As an arachnophobe, the worst part of reading that sentence was reading the one immediately after it.

My local Kiwanis club here in Burlington, Wisconsin does the same thing every year with a gutted-out Pontiac Grand Am on Echo Lake. I drive past it every morning on my way to work

“This was a triumph.

I put about 107K on it. Final odometer reading was 188,571

Nah after plenty of thought it’s already been given a successor. My dad runs a mobile upholstery repair service and one of the used car lots he does business with had an impossibly clean ‘07 GMC Canyon stripper work truck for an honest price back in December (so it was “Merry Christmas to myself”). 180K miles, only 8K…

It was a manual too. I learned how to drive stick in that truck. New Venture NV1500 5-speed. I know because a few years after I bought it, the synchro for 5th gear began to give up. My dad and I spent a weekend on his garage floor changing it out with a functioning secondhand replacement, as well as replacing the…

Yeah. I live in the southeastern corner of Wisconsin and the last few years the WisDOT has been very liberal with their road salt usage. I washed it religiously and it barely seemed to help. That and the tiny 2.2L Vortec I4 was running out of strength to give, but, I mean, c’mon...it’s an S10. World’s most common…

It’s not though... :’(

I literally just got home from leaving my beloved 1998 Chevrolet S10 of over 12 years and 107,000 miles at the salvage yard and this article pops up in my Facebook feed.

I forget the specifics and can’t be arsed to look them up with the last 5min ofmy lunch break, but to my knowledge Jaguar was actively selling a car that was all-wheel drive and made a gazillion horsepower from a huge engine and would be capable of two-thousand MPH or some such...before much of any of the concept work…

Everything about the XJ220 should be written down as a case study in not letting the sales/advertising department get in before engineering/design department is done. Great car ruined by stupid management.

I can still hear the noise the old stand-up arcade cabinets made when you crashed...

Still the best looking supercar ever made. Such a shame that their place in history is to be remembered as a marketing disaster.

“None”, is the correct answer.

Well for one because I live in Wisconsin, where for most of the year it’s so cold that plastic bumpers tend to shatter rather than dent.

Our parking lot at work is extremely tiny and even my little ‘98 Chevy S10 pickup has to take its time leaving at the end of the day. I accidentally backed into one of the concrete poles guarding an electrical transformer a few months ago.

Became a fan of Supercars after a friend got me involved in driving them on iRacing, been a SuperView subscriber for over 5 years now. Service is worth every penny. Not sure I could justify the price just to watch Bathurst, but if you want to see the whole season or even some of it (whether live or on demand),…

Hate to be “that guy”, but when you ask for a gathering of FnF fans...

I’ve had that same cover (just the more budget-friendly “TruXport” version) on my ‘98 Chevy S10 since I got it in 2007 and I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. Best $200 I ever spent on this truck.

I have a 1/36th scale R/C car, a full sink, and a dumb idea...
