Our family holds on to cars for a long time. We just upgraded our 2008 Subaru Impreza for a 2021 Subaru Outback.

I feel like Bezos would have his guard up on a day like today.

I’ve been looking for a 2 door manual transmission truck for a while.  I wish somebody made a new one.  I just want the simple truck without all the crazy heavy extra stuff.

Um... You know that isn’t a convertible right? That is the hardtop MGA.

I’ve toyed with building a tiny home for years off an on. It would be a good side hobby. With the prices shown on that site, I might just have to build them to sell! That’s insane! Silly stuff going for six figures in my area!

Have you seen this Youtube video of the car? It’s a little hard to watch, but good to see more of the car.

I’ve always heard of this process as “badge engineering”. It was very common in the British Leyland cars. One good example is the MG midget and Austin Sprite. They were essentially the exact same car with different grilles and badges. Suspension, engines, body panels, were exactly the same.

Cars this nice are frequently stolen to order. Stealing it without an exit plan would be ridiculous.

EVs are such a small amount of total miles travelled in the US, it doesn’t make sense to base new taxes on them.  Taxing the majority of users makes more sense, and would provide a far better value per implementation.  It would make so much more sense to add this into annual registration, than to come up with…

Some cars look like they are a single bowl cylinder, because it is just one bowl with a divider inside. I can’t imagine any car sold in America in ‘94 has a single bowl system. You are either incorrect, or not from around here.

When I needed to repair the master cylinder on my ‘66 Volvo, I faced the same question. Unfortunately, there is no handy kit that replaces these on the Volvo. I could have bought a dual circuit master and run all new lines. The concern that I had is that there is no way to know easily what the proper proportion is…

I trailered home an old 240z from Idaho to Portland. It had about a dozen different wasps nests in it. I didn’t see any movement from them when we loaded it on the trailer. After I got on the road, I could see wasps crawling out from all the panel joints. They would hang on for a while, and then blow off the surface…

My brother had an old Chrysler Laser without a functioning speedo.  He god pulled over by a cop and asked, “Do you know how fast you were driving?”  He laughed and said no.  The cop didn’t like that...

Back when I was fresh out of school, I bought an MG for $500. With a little bit of fixing, it became my daily driver. The scariest part was that on long city drives, the brakes would fade from overheating. (I remember working on the rear drums, but never the front discs) Whenever the brakes would fade, I would just…

I would paint it.  I took an old dark garage at my old house, and sprayed white paint on EVERYTHING.  It was amazing the difference in cleanliness and light.  I borrowed a sprayer from a friend and went to town with a couple gallons of white.  Adding things back in gave them contrast against the background and made…

I’ve had a similar lack of response from John Lennon.

Range anxiety is definitely a thing. I bought my off lease Leaf and worried for the first month I had it that I wouldn’t make it home one day. After testing the limits, I haven’t had any issues. I’ve never been stuck, and I never couldn’t go where I wanted. A couple times I forgot to charge overnight, and had to swap…

I bought one of these on a lark a couple years ago.  I like it so much that I don’t think we will ever be without an electric car as a family.  Now I just need to save to upgrade to an electric “fun” car.  It is a fantastic commuter for our family and stupid cheap to maintain/charge.

Have you ever driven a Trabant? I think that it would make most of your Jeeps seem luxurious and fast. I do love the Trabant, and drove one in the nineties a few times. They are a simple as simple gets, and have some rediculous features. They a loud and slow and cute. I can’t imagine parts availability in the US is…

My 1990 2WD Toyota pickup came both without a rear bumper and a passenger side mirror. After I paid off the truck, I saved up a couple hundred bucks and bought the optional bumper from the dealer. I installed it myself with eight bolts. (Two into the frame rail, two into the bumper support each side) The passenger…
