An easier thing to do (and very popular in the off-roading community) is to just attach a spot sprinkler to your hose, set it under your vehicle, and move it slightly every few minutes until you’ve covered the whole underside. I own a pressure washer (with an undercarriage attachment) but use the sprinkler trick…

Agreed on upholding the deal. To be clear: in all but one case I honored the agreement. In the one case, instead of a discount, the financing guy threw in a free extended warranty (manufacturer plan, not a dealer plan). But then he conveniently misplaced the paperwork. Then he “accidentally” signed us up onto a…

You can use this information to your advantage in negotiating the price of the car. I’ve successfully done it on several of my vehicle purchases. The key is you have to be able to pay a huge chunk in cash. If you can buy the entire vehicle outright in cash, even better.

I suspect that a lot of Mustang bros already cross-shop the Toyota 86. From a business perspective, Toyota would cover a larger audience by moving much further upmarket and then filling in the gap later.

Why the stupid tiny wheels and massive wheel well gap? I mean, if we’re going for bullshit renders anyway...

I’ve never actually used these (waiting desperately for them to expand to Pasadena), but i would imagine there’s some sort of user tracking happening behind-the-scenes. For example, if somebody reports an issue with a scooter (I’m assuming you can do that?), keep a log of the last several riders of that scooter. After…

Call me a not-car-guy for saying this, but this thing is an ugly turd.

Confused. Needs more preamble.

I think I’m a weird, lunch-buffet induced state of delirium, but I would hit it.

As a growing single-digit-aged boy who was home alone a LOT, I used to watch my copy of this movie, hit pause on the VHS player when Jessica Rabbit was on screen, and do naughty things. Memories.

Stigmas and brand images are really hard to shake. The average younger buyers simply won’t ever ride a Harley for the same reason they’ll never consider Volvos nor Cadillacs. While all have some solid offerings (for people of most ages), they all carry negative perceptions of decades ago.

Got in a multi-day long debate with a couple friends over this while driving through Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho. We were driving faster than most vehicles, so they felt felt entitled to park in the left lane, whereas I kept insisting they move back over once they’re done passing. Their response was always a very…

I generally avoid headrests unless I’m dead tired, it just feels more natural. Even when I’m tired and slouching, I sometimes try not to use them because I feel like my oily, filthy, disgusting head is secreting all kinds of head juices everywhere.

I worked retail/restaurant scene for a good decade as well. So I totally agree. What’s even worse is I’m pretty sure many of them quite deliberately tried to cheat me. They would mumble their totals as they counted, and then randomly add on a few cents here and there, or a couple bucks to the total. I’d be watching…

The worst part of coin counters is that they always do it very slowly and leave the mess in a disorganized pile on “their side” of the register, leaving the cashier to awkwardly reach over to scoop everything up. Drives me insane.

Enterprise recently tried to put me in one of these when my horrendously-built JL Rubicon was in for repairs and the dealer ran out of loaners. I insisted on something else, and they put me in a beat-up Charger. Honestly, I should have taken the Journey.

No stupid Crossfire? Around Southern California, it’s a car always driven by not-so-successful upper-middle-age douchebags. These men always drive far too aggressively (unsafely) for city streets in a desperate attempt to convince everybody they drive real sports cars.

Plasti Dip might actually be an improvement for once.

I recently purchased a JL Rubicon. First thing the woman asked me when I told her I was seriously pondering the purchase was, “Oh no... you’re not going to get those stupid angry bro lights, are you?”

Same here. In fact, same size. 11 4E.
