“It’s a photography store. I was buying photography.”

There’s a room for reading in my house and I really, really do not want to drop my phone in, ahem, the “reading seat,” if you know what I mean and I think you number-two. I know we all talk about print dying, but there’s still something sort of special about it: the layouts, the pictures, and yes, even the fact that…

Bloody love these, but on what planet does one require a rev counter to adequately change gear in a manual? In 23 years of driving I can’t say I’ve ever relied on the Rev counter for that.

Still not much sympathy here. He had an illegal junk yard, the town gave him a chance to sell the vehicles, but wouldn’t accept that the cars were worth less than he thought, and then appears to have stopped trying to sell them at all once he thought the town wasn’t paying attention.

I love how that seat-belt plug has DO NOT USE as a disclaimer.

My friend was on the sidewalk when an unauthorized center cap flew off a Porsche and severed her hands and blinded her left eye.  She was wearing an authorized Ferrari jacket, which immediately caught on fire.

Maybe the Alfa you have that was built 22 years ago has little to do with the current ones, and yours can be completely reliable while newer ones are piles of shit? I think both are possible,  right? No need to be defensive. I had a perfectly reliable 2005 Cooper S. By all accounts the next generates a piece of trash.…

Wait, it wasn’t saved by Zero?

Sinding-Larsen-Johansson disease from repetitive impacts.

Its in nice condition but $5k is just asking too much. I recently sourced an example for my Sister-In-Law that had some minor cosmetic issues, and needed a rear hatch hinge replaced. Otherwise rust free and ran great. Supercharged and RWD with the automatic....

It’s not that onerous. You have to remove the passenger seat and a piece of the floor to get to it, but once you’ve undertaken that prep the engine is pretty easy to get to.

In this week of appliance reviews. A Fridge that keeps stuff cool. A stove that heats things up. A washer that gets clothes clean. A Toyota that is neither great or bad.

The next time I see someone using their phone while driving, I’m going to throw my beer at them.

They got the message.

Amazingly. Their identity fell off a cliff when they decided to “Q” all of the things. Threw away a bunch of brand equity with the G sedans that were actually very competent and competitive in their day and never gained it back.

Time to learn how to wrench.

At least like a dozen people. :)

The E-Tron is an example of how Tesla ends. Porsche’s Taycan will be another example.

When talking about EVs, efficiency means MPGe or mi/kWh.

This reminds me of the time they threw Mike Muir in an insane asylum cos he wanted a Pepsi. Just one Pepsi.
