Last year a couple of friends and I did a Top Gear cheap car challenge, buying cars in SoCal and driving them up the coast to Seattle. I chose an abused Alfa Spider for $3k ($500 over budget) because I figured if I wasn’t going to make it anyway, I couldn’t think of a prettier convertible to be stuck on the side of…

If a car isn’t getting chopped immediately, it will be sent to a country that doesn’t give a shit about not having a title.

Trying to resurrect my first car after it sat under a tree at my mechanics for 10 or so years. I had to pay more than a perfectly working model with less miles to get it back, but whatever. It is MY Saab.

Oh man... I really need some of these for Halloween...

The 99.9% chance is because nearly all SLs are auto. I’ve seen like... one that was a manual. Sad because otherwise I really like them.

At the airport valet they’re supposed to have your car waiting when you get off the shuttle, but mine wasn’t. I walk over to the desk and politly give them my ticket. A few seconds later a see surly youth A walk over to where my car is, just out of view.

Without comment.

Considering how “well” those “pretty” aftermarket looking wheels fared, I would also reconsider my wheel choices.

Came here to post that. It looks like an early 2000s 2D Accord to me. That said (thanks to the magic of wikipedia) I have now learned the new civic is 10.7" shorter than the aforementioned Accord, though the wheelbase is very similar.

I plastidipped my dune buggy a few years ago and was really impressed with the quality of the finish. It was matte and, as @Nrstanley9 noted, things tended to cling to it. I spent a good amount of time rubbing out a mud splash I left on there for too long, but it did, eventually, come out. For the price it was…

I suspect David Tracy could use the rust remover. Might buy two, jic.

No option to link to motor oil or Sea foam? Anguish.

I love him just casually opening the door like it clearing the bed by what looks like only a few millimeters is no big thing.

Because towing a car would also be a form of punishment, would be my guess. Towing companies are right up there with... uhhh.... damn I swear I had something for this...

Trolling?

I don’t understand the hate for auto-headlight, but apparently it exists. I therefore support your suggestion with one modification: turn of a “HEADLIGHTS (NEED TO BE) ON” warning when the lights are off and the car thinks they should be on. Doesn’t punish people with an ugly message unless they’re driving with only…

Well you are providing two very good services:

I currently own a 1999 and love it. All of its shortcomings are to be expected. Also it is easy to work on, parts are cheap, and it has heated seats, rear AC, and a push-button transfer case.

Though my International was way worse. Thing broke *literally* (not figuratively) every time I took it more than a mile from the house.

I’ve owned two Hondas in my life, one of them bought with 44 miles on the clock. Neither were reliable, neither were easy to work on.
