I was replying to MrAcoustics not necessarily MrNails. Bradley is clearly biased, he’s not hiding it. I appreciate his transparency. I enjoy reading car reviews, but I find from my own experiences that the reviews are about 40-50% accurate and unbiased numbers turn reviews into a manufacturer dick wagging contest.

You can’t really believe any car magazine’s review of a truck. Most of the major publications used to say that the previous gen of Ram truck drove like a luxury car because of the coil spring suspension. Having spent a bit of time in one that is total bullshit - they seemed to be reciting the marketing fuckery that…

Good advice for singles: consider tossing out any prospective partner that doesn’t appreciate a fun car over a luxury car. It’s a relatively quick and easy filter. If you prefer gold diggers then that is a different story: just make sure your values align where and when it counts for you.

Thanks for pointing that out. I clearly had no idea. 

My ex girlfriend’s dad had one that put out 503hp. That was crazy especially with no traction control etc to help optimize performance. When he took me for a ride in it he drifted around a U-turn and kept wheels spinning at 60mph in 2nd gear then we were suddenly doing 130mph once the wheels grabbed. 

I strongly concur. There is an old eldorado near me that needs some love. I have been thinking about making an offer on it then doing an LS swap, but this is far more appealing. However, this and a bit of metal work could make the caddy look like Syd Mead dream.

Qualifiers look like this 

I loved the FX. It was barely practical, but I drove one for a few days and I was smitten. For what it was at the time there were few vehicles like it and there is really no direct replacement now.

I rented a ford transit cab-over a little while ago. I loved it and returned it wanting one. I wound up driving a late model F250 not long after and was less enthusiastic about it. The Transit is an honest, simple, and very capable vehicle, which was really refreshing.

Needs more acrimony.

I agree, though I think it looks much better in real life.

Refraining from dad jokes.

The bolt is admirable for its approach, but no one in our current society wants to be a member of the proletariat.

I work and am friends with a lot of MEP contractors. A lot of the owners of companies like that don’t give a fuck about dealer experience, but want a luxury vehicle and/or want to flex their wealth. A lot of those same dudes already have Rubicons with $20k plus in aftermarket parts and another large luxury SUV like an…

Homie-dude. Someone just starred one of my old shitty replies to you and realized that I haven’t seen a Vin comment in a long time. Are you still around and OK?

I didn’t know that it was possible to get cramps in one’s ass until I drove 328 miles in one shot. I did it in record time, but it wasn’t worth the pain in my ass.

Make a habit of doing it more often. I always enjoyed your pieces. 

Aaron’s back!!!!! Did you really go away?

 I kept looking at it and thinking that it would make an amazing last mile car: drive it to the train station, runs to the hardware store, etc.

North American walnut is a great wood, but if you live in an area that grows the trees easily they are basically pest trees. My parents have a massive walnut (3’ diameter trunk and about 70’ high) next to the and no car is safe, not to mention the house during a hurricane. The local squirrels are hands down the…
