Thanks for this. For years, my ideal “me time” was putting on a pot of coffee and spending Saturday morning in the garage tinkering with some car in the company of Ray and “Tawmy”, and alternately yelling and laughing at the radio. The reg plate holder on my Subaru reads “I’m not laughing at you - I’m listening to Car…

Ew - let me grab an umbrella quick

Can’t decide if this is a serious comment or not

I could see that - my dad was as good a driver as I’ve ever known, until he felt that he was getting too old to drive safely, so he sold his car and rides the bus. My wife drives OK, but she’s a bit of a lead foot. 

When we had an Odyssey, I’d let anyone use it - it’s an auto van - what the hell could happen? I’m a little choosier about the outback, but since it’s a stick, I get few takers. I lent it to my brother in law for a couple of weeks when he was doing some touring in the US. He returned the favor by lending me his Alfa…

I was going to go with “the language of autoerotic asphyxiation”, but putting “Welsh” and “erotic” in the same sentence just didn’t work for me

Feckin’ Welsh git should have his leeks confiscated for egregious abuse of a perfectly good Passat. Even if Skodas (an Octavia, I think) are really made from Reynolds Wrap, this is over the top (sorry!)

Say after me: abber-IST-with

The military’s excuse of “I was just obeying orders” became unfashionable around 1945

It comes with a back window fairing?! Those things are rare as hens teeth - sign me up!!

Well that’s a pisser...

I was recently shopping for a Hyundai (Kona), but I sat in the Veloster N. Having driven a Veloster with DCT, and having enjoyed the experience, I imagine an N with a 6MT would be a hoot. Yes, it’s pretty plasticky, in common with most Hyundais, but it’s not offensive. Our Kona runs its navigation off an iPhone…

It pains me to say this as a former resident, but they sure breed’em stoopid down in Arkansas. 

This thread is spiraling
