Many lives were saved the day your Mustang was stuck in the sand.

I’m not sure what you mean by “every aspect.” But if you’re talking about food, yes, absolutely. If I had to actually think about my steak having once been part of a cow, with a face and a personality and sad lonely eyes, I’d probably be forced to be a vegan because I don’t think I could live with myself having killed…

The cheapness I get -- but it would be even cheaper to just stay home. If your options are “stay home for a few days” or “go be homeless in the woods for a few days” I’m not sure why you’d pay for the privilege of the latter.

I will wholeheartedly admit that your final point -- about forcing yourself to slow down --…

And the world needs different people to be the wonderful place it is. Camping is just one particular activity I can never wrap my mind around, sort of like those Amazonian tribes who have the ritual where they stick their hands into mittens lined with bullet ants. “Let me be as uncomfortable as possible; it will be…

I drove across country last year, from Brooklyn to L.A. and back, and it was beautiful... since, you know, I had air conditioning in the car and glass to keep the bugs away and plenty of bottled water and the knowledge that I’d have indoor plumbing wherever I’d be…

I bought not one, not two, but three Volkswagen diesels.

Do you know what the common denominator in all your bad car experiences is?

your hatred is out of date, Audi is the new BMW. In fact just last week I saw a BMW using it’s turn signal.

Owning not 1 but 2 Early 90s Plymouth Voyagers. One of which is getting a newer Chrysler 3.8L swapped in currently, the other of which is getting a 6G75 Mivec from an 07 Eclipse GT.

I’m pretty sure my worst automotive decision is continuing to visit Jalopnik

I like to think our friends in China have a sense of humor in this case.

“Since I work with David Tracy, I’ve heard and seen some shit.”

Never believe the service managers.

At least he blocked the license plate so you can’t identify that specific car if you see it on the street.

Holy crap, I found the video for this thing.

...the fuck...?

That classic Craigslist picture. From the side, cutting off each end.

A 1976 Peugeot 504. Brown, 5-speed manual, diesel & French. It’s the best I’ve got on such short notice.
