What a colossal waste of taxpayer money.

That’s one way to raise taxes without claiming an increase. Antics like this make no one safer, they simply increase the animosity between the police and the public.

Fiat promised a comprehensive lineup of vehicles for the USA, including Alfa Romeo. For the most part, these have not materialized. You can not maintain a franchise with just one vehicle (offered in various configurations). I owned several Fiats and Alfas back in the old days, the current lineup is all vehicles that

Yes, locking wheel nuts are a complete waste of time. They will not deter or even slow down a thief but will cause you lots of headaches when you have a flat on the side of the road, it is 3 degrees out, and you can’t find the key. I replace the locking nuts on all my cars with regular lug nuts.

This dumb arse should lose his license and his vehicle ... forever.

Hey, a first gen Toureg is the very model of reliability and value compared to say a Range Rover or Aston!

Bad news but the answer is an old VW Rabbit Diesel. I think I paid $1,500 for one, drove it 50k miles with no real repairs, sold it for $1,800 three years later. Biggest down side is that you have to drive a diesel rabbit.

Wow. This a-wipe deserves to get “touched” in prison every day for the rest of his pathetic life.

Yup, the same idiots who put obnoxiously loud pipes on their bikes “for safety” are usually the same clowns without helmets and earing shorts.

Anyone saying 2015 should be sentenced to driving just about any junk box from the mid 1970s for a year. Clearly they are too young to know how bad it really was.

It’s a car, it’s a boat. No, its an Amphicar!! You can drive down both the Schuykill Expressway and the Schuylkill River.

MIG or TIG welder. Take a nut and weld it onto whatever remains of the broken bolt by filling in the hole. Usually the heat alone will loosen things to the point that you can remove with your fingers. Works great on snapped Fiero manifold bolts.

Obvious answer. The Amphicar. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures in the Schuylkill River.

Still hard to top this story ...

Citroen CX or Porsche 928. Both equipped with electrical systems from hell.

Volkswagen Touareg V8. Alternator R&R almost requires engine removal. Even an oil change requires removing a bunch of belly pans to get to the two oil drain plugs.

A key rule when buying from a dealer. NEVER acknowledge you have a trade. Tell them you are absolutely NOT trading in a vehicle. Only AFTER you have worked your very best deal should you spring the trade in the dealer. They may then give you a real number instead of “stealing from the trade” but at least you will have

Just confirms my theory that society would be a better place if we automatically incarcerate anyone with a tattoo on their face.

Love the spider but the bumpers on these years really ruined the car. I owned when until someone said, “it has a monkey face”. Every time I looked at it after that, the comment resonated. Sold it shortly thereafter. The earlier and later versions are much nicer looking.

Back in the days of unions, companies could never get away with this sort of behavior.
