Every shop. Every. Single. Shop. Will have mixed opinions. If more than one person has ever used that shop, there will be mixed opinions. John Whoever with his C5 who cheaped out then had it break again will lie to his wife about it and Betty Jo will go write a bad review and tell all her friends in the Corvette Club…

Is there some magical reason they couldn’t break the damn window? I know it’s safety glass, but it’s not impenetrable...

Oooh, that is a super grey area, much beyond reaching in and turning off headlights in a convertible. I would say yes but ONLY on very simple things like this and with the understanding of not only buying a replacement if you break it but living in Deep Eternal Shame Of Fucking Up Another Person’s Ride if you hurt the…

Has anyone ever introduced you to our Lord and Savior, the Fiat 500 Abarth?

That’s cute. A friend of mine has a GLH-S TRUCK that is officially recognised by Shelby. Yes, it is mind boggling.

Average size dude can’t see out? Welp, my 5'4" ass ain’t gonna have any luck then.

Mine is a little confusing. I sold my first car after moving into central Denver because having a car on Cap Hill is generally more of a pain than it’s worth. I didn’t bother to replace it but I soon met a guy who showed up in a generic Lancer and shacked up with him fairly quick. He too realized having a car on Cap…

A friend of mine is a driver (conductor?) for these trains and it is alarmingly common for them to have near misses or actually hit cars and people. It certainly worries me for the psychological effects on the drivers.

Meh, it’s manageable with your mirrors set up properly. Some people have taken to flipping their rear view mirrors upside down to get a wider field of view out the back too.

I am a goth, so no.

Please allow me to introduce you to your new low-end lord and savior, the Fiat 500. Who needs a recession era car when depreciation combined with boomers *still* riding the 40 year old “fix it again Tony” bullshit train (fun fact, all cars from the 70s were unreliable pieces of shit compared to today!) can bring you a…

If my mirror falls off I can just replace it with one from Auto’reilly’s, whatever. If a camera breaks, I gotta try to fix that shit and I deeply dislike electrical. Hard pass on cameras.

It will not come to the US because the 500 has been discontinued, remember? Also, as the owner of a 202whp Abarth, it probably drives pretty normally. That or else I’ve grown numb to driving a nest of angry hornets. I do like the spoiler though. In the Year Of Our Lord 2019, when active aero has been around for ages…

It would be too boring if everything worked properly!

Sacramento traffic at rush hour is mild-moderate on a city scale. Non-peak it's surprisingly not awful. I had to make a beat-the-grim-reaper drive that involved traversing Sacramento a year and a half ago and it was that smooth sailing that allowed me to make it in time to say goodbye. Ok, and pulling 120 through…

I am a total masochist, but not quite a millionaire. Even though these are really only meh-level Corvette money.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Abarth adoration! Tiny but mighty is the name of the game. Tiny but mighty cars and tiny but mighty group of people who love and drive them

Today is my friday and here I sit for the last hour of my day, killing time with yet another round of Torch poo stories...

That’s one of my huge fears when driving my C3 Vette. My head is directly at bumper height to a lot of pickups. Driver side t-bone in that and it’s game over.
