I had a ‘93 Honda Accord sedan that was almost to 200k when I got rid of it.

My step dad had a truck just like the first one pictured too, same color. He bitched and moaned about the refresh, swore up and down he was going to get a GMC instead, comes home with a new ugly Silverado anyway.

The Silverado GMT800 mid-cycle refresh for one. 

Automatic No Dice from me. Hummers are synonymous with assholes. Maybe a nice price for someone that is an asshole and wants everyone to know that they’re an asshole.

GMC is also running the “I got you a little something” ad which shows the husband whistling for the puppy he got her wife, then the wife (“I got you a little something too”) whistling for the Sierra she got the husband. The privilege is strong in these ads for sure.

I’ve been all over the place. I’ve had three Fords, two Hondas, two VWs, one Chevy, one Nissan, one Subaru, one Hyundai, and one Mazda.

The carpet stains in the back below the rear-facing third row seat makes me think that well has been full of water before.

These are good. Mixing chocolate chips in with the butterscotch chips...even better!

For me, probably a good chunk of cars that Jalop writers and readers pine for...simply because I’m too damn tall (6'6", 36" inseam) and can’t fit. Tried to sit in a Miata once at an auto show...hahaha! Couldn’t even swing my legs in under the steering wheel.

I’d be willing to bet the Daihatsu version folds like an accordion in a crash though. 

Is this what you’re thinking of?

My first car was an ‘85 Crown Vic. Baby blue, white vinyl roof, wire hubcaps, whitewall tires. That thing soaked up the bumps of Michigan’s terrible roads like nothing I’ve driven since. From driving standpoint, obviously not that engaging. However, it was stupid fun in the winter after a fresh snow in an unplowed…

I’ve got a coworker that recently registered his early 2000's Lexus in South Dakota because no matter what he did, he couldn’t get his car to pass the Gateway Vehicle Inspection Program emissions test (OBD, not tailpipe) in Missouri. He found out SD is one of the states that will register a car to just about anyone.…

Seeing this post makes me wonder what would’ve happened if I had kept my 2011 Golf TDI 6MT. It had about 115,000 miles on it at the time of the buyback, but the $17k+ offer was hard to pass up.

I’ve gone from halving, to quartering, and now I shred them. I season with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion. Sometimes I also toss in some uncooked sliced thick-cut bacon if I have some on hand. Similar bake temp and time as you described.

I agree, I’ve always liked the bridge plates. Not really a fan of the new standard plate though. I preferred the old school white on blue that existed for the better part of two decades.

Depends on if we’re talking standard or special cause plates. If we’re talking standard, I’ve always been a fan of New Mexico plates. The alternate red over yellow not pictured is solid too.

I can’t find much on it, but I remember several years ago reading that the HHR was one of the most complicated vehicles GM ever assembled. The hood design required several stamps to form its shape and the round tail light openings were also complicated to stamp and cut. 

5th Gear: It usually seems that union negotiations take less time in Canada. It has to help that healthcare doesn’t have to be on the table. 

1980, so I’d say a Mercedes W123 preferably in wagon form.
