I used to be the proud owner of a 1991 Taurus SHO. It was a hoot to drive and for the day was righteously quick for a car that could hold five adults comfortably.

Or (devil’s advocate) you’re driving to work one day and drop your cell phone on the floor. You reach down to get it and take your eyes off the road for “just a second.” During that second a pedestrian steps out between the parked cars along the side of the road and you hit them. The pedestrian is seriously injured,…
Rod bearings are considered “wear items” by E39 owners. Once you get around 80-100K on a set you start sending a used oil sample out to Blackstone Labs to check for the level of metal content that indicates yours are on the way out. This is considered a DIY for the hard-core owners and it’s fairly easy to find folks…
Is that I-81 I spy in the “Welcome to West Virginia” sign? I’ve done the I-81 stretch so many times I’m pretty sure I could do it blindfolded now.
Wait, what? The good “Dr. Nick Laslowicz” is a ringer for Trump’s original “doctor” (Harold Bornstein). Seriously.
I have thousands of film photos from my days of using film plus several thousand slides I inherited from my father and another few thousand from my wife’s father. When I have the negatives, I use a film scanner (Nikon 4000, not available any more except on eBay). I use a flatbed scanner for photo prints (again,…
My wife replaced her iPhone 6 with an XR and she loves it. She uses her phone a *lot* to help out with her book business (apps to scan in ISBN numbers for buying inventory) so it’s not just a fashion accessory.
Fellow Southern transplant here. I can remember the Jello “salad” from the church picnics in rural Ohio during the 1960's.
As a former owner of an XJ12 (this car’s older brother) I couldn’t run away from this vehicle fast enough. We bought it as a “one owner” car (it really was the proverbial “little old lady” since we bought it from her estate) and with less than 80K miles. For the five or so years we had it I don’t think was roadworthy…
Neutral: We’ve purchased two cars from dealers in the last year and a half. My wife got a new Subaru after a guy in a 1982 Econoline totaled our Honda Odyssey. The dealership was so-so...we pretty much knew what we wanted and had cash in hand thanks to a quick payout from State Farm. Making the decision to buy took…
The automaker late last year announced intentions to focus more on customer loyalty and retention instead of conquesting buyers from other brands, which they say is harder. Customer experience is at the heart of retention, Ford said, and the company looked to non-automotive companies such as Apple, Google, Marriott…
I watched the Apple rollout video on News+ and it sure sounded like a good idea and a great deal...but instead we got a horror show of a UI (FYI, News+ really is 90% useless on a phone) and features that kinda/sorta work. This isn’t even good beta code.
All my stars to you, good sir (or madam as the case may be).
When I was in high school (early 1970's) I worked for a very old-school vet. While he was located in the suburbs of Philadelphia, his house was on a very large lot with maybe a half acre of uncleared land. That was the graveyard for the hundreds of animals that died under his care over the years and whose owners left…
This again? There was a more obscure version of this when someone created a parody account for the mayor of Peoria, Illinois (Not Jim Ardis, @NotPeoriaMayor describe as “Not the mayor or Peoria, IL. Parody account. Mayor Jim Ardis and the Peoria Police can suck it.”)
When the account first went up the mayor pulled all…
Former DNC chair Donna Brazile is joining Fox News as a contributor.
What, he didn’t go take a huge shit in front when leaving the restaurant? I’m not a SF resident but have been there on business enough to know exactly where this McD’s is....
I’ve owned at least five C&D “10 Best” cars. I do cross-reference them with Consumer Reports (the school marm of car recommendations) just to make sure.
He won’t run again. He’s already backing out with the “sickly” excuse. I almost pity the fool that the NCGOP picks to get their ass kicked in the special election. Almost.
Absolutely. I’ve had the F80 for about a year and a half now and I just don’t have the heart to sell the M5. It feels too much like putting a beloved pet to sleep....the M3 is jolly fun but the piped-in sound just sounds lame to the real sound of the M5's Dinan pipes.
