I remember. Ad was better than the car. Having Charlie's angels drive them didn't hurt sales I imagine.

Mini is hardly unique in using cartridge filters. They’re just in a goofy place. Make sure whoever you take it to has done it before and you’ll be fine. I don't like them because they've time consuming and you can't really charge more for the service because most people don't get it. You're the exception, and welcome…

Stop driving that Honda until you get a tire. That's a blowout looking for a place to happen. And also your vibration.

Really? I get em same day fairly often. Guess it depends on your local O Autoance.

I firmly believe that there is a market for a super basic dependable car in the US. And frankly I don’t know why it couldn’t be safe too with modern materials and manufacturing techniques. Tune frame construction maybe, with easily removed plastic body panels. Make the engine modular like the old Tucker ; take it out,…

Came for this, not disappointed.

An example but not necessarily the only one

Totally awesome. Good on you for sticking with it.

If there were a sedan I could sit in comfortably, see out if, and had an accessible trunk I might buy a sedan. As it is a crossover makes more sense on a DD basis for most people.

That looks like it was fun. Here in the US if you drive 5000 km you’re in....the US.

And then the ones that went to the buy here pay here lots show up at my shop, and we give their owners estimates to fix all the crap wrong with them. And these estimates are generally a multiple of what the car is worth and a fraction of what they owe.

I understand the oil pans had additional baffles to prevent all the oil from sloshing forward. Of course that may have contributed to the Vega’s notorious oil starvation issues.

Unfortunately it seems your government is more far sighted than ours in the US.

If by that you mean FA should be a featured stand alone blog like Jalopnik, Lifehacker etc. then I totally agree. Tyler's work deserves it.

3.0 Vulcans require the oil pan to come off to change the timing cover gasket, which is common. And of course the whole cam synchro issue on these too.

ISIS’ sole claim to legitimacy is the notion of the caliphate. If they can't control land then they have failed. As much as no one wants to see it, a ground offensive will ultimately be required to deny them control of territory. I'm sure you could get plenty of French volunteers to lead that assault right now.

12 miles from the coast of the natural, existing, populated for centuries continental homeland does not equal 12 miles from a bunch of rocks dumped in the ocean last week for a military garrison to enforce ridiculous territorial claims that no one in the world recognizes.

If the refugee crisis is overwhelming Europe then I think it’s reasonable to expect Europe to take a leadership position in dealing with Syria. It doesn’t look like that is the case.

This is cool, and I think these are good looking cars that have a design that’s aged well. I hope he enjoys it.

I'm sure this will be a great car for what it is. A big American luxury car. The problem with Cadillac is that people who can afford 60-80k for a car don't want domestic and people who want the caddy name can't afford the car.
