1st Gear: Wait, wasn’t it a few years back where they were getting in trouble for counting these kinda cars as being sold already? But now it’s not that they’re being counted as sold, but rather propping up factory numbers to close a merger.

the future of an EV jaguar/land rover seems like a non-starter - but that has never hurt them in the past

How’d the deer manage to spray paint the license plate while getting run over by your wife?

It’d be more responsible if they simply showed an AWD car climbing slowly and deliberately, although unwaveringly, out of a plowed-in parking spot. That’s really where these systems shine. No bombing around in a snow-covered tundra. Just climbing out of 6-8 inches of snow while pushing a bunch out of the way with the…

As long as you’ve got a decent set of wrenches and maybe a friend to help I reckon you’ll be able to remove the air freshener in not too much time.

The bull bars are another matter!

It’s interesting that they are bumping up against the ring and pinion for torque limit. I think back in the TJ era a Dana 44 was a helluva upgrade axle set, but given the weight and size gain of these things it sounds like they are just barely keeping pace. I think the Wrangler is getting the point where it can’t get…

I’m a *firm* beliver in, the best way to survive a crash is to avoid it. And the best way to avoid one is to be a better driver!

Damn fools, play paper to beat rocks.

As an electrical engineer, I think about copper all the time. I always call for its use in the buildings I design. Don’t cheap out on me and try to build with aluminum wire, because I will find out and I will report to the owner you’re a sleazy contractor looking to cut every corner to make a buck. And the owner’s…

Know what brand deserves to be un-made? Ram. There's no reason for Ram to be a separate brand, and everyone just calls it Dodge anyway. Just call it Dodge once more and you've already tossed one unnecessary brand.

But dat hood dough...

So, my very first car was a 1979 Cougar XR-7, in GREEN, with the white landau top and white vinyl seats. My grandparents bought it brand new, and were finally feeling inclined to let it go for something newer and with fuel injection...

I drink it. The point for me is that when I wake up I’m not three states away with a new tattoo and some explaining to do.

“Mustang-inspired” involves grafting a Ford Edge front end onto an Escape, apparently.

A “pay”wall?

Aaaaaaaand I’ll still never afford one.

Quattro is 4 in Italian, so no. Due doesn’t sound quite as nice though.

I’d have to know when to shift by making engine noises with my mouth.  

Now I’m gonna go out of my way to walk on your lawn.
