1967 Mustang Coupe. He finally got rid of it when the cookie sheet riveted to the floor by the driver’s seat started to become smaller than the hole it was trying to patch. He traded it in for an AMC Matador wagon (I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth)

Not one mention of Elio

Driving through a wooded section to get my daughter from her high school right as a storm rolled in. Rain started and wind whipped up blowing dust and leaves across the road. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a big, dark shape coming across the road, probably the wind blowing trash. Nope, a deer. I let off the…

Early ‘90's riding I-80 just east of Laramie. Normally the wind is out of the west giving a headwind on the way down, but this day it was out of the east. I was sitting upright, not hearing any wind in my ears and my cyclometer read 55mph, which was my current fastest speed. I started spinning as fast as I could to…

I know it’s not really a Mustang, it’s too tall for that. And I know there are other electric cars that have a bit more flair, but since they were introduced i’ve been in the mood for a tall vanilla mach-e auto

Norelco. At least they’ve got the winter driving chops, what with three wheel drive and all...

Rule number one of finding a thermos: you don’t want to know what’s inside

I had an ‘85 Audi Coupe that I bought used in the mid ‘90's. Occasionally I’d hear a ‘thunk’ coming from somewhere whilst cornering sharply, but I couldn’t figure out from where. I thought maybe the door, but the only thing within a door heavy enough to make that loud of a noise would be the regulator, and if that was…

San Francisco. SF would be more extreme than Detroit 

Three grand might be a lot for an electronic bike, but it’s not a lot for a bike.  I do actually have a question...it involves wheelies.

I might be an outlier, but growing up we were an AMC family. Not strictly, but we had more than most. The first car I remember was our Rambler Marlin. I think we had another Rambler before the Marlin, but I would have been really young then. Then came the Matador station wagon; googling images it must have been a ‘73…

I had planned to suggest Elio Motors as the biggest automotive flop, but I put off introducing anything until it was too late.

My family had a Rambler Marlin, though we never had an Edsel. I honestly don’t know if that supports your theory or totally opposes it. 

last time I was used car shopping one of these popped up in my search. I researched it a bit and found that ZDX stands for “Zero Demand Expected”.  I decided against it because I didn’t want to spend my time explaining it to people.

Thanks for this stinging honesty. I’ve had a lot of the same feelings around people not anywhere near the high rollers you were with, but with time comes balance. I never felt comfort around people I grew up with because I had less. Less money and less opportunity. I remember something coming to me as I went to my…

Forgot my 1990 Econoline camper van.  “Thunderbucket”

I think the only car I’ve ever named was my first, a ‘73 VW Type 3 fastback. It didn’t move very fast, but was a nice place to sit so I called it “my chair”.

I had the same requirements and ended up with one of these. Too small to crash in the back, and I was told I’d have to rearrange the exhaust to install a hitch for my bike rack (factory cross bars are ridiculously close together, rendering them nearly useless) . That and the fact my neighbor’s Ram 1500 gets EXACTLY…

“I Like the design”

I saw these guys at the spring festival at Copper Mountain a few years back. During their warmup some little kids started dancing, so they played a song for them.  They told the adults to come back later for the show, this song was just for the kids.  Nobody can say anything bad about this band around me after that.
