I don’t care what you say, I like the Mustang II. I want to put one on an AWD van chassis and make a crappy off-brand Hoonicorn.

The tires were originally designed for use in swamps (I have no idea what sort of swamp vehicle used them but I kinda want to see that...), though I have no idea why they thought that would make them suitable for snow. Perhaps they were simply the largest tires available at the time? Or because it was 1939 they…

I’ve been fascinated by this thing for years. From what I understand, the only thing really stopping it from being any good was the fact that they picked the wrong tire for the job. Heavy vehicle + zero traction = going nowhere.

I’ve always wanted a BMW Isetta or 700 so I can tell everybody I drive a BMW and then look at the expression on their faces when their mental image of perceived opulence is completely shattered by German microcar quirkiness! That would be hilarious on dates.

Heh... I clicked on this simply because “lupini bean” is fun to say :)

How the frick do you milk an oat?

Really, it’s good that Toyota takes steps to employ more people with disabilities, but they shouldn’t let blind people style cars. I mean seriously, how did the Yaris make it all the way to production without anybody noticing that the car’s “face” appears to be vomiting?

“ More respondents (37%) think Hyundai is a Japanese or Chinese automaker than the percentage (29%) who correctly identified it as South Korean. The same percentage (26%) said Lexus is American or German as did those who correctly identified Toyota’s luxury brand as Japanese. Only half of all respondents know Tesla is…

It’s what I meant to say, at least. I wrote that before going to bed last night and wasn’t super satisfied with the wording of that part, but I was too tired to care at that point and declared it good enough.

I mean I’m not saying they don’t exist or aren’t common, and I certainly have encountered some jerk truck drivers, but what I’m trying to say is that there’s an equally common if not much more common flip side of helpful truck owners, and I think they deserve a bit more appreciation. 

That was a great episode. 

“62% have jump-started another car with their truck”

L&L Auto Parts? I’ve never been there, but I know it’s supposed to be really good. It’s nice because they sort the cars into “projects” and “parts”, so cars that are potentially salvageable don’t get parted out and remain pretty complete. 

It’s probably hers, how many others could there possibly be?

HOLY CRAP, THIS JUNKYARD IS ONLY A SHORT DRIVE AWAY FROM WHERE I LIVE! I’ve driven past that place loads of times! I never would’ve guessed something like that was hiding there... It’s definitely not the only interesting car around here, though. There’s a guy in in the area who owns a Willys Knight that’s one of only…

Come on, be honest. You picked up that TV because you started a business and you’re trying to save money during quarantine struggles! I’ve already seen it. Don’t try to hide it. When were you planning on revealing it to us? Is it taillight themed? Does this building contain a secret meeting place where your contacts…

My dad’s cars have all mostly fallen into the “mildly interesting” spectrum. My mom is the one who should’ve kept her first car (a 1964 Chevy Impala SS that was my grandma’s baby), but I think the car my dad misses the most (and the first car I remember him having) was a 1990something Honda Accord. I remember it had…
