I’d say it’s okay ONLY if you actually legitimately know how to pop the thing back in. If you just think you know how it goes together or think you can figure it out, that’s not good enough and you should leave it alone and leave a note if you can. Like, if you owned one of the same car and knew how to pop the thing

Eh, I still think hot rods are fine. Though it is way more fun to see ones that are made with more unusual cars and parts, versus the gazillions of similar ones everybody makes. I’ve often thought it’d be fun to make a hot rod with a Kia V8 or something just to watch people’s heads explode.

Yeah... I understand the historical significance of the tri-five Chevys and 32 Fords in the world of hot rods, and I actually do kind of like the styling of the 32 Ford, but I agree that it can get a bit tiring to see boatloads of them at every car show. I do think there is one exception, though. I get excited whenever

I like classic cars because one of my favorite aspects of cars is the styling, so I gravitate towards the era when designers had more creative freedom with automotive styling. It also helps that cars of that era are really easy to fix and at least in my opinion, cars of that era had more personality. For a long time I

I am not a boomer. Far from it, in fact. I still think it is an epic car, though.

OOOOOHHHHH yes yes yes! Why didn’t I think of that? The Eliminator is a great answer.

The flying car thingy from the music video for “Outta My System” by My Morning Jacket.

The Taycan.

And yet... One gas nozzle fits most ICE cars. (unless it’s a two-stroke car, but still) If the standard plug doesn’t fit your needs somehow, then maybe they could include the standard plug as well as the specialized plug so you can still charge it with a regular plug, but you can charge it with the specialized one if

Heck, I’m still in the phase where I’m imagining what my second car will be. I’ve fallen in love with my first car (‘66 Thunderbird) and don’t think I’ll be selling it anytime soon, so I imagine that my second car will probably end up being the polar opposite of my Thunderbird to balance out the drawbacks of dailying

Good for you for thinking about fixing up your Scimitar, but... electric? Are you sure? I still think ICEs have more personality than electric motors. If the original engine isn’t worth saving, perhaps you could maybe do something like a rotary swap, or maybe something like a more modern Japanese engine for the sake

Electric cars are one of the major reasons why I wish all the different car companies and maybe the government would just get together and decide on some standards, specifically a standard plug for charging the darn things. I don’t need a Ford-specific gas pump to refuel my Thunderbird, so I most certainly do not want

I’ve always loved the idea of hot hatch-ifying a minivan. It would make the idea of owning a minivan more enticing, and what could be more fun than bringing all your friends along for the ride? (provided, of course, that you’re a good driver) I can’t help but hope that if these hotvans (or whatever they’d end up being

Kia Stinger, Hyundai Veloster N... If this is what the beginning of Korean performance cars looks like, I can’t wait to see where it goes from here!

That’s what I do, since I drive a car with a heater that heats the car at a glacial pace and no air conditioning. I just need to get myself some good driving gloves so the ice-cold steering wheel doesn’t give me frostbite, lol.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve never been able to shake the feeling that the Toyota Yaris kinda just looks like an angry gopher. The previous generation of Yaris was even more angry gopher-y, but the angry gopher resemblance is still there in the new one.

I once dreamed that I had to drive a Volkswagen Beetle with no brakes whatsoever, so I hired Chuck Norris to ride on the roof rack until I had to stop, at which point he would jump in front of the car and stop it with his bare hands. Or just stare at it and dare it to keep moving. Whatever he felt like, I guess.

Perhaps he drove on the tracks and lost consciousness before the lights were flashing or the... thingies lowered?

Once upon a time, there were two families, Porsche and Tesla, who had a generations-old feud. Their hatred for each other was legendary, and they often squabbled on city streets. One fateful day, though, both families were invited to a party, and Taycan, of the Porsche family, met Model S, of the Tesla family. It was
