Escalade. Maybe not HIS style, but it does have it.

But if the dealer does something that is LESS than satisfactory the survey is a good place to express that. My dealer fugged up a repair so I unleashed fury on the survey. I got a couple of apologetic phone calls from the boss and the boss’s boss, and the next time I went in I was treated like a sultan.
Exactly this. I had a ‘12 GTI and thought about looking at the GLI because it was a couple grand less on the lot, but it’s truly not the same car, so I didn’t even bother to drive the GLI.
My first car was an old air-cooled VW, and this is the first I’ve ever heard of this book. Most of my wrenching was on that car, learned from trial and error and error and error. Possibly why I don’t work on my own cars anymore.
I had a bit of that sort of anxiety myself a couple weeks ago when I traded in my GTI. I loved that car, but I wanted something a smidge bigger, a smidge cushier, and AWD. Oh, and reliable.
My vote is to ditch the Chrysler and do your road trip in the Trabant, amirite? Anyone? Anyone?
He wants an Infiniti EX35 (or 37 or QX50, depending on the deal). Same size as the Impreza, but with 300hp
My first car was a Type 3 which had one of these. Incredibly, the guy at the car lot actually pointed out this light and told me correctly what it was for. Later that winter I discovered I needed to drive one-handed so I could use the other to scrape the frost off the inside of the windshield, but this light gave me…
We had the Geo Tracker version of this, and after all these years I still have mixed thoughts. I loved the fact that if felt like a machine. Or rather, it felt mechanical, like an old car but with fairly modern conveniences. And in 4wd it had a completely different personality, like little Bruce Banner turning into an…
Didn’t it also have a carburetor?
I thought that was Jack Torrance and Harry Callahan in the car
I’ve been waiting years for Torch to go in-depth on the Mach 5. Sigh...Maybe there’ll be followup articles.
When I was a kid we were allowed a candy bar at each stop. I always chose Bit-o-honey. I let each piece dissolve in my mouth and by the time I was finished we were at our next stop.
It’s Canada, so it’s a 14 METRIC day quarantine.
Sounds like its not an option for you, but we did a nice, long road trip a couple months ago...me, my wife, and my daughter. Three drivers, we set up one of those gym class volleyball-style rotations, each driver had a two hour shift. Two shifts the first day, one shift each the second day and an 18 hr drive was…
High school in the early ‘80's, a buddy was thinking of replacing his Pinto and really liked the Saab 99 and the early 900's. I saw an ad for a 96 for sale, and since the 99 and 900's looked pretty similar I figured the 96 did as well. I convinced him to drive past the car lot, but I couldn’t convince him to get out…
I’m totally cool with the change, “crack pipe” didn’t rhyme.
We rented a Rendezvous when they first came out. Our car was small and crappy, so renting the Buick was supposed to be a treat. It wasn’t.
My uncle still drives a K car. He said he figured out he gets the best mileage at 35 mph, so that’s how fast he drives it. Be on the lookout.
