Get ready for $50/month Bolts if this passes.  I might get one just for fun.

Will have kids in college soon, and that’s the first thing I thought.  The downside is that it may be tough for them to find parking with chargers.

Not only that, but how many individuals making $30k or less even have $2500 of tax liability to take a credit against?  

First, I’m all for cleaner air and accept that pollution cause harm to health. I read the news about the study, and combined with all of the other data we have on causes of death, find it hard to swallow that 13% of deaths were caused by air pollution. I can accept that it is a factor in that many, but not as a direct…

My first car was an ‘89 GL, and I used to dream about finding a set of these to swap for my hubcapped steelies.  Great choice.

A few favorites:

Callaway has to be the only guy to ever look at a 90’s Camaro and think “You know what this car needs? More overhang!” Ugly as it is, it’s probably still worth the $10k. 

To me, Chrysler as a brand only makes sense if it’s a parent company like GM. The only brand equity they have in products from the last 20 years is in the Pacifica and the 300. The Pacifica could be a Dodge and nobody would care. I doubt many people who drive them even think of them as “Chryslers” anyway. I know my…

Counterpoint: when I was in high school, one of my good friends had a Cutlass Ciera with the bench seat, and nothing separating the driver footwell from the passenger side. My other friends and I thought it was really funny to reach over with our left foot and press the gas for her. Had we ever crashed doing this, it…

That Hurst/Olds wagon is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.

I wonder why they stretched the cab instead of just using a SuperCab? That would have been my preference.

It’s not a Hellcat, but I do have a Hemi-powered ‘21 Ram. It sounds amazing, and rumbles just right, and I much prefer it to the 3.5 Ecoboost in my Expedition even though that truck is a little quicker. But one of the reasons I leased my latest truck is that there is a lot of EV coming to the truck world over the next…

I have to add my vote to “Life is a Highway”. Either version comes on and I’m changing the station/track immediately. To be fair, I do the same for every Rascall Flatts (or Dan+Shay) song.

4Runners and FJs have gotten so pricey that it’s driving GX prices up too.  Great ride though, and with a lift and steel bumpers I think it fits the “funky” requirement.

I used to recommend Flexes a lot to my friends and family - every taker was happy they did.

Have one, completely agree. Mine is dead reliable at 125k miles and drives better than a new Wrangler still. Drives 10x better than a similarly used Xterra. No carpet = great for the dog. Fat sidewalls make it float over dirt roads.  Has gone up in value since I purchased it 2 years ago.  Spent a few hundred on a…

This is why most of the time somebody who doesn’t/can’t wrench and has a tight budget asks me what car to get, I encourage them to look into cheap leases on new cars. For example, my brother needed to buy a car for his MIL who lives 3 states away, and figured he could spend about $6k right now. Her situation is such…

My time is definitely valuable, and with a full-time job, grad school, 4 teenagers, and big house and yard there are lots of demands on it.  For me, wrenching is a nice change of pace from some of the other things. I hate yardwork, so I pay somebody else for that.  Finally gave up on handwashing my vehicles (have 5…

The Nori green on the LC500 is one of my favorite paints of all time.

That actually turned out better than I expected.
