I loves me some old 80s fastbacks....Impulse, Starion, 3000gt and 240/260/280 with them z’s and x’s but this still seems a bit high. I guess if someone is willing to drop nearly 12 on this, fixing the AC isn’t that much of an issue.  CP for me, but mostly because I’m extremely partial to the Datsuns if I’m dropping

The Z71 looks awkwardly tall. Like...HD 4x4 pickups usually have a lot of space from tire to the fender but they do a lot to make it look...normal-ish?  This looks like a bad lift kit. The kind that only lifts the body and does nothing for the suspension...

The first time the computer decided to drop my rpms to an idle and I nearly stalled the vehicle trying to pull out into traffic quickly because the tires might have spun, I turned it off and never looked back. Now, I get in the truck, turn the traction control off and set the exhaust brake to auto. I break the rear

GMC Syclone. Too bad they only made them in 1991. S-10 sized and quicker then the ford lightnings.  

Good god.  I couldn’t even identify that thing when I first looked at it.  I never would even guessed it was an S-10 before...that was done to it.  Just no.  So much no.  CP.

“...a 1965 Porsche 911 with no seatbelts (my dad belted me in with tie downs...”

In the last 20 years, I have never found a use for heated seats. That being said, my wife loves them, of course, but I’m the opposite: warm blooded, and in a stupid warm climate. I wish I had the cooled seats. AC is an absolute must in Hawaii, both in the car and in the home. Rumor has it my house has heat pumps in

I really hate this vehicle.

Huh...and I thought the only things that made a jeep a jeep was:

“...trophy truck hit the Raptor...”

That was actually a design necessity on certain types of suspension back in the 70s....like military vehicles running torque tube drive line setups...certainly not in these situations though.

The new mini cooper clubman doesn’t look half bad...oh wait...

I can think of so many instances where I’d be labeled in the asshole category simply for being aware.

They’d replace the elephant with a picture of that.

The “you must avoid an accident” regardless of circumstances.  I think it should be perfectly fine to T bone a car running a red light, even if I am moving from a stop because my light turned green 3 seconds ago.  Yes yes, passengers and death and destruction and the like.  I admit, it is an absolutely horrible idea,

One of the ironies here is that with the size of modern car seats, my wife’s little lexus NX (AKA Rav4) will be more comfortable and spacious when my kids are in booster seats and out of the forward or reverse car seats. Thankfully, we parents haven’t grown in size to a significant or noticeable amount yet.

My 1990 acura legend was practically indestructible. I sold it a couple years ago with 200k on the clock and most everything, including the AC, still working. My friends have purchased modern honda’s based on the perceived reliability from years passed and none of them have had the climate control survive 5 years.

Hypothesis: Dodge is reliable now.

What year? I had a 97 hombre with the little 4 pot and the 5 speed. Loved that little thing. It was so bare bones, it had the radio delete from the factory. The only issue I had was it liked to eat one of the 4 coils about once a year. Almost 200k miles so it was hard to complain about. Still probably one of the

I drive an HD pickup with a manual, always with the traction control off and the exhaust brakes on auto, a little bit of rain and it takes very little to step the back end out going around a corner. The nice part is it is just as easily controlled as it was in my M3 with all the computers helping me not crash.
