I LOVES me some OEM takeoffs.

Bar none, Lincoln has the best model names in the industry right now:

Firestone Destination LE3 is a good choice too.  Good all-season, we have them on our Odyssey.  Ride and handles great, even in wet weather.  Very comparable to the OEM Michelin set that came with the car. 

Take this Outlander Sport Ralliart edition:

Have you seen the Mirage R5 from about 10 years ago?

Since we’re dreaming, just give the Accord the full Type-R treatment. Give it all the same Type-R goodies that the Civic Type-R has - engine, suspension, shifter, seats, differential, styling.

Ya’ll, the answer is simple. Mazdaspeed5

Owners and even service “techs”. Consider the case of the Ford Taurus and its infamous AXOD/AXOD-E/AX4S transmission. After a couple of major design flaws were eliminated, they actually had reasonable reliability to a point, but there were still a high number of failures that occurred shortly after an oil change. The…

The LS was never based on the Avalon chassis. The Avalon is a FWD car, and the LS was RWD or AWD. They were originally based on the Toyota Celsior and then the Century. The current model is based on the TNGA-L platform which underpins the LC, Crown, and Mirai.

Your life was simple and carefree in the ‘90s because you were a baby. 

The recommended services for the X5 we have in the shop at 40K miles:

So you can get a car for Civic money, but have BMW maintenance costs, pass lol.

Unclear why an unidentified drone cannot be shot down when flying in restricted airspace over a military installation despite the “law”.

Yes, I was really hoping this entire article would be variations on “buy a goddamn minivan.”  Alas.

fawning unhinged lunatic, in this pic. looks like wormtongue ala lord of the rings.

Another unusably fast, unobtainably expensive supercar that will almost exclusively be purchased by middle eastern oil barons and stored indefinitely with delivery miles in a sealed warehouse. The writeup/article is good and I don’t want to discount that, but man it is hard to care about new releases like this.

A typical household might have been paying the phone company $50-100/mo plus more for additional lines and fees for more services (call waiting - extra, and dont get me started on per minute long distance charges).

While the smart phone and internet obviously weren’t available for purchase, do you have any actual data that people weren’t making tons of frivolous purchases 30 years ago? They still had store catalogues getting mailed out, door to door salesmen, and the home shopping network to buy random stuff from. McDonalds &…

AI wrote the article? No one with a brain did a sanity check on the numbers? There’s a KBB article that makes the same mistake, quoting current used car values as original MSRP.

Maybe there should have been a 1 in front of it? I think people would remember a 1992 F-Series truck being less than a 1986 Yugo GV.
