Whenever I need to haul anything big, couple times. a year, I usually rent a van from Home Depot for $20. They have a tiny shitty backup camera screen in the rearview mirror that is good enough to make sure you don’t back into a car or run someone over, but obviously a cost-saver over a big dash screen. That’s what we…

I think we just need to go back to double-din units so that people can do what they want instead of being locked-in to whatever design the OEM came up with.

The reverse camera law was the first thing I though of when I started reading. I have never used one, but I think the best course of action would be to have that screen be integrated into the rearview mirror that some cars have. A basic LCD display would be all that is needed for a radio. Of course, going back to the…

I voted NP because I think that it looks like it’s in decent condition with fairly low miles, and it’s priced within negotiating distance.

CTS Sport Wagon is a good looking wagon. I could see a slight premium for it over a sedan. But this seems to be on the high side. Maybe around $12-14?

That fat fucker hopefully will have a fatal heart attack before he ever takes office. And when it comes to project 2025? Fuck it. I will outright refuse to adhere to ANYTHING it says we have to do. 

We’re all going to be eating a giant shit sandwich on pretty much every issue for the foreseeable future thanks to all the shit for brains who voted for Trump because he promised them he would magically lower the cost of everything they buy. A promise that he’s already distancing himself from is his interview for…

Right now it’s far too early in the ballgame to tell how this is all going to shake out

The 19 dollar a month Leafs? That was real. I should know, I got one. I live ten minutes from that dealership, and now it’s sitting in my driveway.

It doesn’t ever say what kind of car it was, that’s just a Hertz edition MachE because I had to have an image at the top of the story. 

1989 Corvette Z51 6MT. ‘89 was the first year for the 6spd they used until the C5 came out and it was the last year of the old LED-tastic interior.

The launch commercial should be argument enough. But beyond that, it’s got a digital dashboard, Faceman drove one on the A-Team, half my toys of the era were C4 Corvettes. Get the C4.

My truck doesn’t have an 8-foot bed, but it does a hell of a lot of towing. Exactly the kind of work I bought it for, quite capably.

I’m with you, and I’m not generally a fan of Corvettes.

I’d buy it: the price is surprisingly cheap, the dumb wing is easy to delete and resell, the muffler can be found at a parts yard, upholstery is easily cleaned and it’s a manual transmission as the sports car gods intended. Most NPOND posts show that most Jalopnik commenters aren’t willing to get their hands dirty or…

Project Farm did a comparison of the Harbor Freight Daytona Jack and the Arcan Jack. The Daytona Jack is every bit as good as the Arcan and is the #1 recommended jack. Build quality and parts are the same as the Snap on Jack which is built in the same factory on the same production line, with different stickers.

He’s just driving up on the curb and sliding under?  What is it you think is going to happen?  A sinkhole forming under him?

Yeah, if I’m getting all the way under a car, I’m putting the wheels I took off under the car, too. Or ramps. Or the jack. Or all three.

Same here, I feel the redundancy helps. If I can, I also put some of those wheel ramps under the wheels.

I know it isn’t practical to do so all the time, but I almost always lower the car onto the jack stand(s), then raise the jack back up to where it is slightly engaged. I figure it is an additional failsafe.
