For me satisfaction is the sum of fun to drive + fun to look at + dependable. I had an ‘03 Golf with the 2-point-slow and a stick shift. I liked the way it looked and the way it handled. Even though it wasn’t fast, it was pretty zippy whenever I needed it. I threw some on some bolt on parts and lowered it and we took…

I know Fort Worth and Dallas pretty well. The places you described suck the balls to get in trouble in.

In the early 00's I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath in the UK. There were two other bases nearby that I would visit regularly. I drove a POS British ‘83 Ford Escort HB. Every time it rained more than 5 minutes the distributor would get wet and the car would die. Guess what; it rains all the damn time in England. My…

While this car may be in good condition, it’s still a Maverick and the cool factor just isn’t there for me. CP

By “hero” do you mean “hack?”

I like the look of this pre-fast and furious-era race car

Everything I have ever learned about cars, and about buying and selling cars, tells me to walk away from this one.

I’m from Houston, Texas, and live in Fort Worth, Texas. First time I got pulled over in Fort Worth, I did the same routine as I always do, the same as yours. At the time I asked for permission to reach in the glove compartment, the officer asked me why I was so nervous. I replied “I’m from Houston. When cops get…

While living in Huntsville, Texas, I was going back to my college dorm from work. At the time, the daytime speed limit was 70 and the nighttime speed limit was 65. While doing right at 70 at around 9 pm, I crested a hill and saw a state trooper on the side of the road too late to slow down. Of course, he lit me up.…

In 2005 I was living and going to school in Huntsville, Texas, and serving a reserve commitment in Fort Worth, Texas, about 237.3 miles away. My unit was deploying in a few days so I made the trek up I-45 in my ‘02 S-10. Before I was to ship out, a lady friend of mine had set up a date with me, her, and a lady friend…

I bet that guy believes all the fake car advice we’ve all seen on the facebooks.

“A few fractions of an inch” = “A fraction of an inch”

Tell your boy his dog will have to be quarantined for 6 months over there. National policy.

Driving home to Houston from a business trip in Fort Worth in my bone-stock S-10. I passed a slow-moving Dodge Ram going maybe 40 mph on a 3-lane section of I-20. As soon as I passed, the back end came loose and I spun like a top. I don’t know how long the spinning lasted but I had time to look in the other driver’s…

Not to get political, but Trump thinks the F-35 is great now because he now has the clearance and the need-to-know to learn all the secret stuff the plan can do. You know, the stuff we don’t want every Tom, Dick, and Harry to know.

Years ago, in my early 20's I drove an ‘02 S-10, bone stock. One night, coming home from work, I got in a “let’s see how close we can get” match with an old, non-decript sedan. I don’t remember how it started but it was extra-ludicrous because it was around 0300 and we were literally the only cars on the highway.…

Thank you for this
