This is good Oppo car stuff. I’m going to need to take a long, hard look at my life before my next car purchase now...

Hmm but could you still sell a potato ricer? (Yes, but I wanted to further highlight the absurdity.)

I’ve owned mine (pictured above, now sans horrible wheels) for four years and it has been (mostly) trouble free. Some repairs from past abuse, but overall Bosch L-Jet is pretty bulletproof. Drove it 2,200 miles after buying it in pretty sorry shape and it didn’t miss a beat.

Alfa Spider? Basically the Miata’s cool Dad.

I went into the Samyang Foods 2x Spicy blind about a month ago. I like spicy stuff and I like instant ramen, but am so frequently disappointed by the spice levels in things I wasn’t expecting much. Cooked it up and yeah... it kicked my butt. The post-spice euphoria was so good.  Love this stuff now.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. Everything is fine! >_>

Ok now I’m wondering what kind of crazy sun visors one could fab with a laser cutter, 3D printer, and too much time on the internet.  My Wagovan sure could use some new visors...

I have the (mis)fortune of living in a city that has a lot of good restaurants, but few great ones. When faced with a situation like this I “put the restaurant in time out”. Basically if it ever gets suggested to go to, I get to say “they’re in time out” and briefly explain why and for how long. This provides me with…

How is Andrew doing?

More importantly, what company would look at 22% of their sales and say “yeah... fuck that”?

Okay, so it ended up not being just a re-badged Jeep Renegade as some Geneva Motor Show pictures seemed to imply. That’s a good thing.

Apparently Lawrence PD is nicer than I am. I would have had them both ticketed and towed.

Can confirm. We used YourMechanic to do a PPI on a POS my friend bought. The report was thorough and enough to tell him not to buy the car. (He did anyway, but that is another story.) They did misdiagnose and miss a few things on the suspension, but without being able to get the car on a lift that isn’t surprising.…

First off: I agree plastic windows are shit. However, as far as I can tell the reason is size. At least on my Alfa the rear window folds with the top. The enables it to fold into a very small package, keeping the parcel shelf useful, even with the top down. I managed to fit a medium-large suitcase and a backpack back…

+1 for the Performer.  Also 110% worth spending the extra on the gas ignition and the cast iron sear grate.

I was confused the first time I heard someone describe a car as “minty,” as in is in mint condition.

Good show.

I’ve been daily driving a Honda this week. This Honda, to be specific.

Or 114... or whatever.

Also 85 hp out of any engine, let alone an air cooled one, in 1937 is... a lot. It almost sounds like a typo.
