He has a recurring segment where he talks about the cars he finds....on the streets.....in NYC.  Literally calling for an end to his own job.

There are about 3 streets that it would be feasible to close to vehicles where I live, and only 1 that would make any sense at all. Outside of that....nah, we’re not designed for it. there’s a bus system for some areas but doesn’t reach where I live. My house isn’t walkable to anywhere, and not really bikeable to anywh

Funny enough this is the dinner we’re having tonight.  My wife planned it this weekend and is in no way affiliated with this site

Cannot open door, exhaust pipes in the way.

Sometimes we get a little blue for some razzle dazzle!

Jezebel is where they tell you how sexist the books are, complain about the lack of LGBT content in them, then review Drag Race while complaining/gossiping about more Kardashian bullshit.  I want to support feminist causes but they don’t seem to want my help

Not a US car, I don’t keep up with the Euro market.  Maybe I should say they’re working on one for the US market

Yeah but the cube was not that successful to start with. Make it an EV and they’ll sell about 8 of them and regret the tooling cost later.

Where I live trucks from the ‘40s and ‘50s look better in their original condition. You can call it soulful, I call it a rusted heap.

If things go as planned I’ll have a new engine in next weekend. No time to mess around, this is my daily and I don’t want to play musical cars with my wife for months or have to drive her to and from work every day.

So that’s one sale, I don’t see many more for that particular model.

2010 Mazdaspeed3.  It had to have been the crank timing gear or cam timing gear(s).  The bottom end is in tact but all the valves are stuck full open.  This engine does not have a keyed crank and relies on friction washers to hold everything in place....I’ve driven one of these engines for 150k miles and never had

I’ve gone a year without a car payment and  I still like the car.  This seems to have been a bit of a freak thing, a new engine (well, new to me) shouldn’t have the same risk.  And if it does I’ll take it from there.  This swap is a one day job once I have the new mill and is by far the fastest way to get back on the

IMO the current fords look much better than the pre-facelift, the RAM looks a little worse (not bad) than the previous exterior but the interior completely makes up for it, and Chevy, as always, is butt ugly.  But chevy fans are going to buy them anyway.

Neutral: My car slipped timing this weekend. I had a tough decision to make about it and started looking at cars in the mean time, figuring this would be a good time to get into something newer.

I just listen to Chicken Fried on repeat

Fun fact: Gojira (the name) is making fun of the way Japanese actors say “godzilla” in the original movies.

I’ve never liked these cars (or porsche 914s), which is good because there’s no way I could ever drive one. I’ve stood next to them and they make every other car you’ve ever seen look huge.

A couple weeks ago we definitely ordered a trophy pizza to go and picked up a case of beers from them for a Friday dinner. It was a nice evening on our back deck

I’m not going to pay for that with the hard earned taxes from my unemployment check
