Yup, for heavy/bulky car parts, Greyhound is often the best way to go.

My favorite kitschy roadside attraction on my San Diego to Chicago and back road trip was the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX. For some reason I was completely fascinated by these Detroit hulks buried nose first in the ground and practically shellacked with spray paint. That's me trying to push over the '59.

Yup, I remember the one that frequented the Ford dealer I worked at circa 2000. He had a '94 Dodge Ram dually and the dually fenders were mostly duct tape.

You are correct. I called out the owner on this when I saw the car in person and he confirmed that's the case.

I've sat in that car. Both this ute and the coupe were at the Fabulous Fords show at Knott's Berry Farm earlier this year.

I keep hearing people say "oh, they've fixed the problems" on the newest/latest VWs, but I'm still selling parts for them like they're going out of style.

I work for an internet parts distributor and hear horror stories like this about late model VAG products all the time. I'd never buy one.

A good friend of mine works for an automotive repair manual company and told me that replacing the oxygen sensor on the W8 Passat was an 8+ hour job.

It's only noteworthy for them to perform this repair for free if the car is out of warranty. Otherwise, performing a TSB-prescribed fix for cars under warranty (which should be the vast majority of 2011 model cars at this point) is exactly what they're supposed to do.

Already been said, but Fox Body Mustangs are starting to gain a following for more than just hoon cars. The rarer versions (Pace Cars, SVOs, etc) even moreso.

Apparently it was camel tow instead.

Mitsubishi Tredia. Saw one parked in a local neighborhood while walking the dog. Obviously hadn't moved in a while. Also saw a 2nd gen Mitsu Precis (rebadged Hyundai Excel). The funny part is that it was all stickered up with Mitsu logos and even had fake vortex generator tabs a la Mitsu Evo on the back end of the…

I just saw one yesterday, lowered on big wheels with a front chin spoiler. Looked surprisingly good.

Wrong photos for the Taurus and Civic. Google Images ain't that hard to figure out.
