Does it not surprise you that I also hate big trucks?

15mpg in a recreational car where most will see ~1,500 miles per year is perfectly acceptable.

The whole car is just rich assholes doing rich asshole things

The potential loss of the unlimited autobahn, along with recreational driving in general, reminds me of this Billy Joel song.

Older millennial here, born late ‘84. Got my license ASAP. Bought my first car on September 11th, 2001, before my friends or I had a cell phone. Car was still very important.

This probably happens more often than we know around the Bowling Green area, but it usually gets swept under the rug and the drivers let off with a stern warning because GM’s a big employer for the town.

If Rolls-Royce can do it, so can Aston.

Youtube has (thankfully) made the Haynes/Chilton manual a supplemental resource instead of a primary one.

An artificially-limited market of 6 vehicles based upon their function...

Deliberate is right, 85% of it is schtick and the remaining 15% is probably real.

Yeah, I fully expect that all seven have the same number of miles on them as when they were off-loaded from the delivery truck(s), and probably have not moved from their parking spots since the 1990s. The tires are probably all flat and dryrotted, brake rotors seized to the pads, and the glorious S70/2 engines not…

I bet a first-gen Accord would have fit

Gotta get yourself an original NA Miata casting, metal/metal!

I don’t care too much for the premium cars with RealRiders, because they don’t roll very well and can’t be used on tracks. My favorite HW series of the past decade was the Cool Classics series which had metal bodies and bases, but still had plastic wheels. They decimate all on track. And they were only $3 each.

The United States might only make up 1% or less of their overall unit demographic, but I bet we’re closer to 25% of their global profit from motorcycles per-unit. They probably make more on one Goldwing sale than they do a dozen 50cc supercubs in Asia.

It’s almost like aging pyrotechnics are dangerous, and will become more and more of a threat as early airbag-equipped cars age.

This dealer is less than an hour from me, brb

I’ll take a well-maintained 300,000 mile car over a neglected 100k car every time.

Amateur hour behind the wheel of the crane

Headlight aiming guidance is the most flagrant misuse of GPS I’ve ever heard of
