Mid-70's GM full-sized convertible coupe, like the Caprice, Bonneville, Eldorado and Wildcat. These are still available, there are parts, they have room for four people and luggage and make great road trip cars. They are reliable and you can put in a crate motor if you so choose. But you’ll have a great car that…

So that’s what they did with the tooling for the Isuzu Vehicross

Oh you must be trying the Will Ferrell one now right?

How about Artichokes?

So basically you’re asking someone you don’t know, and haven’t had any social interaction with, to reveal very personal information to a stranger? That’s a brilliant way to put someone at ease.

I’ve driven several newer model cars as rentals in the past couple years, many of which had these new 8-speed transmission setups and I gotta tell you I didn’t like the driving experience. The Jeep Cherokee especially felt terrible. It was like the transmission was always in the wrong gear to apply any power from the…

TERRIBLE leg room for the driver. You can tilt the seat back or have leg room but never both at the same time. I’m 6'2 and I would NEVER buy one of these. You end up feeling like you’re driving a kiddie car.

There’s no discrimination in this case. Driving is a privilege not a right... Plenty of other people are not able to use drive-thru windows either. It makes no difference if they are blind or not. If he wants to go through the drive-thru window and cannot drive, he’s just got to get a person who can to take him…

Easiest way to remove a splinter: Soak the hand, leg, foot, whatever body part in water until your skin starts getting pruny.. The tiny hole the splinter made will allow water in and the skin around the splinter will puff up and expand. Scratch off that now water-logged piece of skin and the splinter will fall out…

An early 70's Toyota Corona two-door. But... it had some kind of electrical problem which required you to get out of the car, open the hood and depress a switch/relay on the electrical panel for you to restart the car. It made stalling in traffic while learning to keep the engine running a whole lot more interesting -…

The French used this technique in Panama when building the Canal - and coincidentally discovered that it made a GREAT breeding ground for the Mosquitoes that spread the virus that causes Malaria. Men who went into their hospitals - with bedposts placed in bowls of water to stop the ants died. Luckily science caught up…

Other sedans are selling successfully. This one aint because it’s boring. Even the boring chevy sedans are looking better and more fun these days.

One of the most fun cars I ever drove was a manual 1980 Toyota Supar MkI, that somoene had removed the Catalyst from. That car just loved to go quick.

Steve Jobs almost killed himself eating a fruit-only diet. It may also have been a major cause of his pancreatic cancer?

Many years ago my roommate brought home a bunch of bagels from a meeting he attended. He decided to make a kick-ass grilled cheese out of one of them. He grabs the pumpernickel bagel, cooks it up in a pan, like he’d seen me do -astonished. Gets it all ready sits down in front of the TV with his now delicious-looking…

Yeah if there was an easy solution they’d have announced it already. I suspect that ANY solution lowers MPG and exposes them to massive losses.

Good boys don’t serve gravy...

Saw one of these on the road this weekend. Those new taillights are awesome at night! Such a cool design.

People drive like this all the time. The Normal fast-lane speed on the freeways in LA is 80. If you’re not going that fast your gonna have someone up your ass until you move out of the way. You often see boy racers flying through traffic, two or three at a time chasing/racing each other.

Great Article! I’m on the other side now of getting out of debt and living below my means. For five years every single penny I had went towards bills, debt and other expenses. It took me years of being broke, miserable and earning too much to declare bankrupty before things started to turn around. My monthly expenses…
