Looks like Dodge took this concept as inspiration for the Dodge Daytona of the 80’s

It used to happen all the time when I worked at Wal-Mart. It’s a very common scam. Unfortunately it is very hard to tell if this guy is the scammer or if he’s just the poor sucker that bought the box of wood.

I will file this alongside the latest Alfa Romeo revival story.

Are the laser systems capable of inflicting damage at a range an enemy’s radar can lock on, and can the laser destroy the target before the incoming missile destroys its aircraft?

It’s no fun, trust me. Raindrops are like little bullets, and in cooler weather it’s soooo cold

There are just some people in this world who want to just try and see what they can get by complaining. They complain at they checkout to try and get something free, complain about dinner to eat free, and will put up a fuss (real or not) after you sell them a used car. They take the old adage “it never hurts to ask”…

It’s all down to the traction control system. Ford designed the GT500 to be able to have some wheel spin within the confines of the traction control system. That doesn’t mean try and do a burnout on a tight road with other cars around.

Ford Contour SVT. I may or may not have bought that car because of that exhaust sound...

Steeper fines are a good thing. As we have seen with VW, and with GM on the ignitions, and with Ford on the different crash structures for the new F150, automakers can and do willfully cut corners. They should be held to account when they do.

The majority of millennials I know make enough money to live independently, but have made the decision to milk their indulging parents for free room and board and other perks, so that they can keep their pay as disposable income. There is no shame. The mindset seems to be: “Why shouldn’t I take what’s offered?” What’s…

Unless they can establish that the Porsche was defective in some way, Porsche isn’t responsible for bad driving.

...and every Z/28 owner that paid full price just slit their wrists....

Why are so many sports cars designed to by physically too small for taller drivers to fit or to be comfortable to drive ( seat doesn’t adjust or recline enough). There’s no reason for it

Really? That’s what we need? A car that guesses our musical preferences and suggests restaurants to eat at? That’s literally the last thing I am interested in. Heck, Siri tries to give me traffic info every time I get in the car, but she mostly guesses wrong as to where I am headed, so her info is useless.

Let’s face it, Mazda has limited resources to fund new engines. It makes more sense to develop a turbo I4 that could also be used in the 6 and the Mazdaspeed3 than it does to design a new V6 (the current CX=9 uses a variation of a Ford V6). Instead of bitching, be glad that Mazda has a nice new turbo motor for other…

Back in the day I had a Ford Contour SVT. The center console cupholders were completely useless. They were shallow, and had notches for coffee cup handles, but they weren’t actually designed to hold anything in place. I found that out the hard way when I drove up a steep hill and my soda can went flying under my seat…

The key to the money order scam is that banks have to release funds to the person cashing the check, despite that it still takes 2 weeks for the check or money order to really clear. First of all, everyone needs to recognize the scam for what it is. But if you do fall for it, at least wait the 2-3 weeks before giving…

Ahh the mysteries of the shipping world. In April 2014 I ordered a dining room table online. Almost immediately it was back ordered by the website. No big deal, I wasn’t ready for it anyway. Eventually It was allegedly shipped, but it never arrived. So I called the company, and they couldn’t explain where it went, and…

We do need global emissions and safety regulations, or at least reciprocity. It is such a waste of money designing all the subtle differences into cars for different markets. But each country’s regulators have been prideful so far about their particular regulations, so not much progress has been made.
