Yup. You can count on misinformation travelling faster than truth or fact.

That’s what I got too: After stating Mazda is properly pronounced Mat-suda, he goes on to say Matsuda decided to name his company after the god Mazda which is pronounced MAZ-DUH. So it would appear the name is correctly pronounced by everyone except native Japanese who read into and infer the owner’s name instead.

Thankfully Kodak had patents on their drive design, otherwise we might all be driving Pan-Am’s today. Their aircraft were amazing tho! And I’ll never forget my lovely stewardess named Twila, as we set set off into the sunset on a nine hour flight.

Poignant moment: The last scene of the commercial where the family exits the car and runs toward the rainbow ... gladly leaving the Captiva behind. Sooo beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes!

It’s the new Ford Patrioteer!

Cadillac just doesn’t get it. Market researchers know who pays their bills and tell them what they want to hear. They have to make great unique cars for decades before they’ll change their image. Over time it has become very clear that despite always being “backed by extensive market research” Gm executives will…

How do we know Jimmy Hoffa isn’t in that suit?

Can’t wait for your near death review of the Dodge Gaspen!

Son, it’s a “Le Miserati”. Avert your eyes.

And so it begins.

I drove one of these for 5 years as a work van and plain loved it. The visibility and turning radius were utterly fantastic. The engine purred like ... a Toyota, and it rode soft. Over time it developed software glitches and would die inexplicably because the owner was too cheap to get it serviced by the dealer and…

Lemme guess. You were off-roading in Colorado again ... needed a filter ... and had no idea why an auto store would have a leaf on its sign?

Good, yes, but the concept Stinger design was flat out great and by that I mean drop dead gorgeous. To be great, a car has to dare to stand out in some way and sadly KIA let the bean counters choke out the basic dream. This car just looks like any other mid range BMW clone luxo-sedan .. with a KIA grille. A copycat…

Honda has made two performance mowers? You know what that means?

Yup. It looks like a Buick alright!

Exactly. Could you imagine a whole row of little LED headlights that rise sequentially?

One of the few Jalop articles I had to pore over wholly from beginning to end. Thanks.

Congrats on passing the test, for whatever reason, and double so for doing it on a bike that doesn’t fit well nor inspire your own personal confidence. Kudos! I gotta take some issue with the school teaching new riders on relatively heavy street bikes. Everyone I know has learned the basics on really small bikes…

My Uncle Bill was a Pigman, a Rooster Steward, a Veggie Tamer, entirely Bullish, and damn proud of it. In his barn he had many heavy machines which he used to restore and maintain an original Model A. When his F150 flatbed died, he yanked the motor out of a crashed Cadillac to power it. He could never resist telling…
