The Crosstrek comes in a purple-ish/greyish/bluish color. The first time my daughter saw it she called it “pblgrbl” (pibblegribble). Wouldn’t otherwise be my favorite color, but now it kinda is.

Bent bumper on my old Dodge Ram 50 from getting rear-ended. It had pushed the right side of the bumper down about 2 inches, but still completely solid. I tried jacking it from the bumper and jumping on it, but it wouldn’t budge. And I had no issue with it passing inspection for a year or two, but then one year the…

I heard that the first automotive recall in history was because Henry Ford used Spanish moss as stuffing for seat cushions.  The chiggers living in the moss weren’t too happy about that.

It better be called the Sony Driveman

I like these in a “hey, here’s an idea I don’t think anyone has tried”/”function follows form” sort of way.  

Getting roasted by Kristen is evidence of a life well-lived.

Can’t say it’s the BEST casting, but it’s one of my favorites. Hardcastle and McCormick’s Cody Coyote

A nice leather wrap for that old sticky plastic steering wheel

How long have you been waiting for this moment?

Paul Simon made his pilgrimage to Graceland, but it was too far out of my way.  But there’s this...

I had an old KHS singlespeed with a rigid fork and a rubber-eyeball-seatstay rear suspension.  T’was indeed pointless, but a wonderful novelty.

I almost (but not quite) miss being able to lock up the brakes.  The sound of squealing tires is FAR more effective than a horn if you’re stuck behind a jackass

I always called Toyota’s C-HR “chair”

The best mods I ever did were to my 1990 Econoline camper van.  I leather-wrapped the steering wheel so I didn’t have to touch the sticky 30 yr old plastic, and I replaced the tape deck with a new one that had an aux port. 

Yeah, I sat in one and from the driver’s seat forward I was thinking “yeah, ok”. Then I looked at the back seat legroom for my growing pre-teen and thought “uh...let’s look closer at the GTI”

Though not a dickhead by most accounts, I actively shopped these because I find them absolutely beautiful...and even now, decades later, they still grab my attention when I see one. That said, you’re 99% correct.

When I was in my early ‘20's my parents asked if I wanted to drive down to the Ozarks from Kansas City for some reason or other. I said ‘yes’, thinking one last road trip with the parents for old-time’s sake...memories, you know? Instead it was one last time crammed in the back seat listening to them bicker for hours a…

Colorado is packed with different designs, and this one is by far my favorite.  And cheapest.

Saw the QOTD, googled this very image, saw you beat me to it.
