Nothing ever sticks to these guys though. It’s like they’re coated in teflon..

Fox 2 Detroit reports that this pan, posing as a salesman, created an elaborate scam that involved lies and resold cars.

“You still have to punish the poor driver”

I booked DMX at a show in Atlanta around... I want to say it was Halloween 2011. Anyway, I didn’t really know what to expect. At that point in his career, DMX was something of a novelty name to add to a bill. Our other acts that night were all pretty standard EARMILK fare, and our audience was probably just old enough…

She just carries so much f’ing speed around that track. It’s like they’re not racing in the same class. That’s just incredible. Thanks for sharing. 

Oh no I addressed that in the first paragraph - this is simply my take on this issue that has been around since I was in kindergarten. I definitely did not invent this issue, and that’s why I wrote this. 

I do like how this article tried to figure out the reasons for Americans to be so infatuated with trucks instead of screaming about banning them or some such nonsense. It was poignant and touched on a lot of good points about the possible psychology of this buying trend. It even explored the pros and the cons of these…

Weird that I can reply on this article but not post my own comment. Only problem with Laredo is now they’re renaming a trim level on the Grand too.

The term “schtick” implies some kind of performance. This is not that, it’s a passion that has existed since I was a child (a passion so strong it drove me to study engineering, move to Detroit, and work for Jeep).

I’m just buying whatever vehicle I want to buy (remember, I have to pay for these machines with my own…

In 1997, I acquired my driver’s license and my parents helped me buy my first car; a Nova. No, not the muscle car Nova, a 1987 Chevrolet Nova; the car based on the E80 Corolla. In the 1990s any four cylinder car made in the 70s or 80s was a $500-$1,000 throwaway car, which is why so few of them now exist.

I think it looks like an elephant standing on a loading dock.

I also think another big positive for them is that schools (at least larger ones) typically have fairly large fleets with high intermittent demand & long downtime intervals with a probably decent variety of routes & uses. To me, this means flexibility. Not every bus needs to be an EV. A big fleet means they don’t…

The magnetos did not spark joy.

Sweet. So I can shoot my Pantera if it doesn't start?

I initially thought “Hey.. for $3500 this is weird enough to make up for being a pile of trash”.

To be fair, I think the grille design before the refresh looked better. This BMW 3 series grille is a little too tame.

This does happen I help run a forum for Tercel 4wd Wagons and the amount of new members that join who were just after a winter beater and end up fixing up the car for DD or doing full restorations is great to see. A lot of these members have better and often enthusiast cars but enjoy the fun of working on an old car…

I REALLY like the styling of both the Juke and Cube...
