My wife drives stick. She was born in the P.I. and grew up in the SF bay area. Her grandpa taught her how to drive in a ‘94 Toyota tacoma and when it was her time to buy a car, she got a bit of a unicorn. 2000 Tacoma 2wd SR5 V6 5-speed. damned rare. Was special ordered and then the orderer declined it when it got in.…

2015 JK Willys Wheeler with the stick. I think the Wrangler has the highest take-rate of manual trans of any new car today...

As I’ve been told by numerous people... “Y’all aint from ‘round here, are ya...”

And that’s a a CJ7!!!!

My one year old wore his costume for all of 20 minutes. He was a sweaty little mess. Doesn’t seem fair after the torrential rain we had last halloween.

43 days... Yep. On one hand, I haven’t put the top up on my car in about a month, on the other hand, the fires will only get worse with time until there is no more scrub to burn. So, hell vs putting the top up. Please make me put the top up on my car.

I saw the smoke cloud yesterday when I was driving home (I live in Hoover, a suburb of Birmingham, and very close to Helena) but I thought it was one of the many wildfires that is burning around here. This state is in it’s worst drought since 2011. (I know that’s not that long, but with climate change, I fear this…

Speaking as someone who lives in Alabama, “ya’ll” is singular and “all ya’ll” is plural. Get it right.

Desire to know more... re:taillights, and will they fit onto a JK? I have been waiting for the aftermarket to do something that looks like the renegade tail-lights for the JK, and so far have been dissapointed.

Back when I was active in the San Fran region of SCCA SOLO2, there was a red/maroon Beetle with super wide sticky tires on it. As the announcer was wont to say, “When people ask on Monday how your weekend went, you have to tell them that you were beat racing by a great grandfather driving a VW bug.”

Swindon! The Magic Roundabout! I could watch video of that for hours.

Too bad THAT’s not true.

The second they make a police car hard to spot, it just went from public safty and law enforcement to revenue generation and harrassment. The “us vs. them” mentality has gone far too far, for far too long. This all comes from the increased “militarization” of our police forces in this country. I just wish I knew how…

Came here to say this.

Even better fun fact, the R34 in Fast/Furious4 wasn’t a GT-R. Oh, it was an R34 body, but it was the base model and it was stripped down to be as light as possible and had a VW flat-4 in the back driving a bug trans.

Exactly, total mass of the elevator will be the same unless the boat is touching the bottom of the channel in the elevator. Once that happens, you are no longer floating and Archimedes principle no longer applies. But, as long as the boat floats, and the height of the water line in the channel is the same each time,…

I wouldn’t mind. My wife and I usually have N+1 cars at our house where N is the number of licensed drivers. I wouldn’t ind at all to place an order, wait a couple of months and then have a car that I specced out exactly the way I wanted. While we’re at it, get me the ability to order options a-la-carte. If I want the…

Last feb I placed an order for a factory build on my Jeep. I wanted very specific options, and did NOT want other options. ANd I wanted a very specific color that was on the 2015 model year only. I plan on driving this thing until it falls apart, then I plan on rebuilding it even stronger so it will not fall apart. I…

They've had ~3 years to do it since the 5 came out. Hasn't happened yet.

I have been waiting for this mythical cable ever since the iPhone 5 came out. My wife’s 2013 has only an Aux in for audio, even though it has Bluetooth for calls, bluetooth for audio SUCKS. With her iPhone 3GS then 4s we bought a dock “y”cable that split charging and audio out from the dock. We hoped that when the 5…
