Meanwhile, in the world of peasants, we just buy all season tires and run them until they look like they’re racing slicks. Changing tires to match the season isn’t common in my area. Probably because I live in Texas and Summer lasts 11 months out of the year, with Winter lasting 2 months, and Fall and Spring each…

She might be wrong for that area, but she’s probably right about a lot of other areas. Race cards are played left and right by both sides, sometimes subtly and sometimes blatantly.

There are a few things about Paul Walker I never understood surrounding his life and death...

I always felt that the Ranger punched well above it’s weight class. I had a ‘94 Ford Ranger Regular Cab with the 2.3 Liter and a 5 speed. It was technically rated as a 1/2 ton pickup, but I know that there plenty of times I had more than 1,000 lbs of cargo (counting myself) in the truck, and I definitely towed more…

I had a hard time getting out of First Gear. Here are my thoughts...

1st gear: if GM can lump Silverado & Sierra numbers together, then I guess it’s fair to lump F Series numbers together.

I’m not sure that the engineering firm is really eating crow on this. The first report pretty much said Tesla was building a shitty car that wasn’t worth nearly $60 grand. The second report says the parts and labor alone gave them a 30% profit margin. Wouldn’t that reinforce that the car is overpriced for the quality…

Well great. Where before I just thought it was a stylized “H”, I now think it looks like the dude on the right is shaking the dude on the left’s penis. You can’t unsee that. Thanks, Torch.

1) lack of inexpensive cars. The “stripper” models that used to be available with manual transmissions, AM/FM radio, manual windows & locks, etc.

1. I need this car (I really don’t.)

Now for the bigger question. How the Hell do you get a four door coupe? I can sort of understand a two door sedan. But I’ve seen new cars advertised as four door coupes and it drives me nuts.

This is like racism. There’s plenty of racists that can’t stand a certain race. Then as soon as they see someone of the gender they like that’s really attractive, there comes a “but I’d make an exception...” moment.

I do believe a short bed (preferably stepside) regular cab pickup with a V8 and manual everything is automotively and visually perfect. It looks rugged and sporty. But for families that can’t afford to buy more than one vehicle at a time, a crew cab or extended cab makes sense.

I regret that I can give you only one star. COTD contender

I think you had a typo. It should have been “People aren’t sure who they would sue first”. Luckily, there’s plenty of lawyers who would be willing to assist them. They’ll end up suing the vehicle owner, the person “in control”, the software developer, the car company, the state that let the vehicle on the road, the…

All of them. Specifically three of all of the available colors and options of each year and each make and model. Why three of each year, make, model, and each option group? One for stock and display, one to drive exactly like that, and one to modify and drive. Obviously due to income and space, it’ll never happen. But…

Lastburner, really? You’re still on this? Okay. I’d suggest that you read this slowly so it’ll hopefully sink in.
There are many ways to word something. “Negative Equity”, “Negative Value”, “Loss”, “Deficit”, and a few others all try to convey a similar situation. You can try to nitpick all you want, it doesn’t bother…

First and foremost, the Ford Ranger (not the new one that’s trying to steal the fame from the name, but the REAL Ranger). Why such an obsolete little truck? Simple. Because it’s SIMPLE. There’s nothing the distract you from driving. I’d recommend it with a manual transmission and a four cylinder. With the 2.3 (or…

There’s a reason I said “most”, but to be clear, if you pay off the loan, you’re paying off the principal and the interest. For most people, they’ll never have a vehicle that’s worth more that the total amount of money they paid into it. Yes, the vehicle may have residual value, but cumulatively you have a negative…

I know I’m white and that means there’s automatically things that I’m not going to understand about another culture. I do recognize that ribs, fried chicken, and watermelon is traditionally associated with black people (although as a native Texan, I could also point out its a traditional meal here). And I know that…
