You've apparently never been part of a stereotype group that gets harassed based upon your appearance, race, or assumptions. As a guy who has been pulled over thirteen times in the past six years, has no record, no driving infractions, does no drugs, nor drinks at all, and actually runs a blog about realistic

I agree with you. If I lived up north, I would buy a sub-$5000 YJ Wrangler and call it good. The end. Why buy a new car to beat the hell out of it in the snow and ice and get the interior all damp and musty?

A BMW guy with humility. Good on you, sir. You are a rare breed!

1979 MGB. The low gearing and pizza cutter tires made it my snow beast of choice for three years.

That's brilliant...

This franchise is the only one I ever see in theaters because I'm not really a movie person. Even though the plot lines are pretty out there, the action scenes more than make up for it. That and since I'm from Metro Atlanta, seeing places I know and roads I have driven on numerous times adds a little something to it

My daily is a 52 year old four door without air conditioning and I've not once wanted power windows/locks, or a remote of any sort for it. Nor on any car I own in the future.

Fact: It will remove its casing and rub together like a Boy Scout starting a fire with two sticks until it catches fire. If you listen closely, you can hear it come alive at night in order to fulfill such a death wish.

A guy brought one to Caffeine & Octane (Atlanta's C&C) and managed to clip a tree branch. It fell on top of an old, concourse quality SAAB from about 15ft. and the owner was within an inch of beating the guy to death if the attendees hadn't stepped in to hold him back. I think they're annoying in public spaces.

I just think it's up to the consumer to do the research to either prove or disprove advertisement claims. You know, personal responsibility? If it were a serious issue, people would go after them legally for being deceived by those companies. But who am I kidding? I learned to trust nobody and do my own research

I laughed a little too hard at that...

Bingo.

Pretty much the same profile as a 1967 body. That's why I prefer the 64-66' with the shorter overhang.

They're not around because they are self-recycling. What I mean by "self-recycling" is that they rust into oblivion if you so much as sneeze on one.

My daily is a very early 1963 (built July of 1962) and it doesn't have a single Mercury badge on it either besides the head of the god Mercury in the horn button and gas cap. Nowhere, not even on the door tag does it say Mercury. I think that is part of the charm of that weird branding period. It has fins and quad

The horse mask looks more like a camel to me... Yep... Over thought it.

I daily a '63 Comet. No Mercury badging beyond the gas cap and horn button center. I am told the first few years are this way because of the Edsel history. In other words, the badging was an afterthought.

Not a car project, but I'm building a 20ft. industrial style hi-top table for a barber shop in Fort Worth. I'm driving it there from here in Atlanta next Wednesday. http://www.jdrewsilvers.com if you want to follow along on Instagram.

I sort of doubt that, personally. If the mechanic is a seasoned Audi tech, an S4 probably isn't all that drool-worthy. Maybe if it were an R8. Sort of like when I worked in country club management and everyone said "I bet you love being able to play so many awesome golf courses whenever you want." But when your job is

I wish I could start a trade school revolution. I was kicked out of Seminary before my senior year (that was fun, haha) and now I design and build furniture. DIY types are building junk out of Home Depot framing timbers and old pallets these days and if they put some time into really learning how to build legit
