designers visually impaired or just lacking any artistic sensibilities? That is one of the ugliest vehicles I’ve ever seen.

you see the table he meets people at? that’s as close as anyone gets, except maybe the guy who test-eats his food to check for poison. unless a close advisor gets uber-bold and just as lucky to outrace Vlad’s bodyguards and puts a pencil through his brain, ain’t gonna happen.

if your kids had an opportunity to have a zillionaire parent-who wasn’t you-with more $$$ than sprinkles on all the world’s ice cream cones, would you deny them that?

I love cars and trucks and motorcycles - of all types. What I may not “like” I can still appreciate for its exploration of alternatives in design and engineering...but this abomination has no reason to exist. It’s a waste of time, money, material and attention and unusable as anything but a parade float.

...not before having your horn tuned, upgrading to radial windshield wiper blades and getting a mudflap alignment...

As a fan of MS-DOS who resisted the conversion to windows, I can tell you that it doesn’t end well.
