Had two that stick in my mind. First one:

Had a 81 Granada, HUGE POS that I used for a paper route car and after 20 days, it was used up (like most of the cars I used for that job - 180 miles in 3 hours daily on dirt roads in rural NH will kill a car fast). Put it out on the lawn with $150 on it, this was in 1995. Some…

Or unless the two Hondas you bought, both new, ended up being the biggest POSs you’ve ever owned (with a RAV4 and 635CSI being close second and third) - coming from a person who has also owned a Fuego, Fiero, Chevette, Volare, Manta, 3 Escorts, 2 Cavaliers, and a Vega...that says a lot about my feelings for Hondas -…

There’s something very cool about the lines of this thing, just enough out of proportion to be quirky without being completely ugly. The fact that it has the leaning tower of power in it just seals the deal for me. I’ve had everything from Hondas to Fuegos to BMWs to yes, a ‘77 Volare (don’t judge me, please). That…

No, the first thing I thought of when I saw the greenhouse is “THAT’S LOOKS LIKE AN E-BODY!!”

This thing just oozes testosterone. God, I want it. Badly.

I went from this:

I would question the validity of this as well. Police cars have certified speedometers for a reason, they can clock you on the move using the speedo and not the gun if they so choose. Can’t ask to see the gauges as a defense so the radar gun would I assume, also be invalid.

“NASCAR Camping World Truck Series director Elton Sawyer, who had to be extremely unamused that his series will feature the first infraction pertaining to a very obviously dangerous thing that you should never, ever do.”

This should be very interesting to see how this plays out. It’s rare in any racing series to have…

Plymouth Reliant:

While I like watching this (with the volume off, that song is annoying as hell), I struggle with the concept of drift ‘racing.’ Ummm. How do you win? Is it a race to see who can go the fastest slowly? Yes, loose is fast, but only to a point, then loose becomes slow. What if someone came to one of these ‘races’ with a…

16 years old, going for my driver’s test. I had been racing quarter midgets for a few years and karts before that so I knew how to handle something on four wheels. I take my written test then head out with the inspector to go for my driving part. We pull out of the DMV lot and head up the road at a nice steady 55mph.…

And in New Hampshire, the Live Free or Die state, the vehicle inspections are relatively thorough - tires, brakes, steering, lighting, body, frame, suspension, belts, operating doors, OBDII, etc.

One of the beauties of driving a 3/4 ton truck as a DD, I’m smog exempt so that high-flow exhaust that pisses off my…

I’m also originally from the Great North Woods (Whitefield). Back the summer after graduation, a buddy and I were riding our bikes (him on an RD400, me on a GPz550) when on Rt 3 between Whitefield and Lancaster, we came around a corner to see two of them walking across the road. No time to stop, I aimed for between…

Even cows can push 1200lbs with males reaching up to over a ton. The one my sister hit in 1986 was a cow that tipped in at 1187lbs, which was about 700lbs less than the 1972 Super Beetle she was driving.

Aw hell, anyone from that family could win in a Yugo. Shit, I think being badass behind the wheel is in the DNA, and AFAIK, Toyotas have been the weapon of choice for years - outside of that RX7 Rod battled against Buffum and his Audi.

Maybe he’ll talk his dad into the right seat. Nah, it would be a fight for the left…

I think most people who have never seen one in the wild have any frame of reference to just how big of an animal they are...and you’re exactly right, like an ox, they are MASSIVE in the shoulders.
For those who live outside of moose country, it’s not like hitting a deer unless it’s a young one. See the video below…

Ha. The moose probably did walk away, that looks like a relatively light hit for a moose collision since he hit it in the flank. Hit a moose dead on and it gets ugle. Very. Ugly.

Hell, where I live you don’t even see the next generation Prius often and it usually has OOS plates. I have never seen a Tesla in the wild either:(

This...

If you remember that day like I do, I also watched the NASCAR race. Dale Earnhart won. I know this without having to check the historical statistics. I remember he sending his condolences to the Senna family in his victory lane celebration. Rather ironic and sad, several years later we lost another legendary,…
