What (besides the atrocity that is HPD) causes that undeserved reaction? Houston is a great place! Sure it's hot, but it's texas. Everything is hot. Three seasons here: hot, wet, hot and wet.

Same in Houston, but Crown Vics. Serious pain in the ass. Shouldn't be allowed to cheat with these. Some of them will even rev at a stop light to entice you into a street race and then pull you over. Not quite entrapment, but still shady as fuck.

Looks like the High Energy Magic Building's gonna need to be rebuilt. Again.

Wondering why Lone Star isn't a couple spots higher. It's better than Miller Lite and PBR without question. Better than Coors by a slightly narrower margin. Never had the others ahead of it, but I'd wager they're not better by much if at all. Still oughta be in at least the 5 spot.

So switch to Lone Star (if you have the unrivalled fortune and pleasure of residing in the Lone Star State) - you get better beer AND pictograms!

Also, there is a lot of Texans on Jalopnik.

This. So much of this. Worse is when EVERYBODY is going around them and they don't think "Hey, maybe I'M the idiot here - I'll move over". Some Prius drivers are fine, upstanding people, but most seem to have a sort of entitled attitude about their driving that just pisses me right off.

CP - my last Volvo from that generation (850 Turbo) was a complete money pit, and started in that same general condition (though minus 3 of those 8 beautiful cylinders). Yes, the driveline was stock, but the problems were everywhere but in the driveline. I wound up spending >$18000 in repairs over 3 years on a car…

Purview. You mean purview, not prevue.

Frontage roads (also known as feeders or access roads) are the absolute best thing to ever happen on freeways. Lots of exits where you want them, when you want them, with easy access to stuff all the damn time. Texas has it right. I've heard there are other places with these, but I'm given to believe they're woefully…

"...So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds...."

VOTE: LEATHERMAN WAVE

This will be the first major three-cylinder engine in a regular passenger car since the last Geo Metro, unless there's something I'm missing.

It was also slightly out of alignment, so you actually had to sit and play it out.

And on this day, zero fucks were given.

What about the Yaris? It's pretty kart-y too. Sure it's only got 106 HP, but the accelerator is snappy and handling is surprisingly good on three wheels. Handbrake on mine still had real cables (none of that electronic nonsense) and my, did it like to wag the tail.

Me too.

And it looks like they forgot how perspective works with that shot from within Tranquility Park...
