Far too much glass on the doors. I don’t want people knowing what trash I’ve tossed in the footwells of the back seat.

So much for pulling those ads. I just saw it at the 5:28 PM commercial break on Fox 29 in Philadelphia.

I’ve yet to meet a GM product that wasn’t a maintenance nightmare.

LOL. You just need to answer this question: If you ran out of vegetable oil in the kitchen, would you run out to the shed and grab a bottle of motor oil for cooking?

There is a plate in my car’s engine compartment with a bunch of maintenance specifications on it, because “why bother flipping pages in the service manual?” said Honda of 1994. It states the oil should be changed every 7,500 miles. Which I have done regularly for more than a quarter century.  The car runs just fine at…

Sorry, but you missed a hugely important phrase on that flow chart - “marketing desire”. Sticking with the 3,000 mile limit is something the oil companies decided to claim, not something the motor makers decided. Meanwhile, the motor makers have been telling you the results of their own testing, which has nothing to…

Reminds me of the family-size flying bubble... transportation device from the Jetsons.

Huh. I notice quite a few vehicle brands are missing that aren’t exactly “boutique”, i/e Porsche rather than something like Ferrari or Lamborghini or Bugatti. Very selective when it comes to attempting to establish credibility for their survey.

After reading this article, it sounds very muh like my 1990's snapper ride on lawn mower is essentially a modernized and miniaturized version of this Porsche tractor, just powered by gasoline instead. Matter of fact, at low throttle, my mower sounds very much the same when the blade is disengaged.

Everybody I knew knew that as “the shoe ruler.” The company refers to it as the “Brannock Device” purely as a means to gain name exposure. LOL

Is Toyota trying to tell us something about those cars? Because all I see is “Century GReMliN” like they want to be associated with part of AMC’s downfall. Or a vehicle that spends most of its existence in a mechanic’s bay.

Well, Boogiepop is pretty much the only thing I’m watching from this list. I’ll give a few other things a try, but even then, it won’t be much. This seems to be such a garbage season, but we should all be used to that after a decade of much garbage.

Allow me to regale you with the tale of the most appropriately named road in all the land - a road named Breakneck Road. This is a semi-rural road here in New Jersey. When I got into high school, it was already legend. It was named as it does. As the stories told, the cops never bothered patrolling it, it was posted…

One would have thought people would have learned their lesson with the VTEC upbadging that made Hondas such prime car theft targets in the late 90's.

“Difficult to understand”? Preposterous. Innocent bystander in one of the bigger vehicles on the road raced away from the scene, drawing attention to himself while trying to get to a safe distance. So everyone focused on the big pickup instead of a tiny Kia or whatever similarly small sized (and thus cheaply rented)…

Had a friend who offroaded with a motorcycle and sidecar combo. Got so sick of spaces being tighter than he could squeeze through, he added a couple laser pointers as indicators to see if he could squeeze through the space before he approached.

Now you can understand why some parts of the world have the phrase “It takes three Russians to find two Russian brain cells to rub together”.

Someone needs to pull her aside and explain how every time she opens her mouth regarding the Harry Potter franchise, she’s simply adding more fuel to the “she stole the work of others when she was employed as an abysmal excuse for an editor and published it as her own” as she constantly demonstrates she is by no…

Also... “If you’re going to die, may as well look good doing it.” They’re on a warship and her job is to think and give orders. So she seems to be suitably dressed for the task.

Just chalk it up to “even if she is playing a human, it must be a cultural quirk of her character’s planet.” People forget, Star Wars is a universe of planets inhabits for centuries if not millennia. Being “human” means little more than a rather high rate of genetic compatibility with others considered “human” when…
