Because that’s the way local zoning laws and codes work. It ensures someone doesn’t build something improperly/unsafe/illegally. You pay the fee, the town reviews the plans, says “yup, these are within the allowable/required codes and building regs, good to go” or “nope, make X modifications and all will be good”. Its…

There are three long time dealers near me two of which are close enough to not worry too much.  Its a good point though!

IMHO, this is the only acceptable headlight mod for Jeeps.

In general I avoid the established or big event type car shows for many of the reasons in the slide shows, so I usually stay local at the cars and coffee type meet ups. The local ones I go to usually get some weird (JDM Kei Convertible), obscure (‘54 chevy with multi carb straight 6) or just funky (lifted 96…

that’s an interesting point to know!  thx

I’m a 2020 CX-9 owner and we mostly love the vehicle. I especially liked the exterior styling and the way it drove. It is immensely comfortable on long haul road trips. We just moved my daughter to college and it fit all her dorm room stuff in there (though we did have a top box). My only niggle is Mazda’s insistence…

THIS! Everyday use and maintenance and the odd niggle will surely come up but I haven’t heard of any catastrophic type failure prone items on the Giulia’s/Stelvio’s like say the Hyundai/Kia 2.4 motor. Audi has their 2.0Turbo issues, or carbon build up on the direct injection models, BMW ... well BWM..., and all the…

I’ve been itching to get a Giulia since it came out. Now that the used car market has dropped them to my affordability range, I am very tempted especially if I spend the extra couple $K’s and buy used from a dealer. I think the only one’s that ever had “issues” were the first year Quadrifoglio’s and I’m not in the…

Maybe thats a good thing for my beloved Alfa’s.  Less bad press.  Maserati and Jag, pfft...

How is it possible Land Rover didn’t make this list?  Did they break down on the way?

Maybe its because they aren’t spending as much on their catering budget anymore.... and got restricted on just how much they can eat that has affected them.  IYKYK.

I understand Stance’d cars may be waning, but there are few hold overs in my area that choose to head out and drive slow (because they’re unsafe at any speed?). I get that it is an aesthetic choice but you have just ruined the car’s ability to handle.

I’ve been riding (non HD) motorcycles for over 35years and hands down they are the worst offenders. Just this past Saturday I’m eating dinner al fresco with my family at a nice place in a decent size northeastern city, and dude comes ripping down the street and on purpose, rev bombs and makes the bike back fire hard…

Came here to say the same. I hate that generation of Ford interiors. All hard, shitty plastic with zero design esthetic. I had a first gen Focus and the interior had some style to it (love it or hate it) that I personally liked.

All those GM interiors shared so much across all their brands. Aside from the obvious like the radio, alot of the switchgear is carried over and even the steering wheels are just barely rebadged.

nicely played. Star for you! lol

that would be awesome! Especially if they contracted with each of the company’s to be towed by their competition!

My other vote would be for Peugeot’s 504's. I remember watching alot of those nature films taken in Africa and if it wasn’t a Land Rover it was a Peugeot being used to ferry people around the various corners of the unpaved paths. I got spend three summers in Tuscany/Umbria behind the wheel of one of these wagons…

A Landy! I mean they’ve been made in so many flavors and configurations and are damn near unkillable while being mechanical mountain goats.

I grew up back in those days of riding in the back of my little league coach’s pick up to go get celebratory hot dogs. Best part was the time we’d catch air going over the railroad tracks in town... otherwise it was a scary ride. I also lived through the shift from no belt requirement to mandatory belts. This was…
