I’ve told this story (in various lengths) many a time on this website but why not once more with a few more details?

I wanted an offroad rig. Something I could use for camping. Something that was kinda serious about going offroad. No, not a jeep, a real offroad rig. Something rugged and mostly indestructible. My

Huh...I hadn’t thought of that.  Thanks for the reply!

Well I was thinking I probably couldn’t even fit my 2 year old in there and he certainly wouldn’t know to pull that handle unless I taught him...but I suppose I was being a bit discriminatory against people smaller then a 2 year old...  I was not thinking of the little people...

Guess I’m the outlier. I always go hunting for switches and levers. I want to know how it all works before I go far in any new car. Not victim blaming here. I get how this can happen, and it is sad that it does. Would probably make more sense to have the emergency switch in a more obvious location...like most

I wish this was a thing here. We have zero actual police cruisers excluding the sheriff. Most of them drive blacked out 4runners with no light on top. All of them have the lights in the grill or behind the glass. This makes everyone panic at the sight of any 4runner...and of course, they are hugely popular here.

Same in Hawaii.  Diesel is more expensive then premium.  Still, it is significantly cheaper to run a full size diesel pickup vs a full size gas pickup.  Small cars have closed the economy and power gap but big ones still have a ways to go.  This does not count the premium cost on the motor though, although the big

So I’m with all these guys complaining.  Here me out here.  I don’t hate ice cream but I do hate hypocrisy.  If I drove my truck around residential neighborhoods playing the same annoying song on a shitty PA system loud enough to hear inside people’s closed up houses, I deserve to have the cops called on me.  This is

Not sure about normal but my favorites so far are (in no particular order):

I’ve been playing since vanilla and, for some reason, I care exactly zero about this expansion. I’ve got a couple 120s, I’ve been through the regions...and I’m back to xmog hunting quick, fast and in a hurry. I just wasn’t able to get into any of the story line. I don’t care about any of the people. After battling

Oh damn, I missed this one. Mr Biggs above mentioned traffic in Hawaii, specifically Oahu and I have been in a couple nasty traffic jams there.

Oh that wasn’t an attack on the person asking the question, just a rant on the journey as a vehicle. I know everyone has a different situation and by no means am I putting the person down for having one.  I’ve been in the situation of driving something I didn’t like or want but had no choice.  No judgement on anyone’s

Since a dodge journey is mentioned, can anyone explain to me how that car even exists?  Its third row seat is a joke, it is barely bigger than my old TDI sportwagen, its fuel economy is pathetic, even by 90s standards (seriously, I got 13 in mixed driving for over a week), it isn’t particularly comfortable and it

Have you ever seen any commercial?  Lies and predatory practices are standard in every advertisement.  It should all be illegal.

I’m with you on that. I have RAM 2500, not because I thought an FCA product was a good idea, but because no one else would sell me a full sized pickup with a diesel and a manual. 

That is incredibly insightful.  I think it would have been excellent as a nice buick.

Wasn’t the vibe a toyota something with a pontiac skin? Like a matrix? I thought they were hugely reliable and pretty solid.

As much as I agree with the Caddy Catera being listed here, as it was uninspiring and unreliable and merely an opel omega with a caddy badge...I still have a soft spot for them. I had one. It was unreliable. It was objectively terrible, and yet I loved it. When it worked, it was a smallish fun car that ticked all the

He doesn’t live that long anymore. And it seems they altered the mechanics so frostmourne doesn’t just kill you if you are not of that level. Or mine glitched as I continued to pound on arthas through the entire chat while I was supposed to be dead.

Sorry, I thought I replied to this sooner.  I swapped carbs with my bronco numerous times.  Each holley worked flawlessly on the 351.  Never once had an issue.  Both had nothing but problems on that 327.  Sadly, I sold the car right before my first son was born.  I still miss just sitting in the garage and looking at

That is my hope.  An i3 or leaf with the 100+ mile range for a few grand starts to look like something I could work with.  Although the damn Ioniq is still the best choice where I live unless I drop 30 grand for a much bigger solar setup.
