I like that it looks like a Golf from The Future.

That 10.5 hr recharge time you quoted for home 240V AC charging: Is that on single-phase or three-phase AC?

LOL! But all those criminal acts were him doing The Lord’s work, right? Was the lord like the godfather or something? Even The Bible says to give Cedar his due, IE, obey civil law.

Thanks for my MKIV Golf Piëch!

I green-light ideas #6 & #9.

My 2004 Volvo V70 wagon is rated to tow 3,500#, so long as the trailer has its own brakes.

I’ve had other issues implicating old capacitors in that van. Sometimes in door open chime on conditions, the security system would sort of half-heartedly activate the alarm. That was fun at 9:30 on a school night. The remote locks would also work only intermittently, now not at all. The air bag malfunction indicator…

Sometimes in 1993 E150 what happens is my speedometer pegs to the top end, the odo/tripometer display goes to gibberish and its text gradually fades away over the course pf perhaps 10 minutes, my cruise control becomes inoperative, and my transmission shifts become jerky. Typically this happens after driving during a…

Props to Toyota for still making a simple, affordable, no-nonsense car with an available manual transmission.

More luggage compartments need classy, big ass leather belts like this. No, not for tying down victi-erm-people. Why do you ask?

And those wheels!

I do, but my DD is stick-shift.

Laws like this are often intended to be a means for the government to increase revenues, but at the expense of people too poor to hire lawyers and lobbyists. 

Van time! This is my 1993 Ford E-150 Clubwagon Chateau. It was my mother’s daily driver for 25 years from new. Now I use it to cart around my family. Here we are in the Chisos Basin, Big Bend National Park.

NP. But admittedly this thing makes me nostalgic for the Mk II Golf I used to have.

I recently taught someone to drive. We tried on a manual first, but it soon became apparent that the transmission was really only a distraction from what I actually wanted to teach: vehicle dynamics & good practices. So we got an automatic and then it went much better.

I do, if only to help this guy to find his remote.

You’re doing exactly the wrong thing. Watch the horizon, or if not visible, then watch what the driver’s watching.

To what extent is this problem unique to the Hertz Corporation (who owns Dollar)?

My Lyft yesterday in Houston was in a late model Camry. I smelled something musty when I hopped into the backseat. Then I noticed the rust around the bolts fastening the front seat tracks to the floor and the warnings in the instrument cluster for malfunctions in the stability control and air bag systems. I was in a…
