I always wanted one of those Eastwing hammers and bought one with my second house- lost it two weeks later- I got one for Christmas that year and guarded it jealously- come June I was working on the bathroom window and saw hanging on the gas pipe my old hammer- the shaft a bit rusty but otherwise okay- 25 years later…

Had the front bumper of one of my cars off one time, a car that I had bought brand new and up to that point no one except the factory had touched it......

The 13mm socket as well.

You really can’t emphasize this enough, outside some niche forums (and even those tend to devolve into flame wars pretty quickly) this really is one of the only places on the internet that the comment section is actually a discussion, with our corny jokes and puns thrown in of course ;). I’ve learned so much and seen…

So to mirror what PG was talking about. I just went a read an article on a major website about a non-car related thing. I didn’t fully agree what what was said, but I did see the argument. Then I made a fatal error and went to the comments to see what people thought about that.

The ex-gawker sites are pretty much the only places where reading the comments is not just suggested, but pretty much required. Thank you for fostering that community, and thank (the royal) you all for writing what other places couldn’t and wouldn’t.

You’re very welcome and once again, good luck. It’s the cheapest way to own a Ferrari, If that helps ease the trouble a bit :) Most of the above repairs would have already been taken care of, as Maserati’s are mostly driven by folks who have good money to spend on maintenance, or are skilled enough to tackle them and…

Well, I won’t be able to keep this reply short, but I’ll try :) Maseratilife.com is a great resource If you want to know more about the “common” problems. My QP was a 2005 model with the Duo-Select transmission (SMG). They are generally very reliable, as the V8 was made by Ferrari, and Ferrari does not play around…

Get a Maser with the 4.2-4.7 and a manual/automatic. If you avoid the cambiocorsa, they are reliable cars.

I agree with the point but can’t bring myself to star anything with that dude in it.

This is automotive nirvana. Hear me out. I used to have the same car, same color, 5 speed, same wheels etc. It might be FWD, but I’d be lying If I said It didn’t drive beautiful. While It is true that you MUST own an Alfa (older one) to be considered a true petrolhead, the 164 is a great compromise between old and…

Redundant theft deterrent systems spotted.  

What the hell, Nice Enough Price!

Makes me wonder if the philosopher also cautioned against seriously monkeying with the products to remove everything that made them worthwhile and attempting to force the workers to only produce the new, tasteless, bland variety. That’d almost be enough to trigger a mass walkout, probably leave the formerly successful…

Of *course* they’re from Colgate. Of course.

Call it a Lexus and sell for 2x.

when huge swaths of the American mainstream wage earners cannot reasonably afford mainstream American new cars, and another large group can only afford ONE of their cars to be new...

It’s ok to not like the choices people make. 

Its a car I liked and my wife hated the way it looked. We got a Jetta sedan. And that’s also why its dead. If you can’t recruit sedan holdouts...

It has more to do with the image that people want to portrait themselves as. In the 50's and 60's working class people who had “made it” wanted to display how well they were off now by buying a coupe or a luxury sedan. That’s why all the luxury marks, all the Cadillacs, Lincolns and luxury Chryslers came in these body…
