2015 Fiat 500L. The only weakness in this car is ... Uconnect. I’d love to change to CarPlay, but I’d have to replace the head unit and that’s an expense I won’t take on.

Better solution: Allow for the optional CarPlay software to be swapped out for the steaming pile of drek that is ... Uconnect.

Don’t even know where to begin. More research? My years in intelligence at one of those three-letter agencies where we actively planned and practiced various scenarios involving limited and total nuclear exchanges as part of land, air, sea, and yes, space operations taught me one thing: nobody wins when nukes are…

And a useful-sized bed.

Stop this. The first article was bad enough. Continuing to spread lies like a person could, “survive,” a nuclear holocaust, or a limited exchange, or even a ballistic missile attack (which tries to ignore that the warhead on such missiles would be nuclear) is irresponsible and foolish.

Most fans of this car replace that stock engine with the 5.0 litre that was optional and much preferred. Too much money for what is a nice example of this model, but hampered by a motor with a history of crapping out when least helpful.

Absolutely! My family of choice has been supportive, loving, warm, accepting, critical when need be (calling someone on their B.S. is an act of love), and, “home.” Shared genetics is a poor excuse for allowing ourselves to be harmed again. We do not have to remain in contact with those who abused us. Period

And this, my friends, is one of the best demonstrations of the disdain for fellow humans that is rendering this society fractured, mean, and increasingly dysfunctional. Lack of empathy is one of the most telling symptoms of psychopathy. When it permeates a society, that society is doomed.

Let me join the chorus and ask ... what about the pickup?

OTR drivers get paid by the mile. If they’re sitting, waiting, they’re not making money. Quick, convenient recharge sites will be a must if this is to work.

Tito sure thought so.

The seats went all the way back. Enough room.

These days, you need parts cars to keep one running, it seems.

Of all the cars I’ve owned, I miss my Yugo not quite as much as I’d like to think. I had good luck with it, and would love to get a ragtop model since that was the year they finally got their manufacturing quirks sorted out, sorta, mostly. Like all machines, if they were/are maintained, they should last a good long…

The heat in Arizona kills everything. It just takes a little time.

Hair. Velcro loves hair. Hair? Not so much with the returning the love.

AKA, “Why Detroit lost massive market share in the 1970s and 80s.

Bought an ‘85 Sedan deVille for a few hundred bucks many years ago. It came complete with a very saggy headliner. Easy, cheap solution since I didn’t want to head down the, “restored to showroom beauty,” route was to buy some decorative tacks, and create a faux-quilted-look pattern. It lasted about a year, then the…

Worked for a man who owned one of these in the mid-80s. His was automatic, though. But, he was able to make it to work on snow days because that thing just powered through. He even said that’s why he got it, so he could keep the business running no matter what.

It took the Japanese a while to figure out that their cars were fine for Japan, and the Japanese, but American tend to be physically larger than Japanese and so, we just couldn’t fit easily into their cars. The CRX was amazing in that regard because, by then, they, “got it.” I’m a six footer, and I slid neatly into…
