We bought our 2016 Explorer used and without the door code. A google search revealed that the code is on the back side of the fuse box that is located in the footwell on the driver’s side of the car. The site recommended using a dental mirror to look up in there and record the numbers, which of course would be…

Apparently you’ve never been to the Oregon coast. This is what all cars and trucks look like that have been there for more than a year or two. $400 will buy you this truck and two or three more if you venture out there.

I had a similar experience with a similar knife. While travelling with my wife and young son, the TSA agent said, “sir there is a knife in your backpack”. Being a seasoned traveler I denied it vehemently on the spot, until she pulled out a 4" knife with the Cub Scouts logo emblazoned on it. My son had recently…

There is an old trope about scooters and fat chicks (fun to ride until your friends see you). This bike has all of the weight and none of the fun. Twisting the throttle is the equivalent of pressing the treadle on your grandmother’s sewing machine, except the sewing machine makes a better noise. Less comfortable than…

I’ve always heard that there are approximately 50,000 deer killed by cars every year in Michigan. I’m wondering how many of the accidents counted also included interaction with Michigan’s second most populous large mammal.

Might be Frankenmuth, MI.  

One of my favorite episodes of Car Talk was a guy with a Saint Bernard who road in the front seat of his small pick up with his feet on the floor and his face in the windshield. Apparently one day the dog got car sick and puked into the defroster vents. From then on whenever he turned on the defroster he got a…

My roommate in college had one and we drove it all over Colorado to hike and climb. Extraordinarily uncomfortable to ride in, especially in the back.  Might have been off road capable, which we used frequently, but on the road the steering had 40 degrees of play.  A little freaky the first time you drive something…

I am in the process of buying a 2013 E350 4matic and was amazed at how much car I am getting for the price ($17,000).  Classy car with good marks for reliability.  I am hoping I can live up to it’s image.

The Commuter was a Mercury. I know, I grew up in the back of a ‘68.

I’m guessing he used Waze instead of the following the course.  Always saves me a few minutes here and there during the morning commute.

I have always said you can do things in a rented car you can’t do in a Ferrari.

I drove a 1981 diesel pickup for 100,000 miles all over Colorado, as well as across the US and Canada, and even into Mexico. I was never under the impression that I was driving a sports car. I did, however, sometimes get spectacular mileage, especially if there was a tailwind.

I say NP for a CP.  Sometimes you just can’t say no.

One of my all time favorite movies is Quick Change, with Bill Murray, Geena Davis and Randy Quaid. They pull of a brilliant bank heist in Manhatten, but then are unable to get to the airport. It’s brilliant, and anyone who has ever tried to get out of NYC will appreciate it.  

That dude driving the car appears to be mega-cephalic (has a big head) as well as short.  Maybe it is Tom Cruise’s father.

Y’all are fishing in the wrong pond.  Check out this ‘79 Mercedes 300d in Portland for $3k.  https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/cto/d/beaverton-mercedes-300d-diesel/6822385188.html

Mystery Automoble 3K.  Have puppets for sidekicks.

I was following my very sensitive girlfriend through the tree lined streets of a midwestern town when a squirrel darted out in front of her. I saw her swerve to miss it, but then I saw it roll up and around on her rear tire. Distraught, she pulled over a few blocks later. “I think I missed that squirrel!” she said as…

I know why BMW owners don’t use their blinkers.  It is the huge blind spot that exists to back left of the driver that is not covered by either the side mirror or the rear view mirror.  When I met my wife I was driving an 87' 528e and she was driving a ‘99 528.  There could be a triple trailer semi to your back left…
