$2.07 in TN this weekend. 

I had a buddy with a ‘68 Beetle back when that was just an old car who had fabbed a wooden surround to his gearshift with one cupholder and slots for cassettes. Wish I had a picture. This reminds me of that. Nice work.

If you keep saying mean things about it Fancy Kristen won’t let you ride in it. 

Steering stabilizer?

Any transverse mounted V6 or V8 is going to be a pain to change the rear plugs. 

I wish it was as easy to make a profit fixing cars as some people think it is. Maybe we could actually recruit new technicians.

Cadillac’s problem is in 2020 what it was in 1990. People who want one can’t afford a new one, and people who can afford one want something else. 

SDI did exactly what it was designed to do.

An FCA source confirms a new Dakota, but no details beyond that. It’ll ride on the Gladiator chassis. My guess is a long bed version aimed at commercial users, but that’s only my speculation. 

My dad cut the AC belt on our ‘67 Chrysler Newport to try to save gas. Ain’t no saving gas with a 383. He ended up buying a Dodge Colt. 

Hey now, he’s promoting vegetarian diets, which is good, and he’s had some great songs. He’s just wrong about climate change. Come on. Don’t be sad.

Hemis have a cam issue that pops up around 150k. It’s expensive to fix. 3.6 Pentastar with the 8 speed ZF trans (which is the same unit BMW uses) is a super reliable power train. 

Counterpoint: I know a master Mitsubishi tech who’s scrambling for flat rate hours because he doesn’t have any warranty work. The darn cars just don’t break, he says. 

Mississippi, New Mexico class. 

My dad was in the pacific for the last two years of the war, survived a kamikaze attack, was at the surrender, and his last car was a Dodge (Mitsubishi) Colt. It’s funny how different people react to things. Thanks to your grandpa for his service. 

My dad, a pacific war USN vet, took me to see the ‘76 movie. I was 12. There was a movie gimmick at the time called Sensurround that basically had a ton of woofers to make things vibrate and put you in the movie a little more. Once the action really got going it was too much for him. He went and waited in the lobby,…

I’m a big fan. Ta. 

Oof.

You do have to wonder where our allies are in terms of planning for a Trump re-election. It’s obvious to anyone that he doesn’t value democratic governments or America’s traditional alliances. It’s anybody’s guess whether he’d actually pull out of NATO or abandon the defense treaty with Japan, but would anyone be…
