    LC and LX didn’t get the 5-speed auto until 2003 (it was a 4-speed from 98-02) and they didn’t get the VVT 2UZ until the 06 model year, the non VVT was 235hp

    Any production car that I can get in teal or seafoam I am in.

    Idiot. 

    I’m only semi-literate before the first cup of coffee. Mea culpa. 

    And that’s what I get for commenting before coffee!

    I do!

    It’s just that all of my guests are engine blocks.

    “Care for a cylinder head?” (right arm shaking as I hold a cylinder head on a silver platter in front of my company)

    I actually have a pretty big collection, half those I collected myself from dealerships and motorshows in the mid 90's and the other half given to me by an elderly neighbour. His comprised of a wide variety of cars from the 70's and 80's quite nicely reflecting his increases in wage it seems. Early 70's Renault and…

    A good friend of mine’s mother had a 2002 Windstar while I was in middle and high school. We’ll call the friend “V”.

I hadn’t seen the car in years and assumed the worst and offered $6500.. turned out it only had scratches and dings, 4 brand new Michelin tires, and maintenance wise only…

    Seems like a crack pipe to me after the deal I got.

    I did some digging, if this uses the 245/50R20 fitment, even downsizing to 245/60R18 won’t get you access to the BFGoodrich T/A KO2. You can get Continental Terrain Contact A/Ts though. IF you want the big AT tires you’ll have to over size.

    Oh wow, J10>Golden Eagle, eh. Hot take.

    Certain titles now just stick out as a David article, and they very rarely disappoint!

    I saw the title and went “there’s no way this isn’t David”. Was not disappointed

    The Pontiac I respect is the Vibe. 1st gen was decently fun, and 2nd gen didnt look too bad even though it was a step backwards.

    Oh, this isn’t SEMA. This is in a private collection. Deep underground.

    That there’s a first gen CR-V.
