This is a good idea. I’ll be reading these and comparing them directly to C&D articles. Let the battle: BEGIN.

It’s been brought to our attention that many of you buy or recommend cars based on things that we say. To make it…
I hate low mileage cars. It just jacks up the price for no reason other than perception that the car will magically last longer. I find high-mileage to be comforting because it means the owners actually DROVE the car and typically highway mileage which is way easier on things than stop-and-go.
It’s worse with classic…
Everything else being equal... it’s all about who you’re buying it from. I’d buy a car with 200,000 from a fastidious owner over something with 50k from some jackass any day of the week.
Doooooo it! Honestly then you wouldn’t need to mess with the rust, the engine will grenade before you fall through the floor.
Take whatever dollar amount you think it’ll take to restore this 912 and triple it. Not a project for the under funded or over confident. I’m willing to bet there’s some hidden rust on that chassis and anything you cheap out on will bite you in the a$$ later on.
Why? This car is a fucking turd and a half. Replacing that 4 banger will cost 7-10k. Putting a proper air cooled flat six will be upwards of 10k. With such a shitty version of the car, I see no problem spending less and getting way more power.
Ok, I spent almost 2 fucking hours dehydrated trying to find the Jalopnik site. I didn’t know exactly where it was (blue Mazda 2). I asked a fuckton of people if they knew where it was. They all said “I don’t know”. And seriously, fuck Laguna Seca for selling water at 4$. At the end of the 2nd hour, I finally found a…
The rare one... So rare even the owner hadn’t heard of it he just knew who else had one.
I can feel how painfully awkward that was through my computer
Trying to sneak in the back way into the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance because we forgot our media passes like…
We’re coming home along the Thruway and decide to stop at McD’s. There’s a woman and smallish kid in front of us getting huffy and I can tell this won’t end well. And in due time she starts yelling at the cashier, “Why is everything more expensive here? This is ridiculous! You’re ripping people off!” and so on, as the…
Regarding the screaming woman in the pizza place: I did have an occasion once where my then 2.5 year old daughter asked me why some woman was yelling at an employee at my local grocery store. It gave me great pleasure to explain, very loudly, that the yelling woman was mean and nasty and probably very unhappy with her…
I could defend being in the position of dealing with a small child who is a picky eater. But that doesn’t mean it’s the restaurant staff’s responsibility to go out of their way to deal with it, too.
I used to work for a music producer who would get her power-trip stroked by sending back the food. Every. Single. Time. It didn’t matter what she ordered, where she was eating, or any other variable you can think of. This was just her way of saying, “I can bend others to my will” (probably because she wasn’t even on…
So how many people will crawl out of the woodwork to defend the “no grill lines people,” all of whom should never go out in public and order anything grilled?
Dear dining public:
I’m sure the people who can afford it will be very excited and can’t wait to burn out in a parking lot to show off before crashing into a pole/pedestrian.
$10 says its built on an aventador chassis. And will have a name that will make my auto-correct freak out every time I spell it.
You should change the oil and filter on ANY new engine after 500-1000 miles. Chevy also says you can go up to 10,000 miles on synthetic oil on a LS/LT engine. I still change my synthetic every 4000 miles normal driving or before every track day. Cheap insurance for your engine....
