Again, Florida.  Again.  

I, too, have never liked anything that came with the cavet: “look, but don’t touch.”  Having to shut down 20% of your human nature is a non-starter for me.

I’ve often wondered if your writing staff engaged in recreational drug use - this article confirms that they do. Not that I give a damn, but I do think it makes you folks a little loosey-goosey with your recommendations. Don’t know what car to buy? Get either a Honda Accord or a Toyota Camary. Down the road, if you…

The answer to the buy/blow-it-off decision is always the same: if you have access to a garage and a friend who owns a body shop and owes you a favor (a big favor), then you’ve got the odds in your favor. If this is not the case and you’re going into this caper with only good intentions and some mismatched wrenches…

All the guy in the F250 succeeded in doing is making his financial situation worse - much worse. What do you think it would cost to fix his truck after he dented up the fenders and jacked the suspension? $3500 maybe? Likely more. And what, if any, damage did he do to the tow truck? And remember too, this is Florida.…

I love the Ford GT 40, but isn’t spending time on expensive rides (aka not affordable by working stiffs) turning us into rock star worshipers? Yeah, okay, there are folks with more money than me - apparently, a lot more. This is a given. But how about more articles about rides we can actually dream about owning…

Good reporting. You might have titled this article: “Welcome to the Texas Miracle!” The Texas economy has two main elements: 1) good old boys swindling everybody they can and, 2) an army of cheap labor from central and south America. Can you guess which group is the most honest?

Great post, waetherman.  Loved the humor.

A guy in a Ford 150 pick-up truck? Who would have thought!

I worst car break-up was with a 1971 MGB, which I bought new in Detroit. The car was eye-candy and got many compliments and second looks. Sometimes from the police. We parted company about 22 months into the ownership cycle because it left me stranded just 5 times too many. It always looked good; being towed, sitting…

Spot on commentary. You asked what they were carrying in those monster trucks? Answer: their fragile egos, their insecurities, their general dismay at life - all of which are symptoms are larger issues that have nothing to do with transportation. Large trucks are cries for help from empty suits.

“..he’s been driving the pace car for the Detroit GP for years.” Well, that puts things in a slightly different light. I have to conclude that familiarity does breed contempt. No such thing as another day at the office...

You make a good point. Most American manufactures have given up on cars completely. I think many of us saw this coming...

Tom, your article was spot on. For a long time, it has been obvious to car guys that American manufacturers have ceded the small car market - and now, all cars - to the Toyotas and Hondas of the world. This is a tough pill to swallow, but maybe by focusing on a niche (and getting good at it) American industry can do…
