I know. Some Chinese food made him sick as a child (like, food-borne illness and hospitalization sick) and he's had an aversion to everything that could vaguely be considered Asian cuisine ever since. I keep telling him how much he's missing out on, but he just won't try it.

Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday

"Pulled over on three separate occasions for traffic violations."

Here's how that happens:

1: A bottom end failure occurs due to defective bearings, oil starvation or detonation which puts metal filings from the destroyed rod and/or main bearings everywhere through the oiling system.

2: Dealership replaces the short block but re-uses oil pump, oil pan, oil cooler and doesn't clean…

I guess it was a no sho.

For what it is worth, there is nothing wrong with an electric chainsaw whatsoever. In my garage, at this moment, I have an ancient Power Mac 6, some shitty Poulan thing that works better than it ought to, a nice Stihl one, and a little red electric Fisher-Price looking Homelite. $50 at Home depot.

Modern era of NASCAR began in 1972, when the racing landscape changed considerably. Prior to 1972, the number of races was all over the place — some years there were 48 races, other years there were as many as 62. And what constituted a NASCAR Sprint Cup (then Winston Cup) race changed as well.

You have to be joking. Gordon would have more championships if not for that dumb as hell "Chase". Gordon is one of the all time greats, but that doesn't make Earnhardt any less of a driver. Having more wins than him is in fact a pretty big deal.

Show of hands: who else Googled Mitchum-Humpsterfumper Disease?

Tav, I know you put an M5 in the subject (or at least an E39 with M5 fogs), but I think the E39 540i M-Sport is the ticket for this one.

Here, this might help

My grandpa's friend used to have one that was slammed, but only on one side because the air ride collapsed.

Wasn't that the Mazda Millenia?

Here's a real brain teaser—-name the only passenger car to use a Miller cycle engine. (googling is cheating).

I look forward to seeing more photos. I have to admit I'm not exactly won over by its appearance in this one photo. I also look forward to learning out its MPGs. The last incarnation was terrible in that regard.

And I'm even more confused why Buick still exists.

I don't think my dad got that far before he just called it the "Chrysler Clunk". Somewhere around year 10 of its life, he started regularly checking while driving if the gearshift was slipping out of D.. sometimes it did. He got something like 20 years out of the thing though before it wasn't worth fixing.. frame…

Whoever buys this better not cheap out on a tire gauge and get the digital one. You don't want the rear end to just slip out from under you.

I'd like to see that litigated. Consumers are asked to sign all kinds of non enforceable things these days.
