Just to be contrarian, I’ll share a story that is not sketchy in the least. I lived in NYC for 6 years. Probably one of the first friends I made after moving there alone was a homeless (or possibly barely housed) man named Lloyd who would ask for change on the same train (the N train to Astoria) most days. He had a…

$40k gets you a loaded Mazda CX-5 turbo. Just look for the signature trim. You can even get it with the best red in the automotive industry. Sorry, Ferrari. 

Me too.... 

I lent a car to a person I barely knew.

Pulled over to pee on a dark wooded road in the night. I took one step into the woods and slid down a ravine that I didn’t see. My buddy with me took the car to walmart and got rope to pull me out. I was lucky and got away with just a few scratches.

Nobody likes typos, but c’mon, don’t pretend that’s indecipherable. It’s clearly, “Fishermen on the Pecatonica River in Northern Illinois likely had no idea that their sonar would lead to a breakthrough in a nearly 50-year-old missing persons case.”

A rental.

You say “Shadow”... I had one of those in an AFX slot car.  Nose was so low it used to hit the track joints and stop so I filed it down to make it clear them.

In Phoenix the temperature is currently: “Man’s arrogance”.

Because people want to believe in a higher power that will help guide their lives. Only humans do this. I’ve never seen a deer, or some birds, sit down and watch the sunset every day. The Wolf howls towards the moon but does not ponder it’s existence. The physical stars and planets do affect us though. The moon…

Not yet. I am waiting for the “Take This Quiz to Find Out What Kind of Windshield Wiper You Are!” article.

Have you tried rolling the jeep over onto it’s roof, and then loading?

lovely imagery, erin marquis... well done.

Been a Ford Maverick Hybrid owner for 10 months. It is my first hybrid vehicle and the oddly satisfying part for me is the gas mileage. I can make a 20 mile drive to a friends house up and down some sizable hills and make 50+ mpg. Going down hills the regen holds the speed to what I want. Going up hills the engine is…

Funny, I have a Volt also and just posted almost the exact same thing! 

2013 Chevy Volt. I had no idea how much I would LOVE driving around just on the battery. I bought the car as kind of a test-run for getting a BEV at some point in the future and between the silky smoothness of the acceleration and the near total silence of the electric motor, it is so satisfying to drive and never…

Hurts me to say this, but NA Miata. I don’t want to call it a Lotus Elan ripoff, but for all intents and purposes, it was. It was the late 80's best interpretation of Elan. They even tested like 96 exhaust systems to come up with the sound best reminds of Lotus twin cam.
