A person who has “test vehicles” probably has a story worth hearing... Most of us just have “vehicles that I drive to work.”

I don’t think I got to comment on this. My first fun car was also my first car, a 72 MGB, which I got in 1984 and sold in 1985 or early 1986. I’d love to have another! Thanks to a perverse mental storage system and frequent parts ordering, I still know that car’s VIN: GHNUC289671.

Thoughts and prayers for the deer. “Fuck you” for the Tesla owner and Elon.

The styling would make it an absolute no-go for me.

Figure all repairs to the powertrain parts will be a Radio Shack project, but the rest of the car is a Hafei Saibao III, so if you have connections in China, you can probably get all the parts you want...

I heard rumors or wishful thinking, but no actual news that I noticed.  I’m pretty sure the links to other Kinja sites were at the top of the page yesterday; gone today.

I can think of at least one really excellent way for him to find that out.

From the headline, I thought some frat boys dropped a boulder off the roof of the frat house onto the Sprinter.

Yeah, I don’t tend to watch videos, especially at work. I read the post and the comments, and yours was the only mention of political affiliation that I spotted.

It never occurred to me that this asshole might be a Democrat, so I looked it up. You’re right, and he defeated his last primary opponent by 75% to 25%!  I found this on Ballotopedia; haven’t found the results of his previous election and now I’ve lost interest.  However, I see Ballotopedia does not have a photo of…

And on a sign in the window!

Neither DeLoreans nor electric vehicles turn me on, but I get a charge out of this electric DeLorean...

In a firefight, hide behind the batteries.

My kids were both a little tweaked when I bought my new GTI in 2018. They had both wanted a VW of some sort 10-15 years earlier when they started driving. I explained that my car was new, with a 6/72 warranty, while any car I bought for them back then would have been a 10-15-year old car, built in what one may…

I’ve been riding for ~34 years and mostly give a 2-finger wave, sometimes with my hand still on the grip, or close to it.  I’ve never thought much about what it means, or been given an explanation that I recall.

Unless I missed something, the Hurricane is a straight 6.

Some of the comments seem like more enthusiast-oriented cars than “normal” cars. I don’t get super-excited when I see them, but I have a fondness for Lexus Ls430s and non-bro-dozer, non-coal-rolling 94-01 Dodge Ram diesels (especially a 2wd dually).  And my wife’s 2024 CR-V Hybrid is really great.

TPA closed at 9 this morning. SRQ is staying open until their last scheduled flight today. I had a hell of a time Sunday trying to book a Monday flight out of TPA for my stepdaughter on Jet Blue. Every time I’d have a ticket ready to buy, the webpage said sorry, no longer available. So I’d book a different seat or a…

My work here is done.

What, you mean the Honda emblem?
