This solves the biggest problem with rear-engined cars: The flame stickers can now go on the FRONT of the car

I had a friend who showed me a fun trick...she picked up the far end of the gas station hose and blew into it, triggering the bell. She kept doing it until we got chased away by the grease monkeys. A lot of disgusting effort for a quick laugh, but it wasn’t my mouth.

I’ve been a car guy my entire life and I’m still amazed that with so many thousands of moving parts in an engine, the default is it works.

A Corolla GTI? Sort of? Hmmmm....I’m listening...

The Impreza even more so. Mountain passes mean WFO in third or knocking in fourth.

I don’t care if owners are using them on road, off road, whatever. I just care that they think they should get special consideration in a small parking lot

Before I even KNEW about the GTI golfball shift knob I used an actual golf ball as a shift knob on my old VW Type 3. Screwed off the original, drilled a hole in the golf ball about the same size and screwed it on. Honestly its the perfect shift knob...the OEM GTI “golf ball” knob is just too big.

My 14 year old daughter LOVES Jeeps. I was totally proud of that fact until she pointed out WHICH Jeep. Yeah, the Liberty. “But I really like the Compass too!” she said.

I banked on my old truck starting down a hill for a long time, until one night when it was -20. Of course my battery was dead, but everything was so cold it was like rolling the truck through pudding, I couldn’t get enough speed to start it. So I was stranded AND it was -20 degrees. THEN I bought a new battery.

whoops, replied to the wrong person

Now you’ve done it, you’ve awoken anger. I went to a car lot when I was 23 years old, they had a 4wd Tercel wagon which was in my price range, but the sales schlub said I looked 15 years old and laughed in my face when I told him my real age. He didn’t make a sale that day, and I didn’t get a 4wd Tercel wagon. I have…

If, as I assume, Corinthian Leatherface is your actual name I’m sorry if I offended you. I’ve heard about your family. I don’t want trouble.

My girlfriend had one, a 1990 I think. I remember driving east across Kansas on a hundred-degree day, AC blowing and trying to keep it around 80 we started overheating. We panicked because we were young, poor, and knew nothing about cars. We pulled off at the first exit, drove about 8 miles north to a small town with…

I really want a Toyota, but they don’t have a single car I’m interested in. The Supra is great, but not my thing. I think I could get excited over a Corolla GTI though.

I saw an interview with Ricardo Montalban on Johnny Carson once where he was asked about these commercials. First I remember him saying his father was from Cordoba...pronounced CORDoba. “No, no” they said, “it’s CorDOba”. Then he was asked about the Corinthian leather. He said something like “They came up with a rich,…

I want a nostalgic remake of the CC.

So...what did you get at the mall?

When it comes to a story-telling contest, bet on the Aussie.

They’re getting closer to my ideal car:

Oh man...
