You got a better solution to assure improved transit projects and infrastructure? You can raise the gas tax all you want, but as long as the money keeps being diverting away to non-transit related projects, you’ve done nothing to fix the problem. Just dropping money on the government without demanding some degree of…

Probably does need to come up from that, but it isn’t going to do you any good at all unless the additional tax receipts are actually spent on DOT programs. If they raised it to $1/gal and then spent all of the additional receipts on, say farm subsidies, you aren’t getting anywhere. California did an interesting thing…

I think that’s fantastic. I’d even be OK if it was even going generally to transportation-related projects, like (in addition to road infrastructure) busses, ferry services, rideshare offsets, etc. that make transit generally better. (Hey, if people are on the ferry when I want to drive, that mans less cars on the…

I oppose raising the gas tax because the politicians keep raiding the gas tax receipts and shift that money into the General Fund for non-transit projects. Unless they are going to tie that money to transit projects, I’m opposed to giving them another nickel via a gas tax.

I had a dealer try that on my once about a used pickup. Gave me a whole thing about some guy trying to get his money together, blah blah blah. Price was right and I wanted to truck, so I figure I'll look past the BS and get it anyway.

I’m sad that next year we’ll be seeing this on the Jalopnik’s “10 Production cars you wished looked like their concept” list.

But at least they hid the rear doors on the concept, which was the right idea.

Tundras are actually made in Texas, so I have to assume there are a few rolling around.

Create chaos by inserting one more pilot who has the call sign "Dudebro."

Use the "give it to someone who can use it" system. Find another family member that wants/needs the item, and give it to them. When great aunt Mabel comes over and asks here her piggy salt shaker is, tell her you lent it to her granddaughter to use in her new apartment because she misses family. Sometimes, that…

I'd probably end up spending a lot of time playing with the box it comes it in.

What's going on over here?

Oh, I'm with you. I've got a DSG transmission fluid-loading tool that I hope to never use again but I will have in my tool kit forever. (Also, F-you Audi. Thanks for making a fluid reservoir that fills from the bottom.)

Oh, I'm sure another wave will come in the future. The problem is the car is just so over-engineered that everything works in concert, which is cool when it does work, but when it breaks, it is disastrous.

I'm so torn by my Audi: It breaks so much, but now that I've fixed everything once, I know how it all works, own a VAG-COM and all the stupid Torx and Tripple-Square tools, and really have a feel for it. I found myself looking at another A3 for sale a few days back and going: "Well, at least I know how to fix it and…

I tend to agree that those shows are a little too "dirty laundry out in public" kind of thing for me, but if someone, say, really needs their car to get to work and the show is a guaranteed way to get your $2000 back, it might be worth it to some people.

As for my advice, it is pretty anecdotal at best. I've known a…

Jeep: "No. We won't. But have you considered a nice Compass or Renegade? Trail tested!"

It's a little pricey, but you can kinda buy one.

I know this was a joke, but it can be a good deal for you if you think the defendant is judgment proof (broke) and will act an ass in front of a TV audience and the "judge." Remember that what they are looking for is a "I can't f-ing believe this guy" reaction from the audience and to give something for the judge to…
