Anything with a Toyota logo on the front and back.

Yes they are everywhere, like Harleys. But like Harleys, these Mopars make their Owners happy. If you don’t like them, spend your hard earned money elsewhere. Ragging on them just make you another Jalop elitist douchebag.

I have a ‘19 Lusso that I practically stole from the Dealer who wanted rid of it after it sat new his lot for two years. I could easily sell it for $5K more than what I paid for it, but I’m not. It’s just too much fun and it sips well less fuel than our C7.

“I mean you probably didn’t hear about it because I went under the name of Mike Honcho. But I just wanted you to know that, if you can hear me, if it got into your brain somehow, that I spread my butt cheeks as Mike Honcho.”

What’s not to love? The original second gen. was simply gorgeous and a silly movie that didn’t do well till it was released in The Deep South made it the most desired car in America.

The Molson Indy used to be a grand event, with names like Andretti(s), Unser(s), Fittipaldi, Mears, Rahal, etc. I went to almost every one from ‘88 till CART split up in the ‘90's. For the last two decades it’s been a “who’s that” of US open wheel auto racing. The circuit has a decent layout, even though it’s been

First time I saw Quinn in Stranger Things Season 4, a Robert Downey Jr. doppelgänger was the first thing that came to mind. Even sounds like him a bit, if that’s a stretch.

This Ship’s final destination was Captained with the appointment of three “hand picked” conservative Supreme Court nominees. And the course of that ship was changed the day James Comey sent that letter to Congress about additional Hillary e-mails to congress a week before the 2016 election - a letter that we all know c

My former neighbour, who has since moved away, used to drive Chrysler products because his MIL was a retired employee. He never bought many new vehicles, but I do recall him bragging about getting an employee discount on his last purchase and that was after his MIL passed - and this is in Canada.  I just thought it

Buying a vehicle from a Dealer is pretty straight forward marketing 101 - supply and demand. When the market is saturated, there are deals to be had and Dealers will bend over backwards to sell you a vehicle. Conversely, when supply is low and/or demand is high, Dealers will bend YOU over during the sale. Want to be

The whole debute album is fantastic! Worth a listen from start to finish. My second favourite (alt) album next to Simple Mind’s New Gold Dream.

Hey Pitbull, it was called “IROC” and it started in 1974 with drivers from SCCA, USAC, NASCAR and F1 all running equally prepped Porsche Carrera’s and it was actually pretty cool at the start.  However, it eventually became watered down with the majority being U.S. drivers along with a few global has beens.

Barber Motorsports Track in Alabama would be a great venue for an F1 race.  Beautiful track with lots of turns and elevation changes.  

I sold my Street Glide for one reason only, self preservation. I miss it, but I don’t miss the Harley “element”, i.e. those customers you make mention of. The bikes are fantastic, but the image gets downgraded by the “element”. There is a genuine interest in the bikes as I would often see non-cruiser types at

“Which reminds me, this car is a jerk magnet. Everyone with every bad/jerk based driving habit within ten miles comes gunning for you the moment they see your car. Riding your bumper, drag racing, cutting you off, etc.”

Kind of like you using the wrong form of “you’re” in “your” reply.

If there is any Indy 500 race mementos that I’d clearly avoid, it would be from the ‘73 Indy 500. The grim race was marred by three tragedies which included the deaths of two drivers and one pit crew member. Furthermore, race officials dragged the somber event over three days due to rain. It was the worst 500 ever.

Auto World could have offered free hookers and blow when it opened its doors and it still would have failed. Flint was already an sh!thole of epic proportion by the time this travesty went from blueprints to bricks & mortar. The only picturesque view of Flint was in your rearview mirror.

Single DIN cassette decks because I’m a analog guy living in a digital world. I miss cassette deck and speaker shopping and and installing new equipment.
