At first blush: Inline 6, versatile, rare enough to be unique, and just around $5k (could probably negotiate to an even $5k) equal an automatic NP in my book

I have an unhealthy lust for a manual turbo flavored model... but I can’t justify spending $12k on a car with 207,000 miles just because :(

Of all these stories, this one is my favorite! The only thing that could’ve made it better was if Mr. Flirty’s patron had some connection with the Marilith (or was the Marilith!)

It’s the NASCAR conundrum, isn’t it? Smaller, shorter tracks are the most entertaining; but because they’re smaller, they have fewer seats available. Granted, ticket sales are at a low point (and some tracks have actually removed grandstands in order to appear to have sold more tickets) but in their mind bigger tracks…

David Tracy’s rusty Jeep addiction?

I’ve been curious as well because, well, frankly, I’m in a similar situation. We’re living in our own place, and she’s only been unemployed for close to a year; but everything else is quite similar. I’m concerned because my paycheck doesn’t cover all our bills, and her not working has drained our savings to nothing.…

• What about bugs? I moved from Florida to Oregon, where there aren’t many bugs.

For me, I have to draw a definitive line on what “While you’re in there” means. I can easily rationalize doing a full engine rebuild when all I originally needed to do was replace a head gasket because “I was already in there”. Generally, I draw the line at cheap wear items, items that are known to have a shorter…

A media website saying “The Problem Isn’t Media Coverage Of Semi-Autonomous Car Crashes” sounds a lot like Paul Ryan saying “The Republican party isn’t the problem here!”

I’ve really wanted to start experimenting with electric-powered cars, so I’ve been trying to convince my wife that all I need is a used Nissan Leaf in order to get to-and-from work. Maybe this will finally convince her...

I had a ‘95 Subaru Wagon that everyone seemed to hate on because it wasn’t a WRX. It was slow as hell, but it got me from A-to-B with no fuss - it even got me across country with everything I owned at the time. Around 175,000 miles, the car started making this high-pitched squeak every time I let off the throttle to…

Yup, I’ve interviewed for jobs that seemed promising only to find that “all” their employees are 1099 “contractors”. I got suckered by that once - never again.

My first time visiting there really threw me off. Like, you walk everywhere, sometimes you can take a train, and you can buy beer for a few silver coins (or in some cases, a bigger gold one). It’s like you’re in the 1800's; yet at the same time there are video screens everywhere and you’ve got the Hitchhiker’s Guide…

You’re never going to beat the Beatles by doing Beatles covers. You gotta be the Stones.

Of course this comes out just days after I return from Japan! Oh well, looks like I did well regardless! I came back with a bottle of Yoichi Single Malt, and would’ve got a bottle of the Yamazaki 12 year if I could find one! The hotel bar’s menu stated they sold bottles of the stuff, but they only had one left and it…

This this this this!!! The biggest reason I fell out of love with wrenching is because things in life got to the point that my weekend projects were “I have to fix this so I can get to work on Monday” rather than “I’ve been wanting to upgrade/modify this system, and now seems like a good time to do it”.

I am mildly disappointed that you didn’t photoshop one of the smaller monitors to have Galaga on it.

I saw one of these on the road for the first time yesterday. It looks really nice, and my wife (who normally can’t tell a Camaro from a Camry) even said “woah, what is that? I wouldn’t mind one of those someday!”

It’s coarse and rough and... wait, this isn’t Reddit! 

Yeah, you’re the whole reason I started saving garlic skins and various vegetable peels. My wife thinks I’ve lost it, but then demands to know what I did different to make such awesome soups.
