Gotta love Russian chicks.

I looked at one of these about three years ago. V6, big capacity, Honda etc. But dammit it's ugly as homemade sin. Felt like Mr Badger here...

If it's Boeing, I ain't going!

Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna.

To be fair, airline toilets are much better designed to keep the smell out of the cabin then bus toilets which are basically a hole in the bus to a tank.

My first job after high school was draining airplane lavatories. My thoughts are with the poor bastard draining that one.

Honestly, I'd watch the shit out of a Figure 8 School Bus race.. Then again, I'd watch just about any Figure 8 race.

no honorable mention for semi drag racing?

Can we just go ahead and relabel this post "The ten best motorsports that I wish I could see more often on TV"?

I feel like you are the least redneck Jalop correspondent, being European and all. But good list nevertheless! haha

I literally don't even know where to start. I work in a restoration shop. Enough said.

It's not technically maintenance, but what the hell... if you own an old car you are going to need to replace this at least once, and 99.85 % of the time they are a MONSTER PITA. I can't tell you how many times I have looped a heater hose only to be stuck removing an entire dash assembly in late fall when I can no…

Any in-tank fuel pump....especially when a ton of rust is involved.

1995 GMC Safari. Any maintenance because of that ^%$# fan shroud. There should be an episode of Modern Marvels about how they fit all that stuff in the engine compartment.

Evaporator cores especially, heater cores on some cars, and their associated hoses. I swear the entire interior is built around either/both of those 2 items, and everything surrounding them is fragile yet sharp plastic, held by 1,000,000 fasteners, or has long since fallen apart into a fine dust (foam/deadening) or…

Rubber rot. At some point in an older vehicles life, everything rubber has dried out and become brittle. Weatherstripping, hoses, belts, gaskets, bushings(especially body bushings), and too a lesser extent seam seals. Unless you can afford a ground off the frame restoration, you just replace them as you go. Bonus…

Aside from the whole safety thing, old cars have a different sense of reliability. In the context of new cars, reliability means you never have to take your car to the shop ever. In the context of old cars, reliability means that if you perform routine maintenance, you'll only have to go to the shop when dammit…

The 3er is boring? I'm not sure what to say. It is dynamically one of the best sports sedans ever built. The i3 has been roundly panned as boring to drive. And in 328dT trim, it's useful and can take people and things places. Far places.
