The ability to open/close the top at neighborhood driving speeds alone is worth having a power top.

Once you’re spending that kind of cheddar you’re better off with a sprinter, it’s more reliable and parts are significantly easier to get

We've been considering that, honestly. It would have saved a lot of hassle! 

my son is beautiful and I will hear nothing else!!!!!!

Excellent suggestion. Also, clothes hampers/Rubbermaid bins on the front seats. Easy to move, easy to push things around in ‘em if you gotta dig.

Cobalt SS. Or any 1.4T Cruze. 160 tuned HP in that car is plenty with the way it comes on.

What sucks is that those cops that can recognize that their nerves are frayed or are starting to have PTSD or other mental/emotional effects from their job are not always given the proper outlet to retire early and leave the force. I know one particular cop (friend of a friend) who went through a tough situation. A…

I, also just a guy on the internet, agree with you completely.

I’ve watched a few of these and love the technical discussion, though I always feel like his hatred of the “parts bin” is a bit too idealistic maybe, in that he acts like it’s just laziness and money that drives parts bin engineering when there are as many reasons for it as there are against.

No. There is almost no reason to watch movies in theaters anymore

I bought somebody’s project sight unseen on the internet back at the start of the pandemic. When I got there to pick it up, I couldn’t get the column to unlock. So I had to disconnect it and steer with vice grips to get it on the trailer. I put the spline flange and the screwdriver I used to loosen the set screw on…

I fixed my brakes with a coathanger once.

None. They can kiss my ass.

Nothing in this story or the original CR that points to trucks being the leading cause of pedestrian deaths. In addition, no academic study has normalized 2020 data for the increase of pedestrian activity due to the pandemic. CR also spends alot of time comparing trucks across segments such as mid-size and full size.…

This is why I a) back in to spots that have sufficient room, or b) park away from other vehicles. I fully admit that pulling my full-size truck forward into a parking space is a giant pain in the ass and I’d prefer not to do it. It doesn’t have blind spot cameras, forward collision detection or parking sensors - just…

A good suggestion for this guy wouldn’t need a warranty for peace of mind. I never understood the idea of leaning on the warranty as a justification for buying trash. I know I value my time more than wasting it in going back and forth to a dealer, but maybe other people just really like free Keurig coffee. I could…

There is no way an Outback is a babe magnet unless you are a middle aged babe looking for other middle aged babes.

I still own one of those LR3s. That 4.4 is a Jaguar engine, not a Ford, but it and the transmission have been bulletproof. It’s the various sensors, lower control arm replacements, suspension air compressor, gasoline (About 12 mpg in the city. 91 octane only) and the tires that have really added up over the years. I’m…

Yeah, I think I’d only lease an EV for the foreseeable future. 

As an EV driver the answer is really simple. Don’t by a Leaf. The lack of thermal regulation on them causes massive degradation of the battery and they’re causing unnecessary concern about other EVs because Nissan is awful at EVs. I drive a Chevy Bolt. There’s a guy out there who has well over 100,000+ miles on his,…
