You should pre-judge everybody in a negative way, it saves time and is almost always confirmed down the line.

People don’t need labels for me to know I won’t like them. They're people. On the other hand, if somebody is wearing a Minutemen or Hodaka shirt, he might not be a total loss.

By then they were probably only TR8s.

Could that have been a Pontiac or Chevy whose owner got Holden bits to bring it back to its "real" brand?

I know times were tough in the UK in the '70s, but why would you go backwards with the rear suspension when you already had a perfectly good IRS? This makes me appreciate the TR6 that much more. But I guess I have to agree, getting this close to flipping the odometer has to be a good sign. I'd still hold out for a TR8…

You’ve never heard that before? It's true with British bikes too. Why do the English drink warm beer? Because Lucas made their refrigerators!

When I was young, the RITE of passage was to buy a hunk of junk for almost nothing and see how long it took to find out that you get what you pay for. But I never had anything repoed; most of my stuff hadn't had leins on it for a decade before I bought it, and it wouldn't have been worth the trouble to get it back.…

Ok, now you're implying there's a sketchy used car dealer and I just can't wrap my head around that.

You could have made yourself look better by saying, "I voluntarily sacrificed my favorite car just to show you meatheads why you never buy a used car from a flood zone. You're welcome."

I hope it says “Self-destruct sequence initiated...60...59..."

But it is good source material for the episode where Archer meets Lana's parents.

This thing is way longer than a BSR tone arm, so why isn't a penny enough?

Was just thinking: instead of throwing his weight in the trash, Bradley could sell it to the Top Gear guys, they can bolt it onto one side of a Reliant for maximum flip.

David knows everybody hates "moist."

You mean messed up at the drafting table like, “hey, we should take this super light, super short wheelbase off roader and make a commercial truck out of it, all we have to do is put the cab over the engine?"

A fourth generation 356 with slight, negligible modifications to everything but the engine & transmission?

What is all this? I’ve never owned a vehicle newer than 2006. Just pull the fuse and get an under-dash 8 track.

If you don't know Mojo Nixon, your store could use some fixin'.

When I lived in NYC, it wasn’t practical to change my own oil (you could say it isn’t practical to have a car in NYC, but I needed it for work) so I went to Broadway Bridge Oil Change, at the far far north end of Manhattan. I used them for years and never had a problem, and the free wash was a nice bonus. There was…

I always think of oil change places as the bottomest bottom rung of the auto service ladder, and almost all of them that I’ve dealt with have pits instead of lifts, and I’d be surprised if they offered tire rotation or would do it if you asked, even though it wasn’t on the menu. There are probably at least 3 tire…
