2017 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 pickups will be built on fully-boxed frames under the cab that’s 95 percent steel, and Ford claims is 24 times stiffer than the last truck’s.

Me too. A gray ‘88 I drove in high school and college. I kind of miss it. This monstrosity does nothing to fill that empty hole in my heart.

VW should compensate their dealers for being stuck with *all* of the non-Golf vehicles.

Starred for pointing out that my old 200SX SE-R could’ve beat a Ferrari.

RaggedMile is right. They blow a hole in the canopy for the ejection seats to go through. Some planes just blow off the entire canopy instead.

Yay. But it’s still not quite a normal gauge cluster either. Still, an improvement.

I definitely notice it in my Si. Definitely do not in the Odyssey (major surprise). The thing is, I did notice it in my ‘07 Sienna (not VTEC obviously, but same idea), so I think it depends on how much of a difference there is between the profiles when it switches.

Ha! A few years ago a local dealer was running a “Buy a Sedona, get a Rio free!” promotion.

Can we keep the percentage of rotary-related questions to under 50%?

grape-soda-colored Honda Pilot,

You don’t get the car until the lienholder is paid off.

Donald Trump is a renewable source of hot air.

I was going to suggest he integrate VTEC into his valvetrain, yo . . .

Infiniti J30. Lots of Nissans of that era had this stupid short sloping trunk, but I think the J30 was the worst of them.

On the one hand, tense negotiations can be stressful. On the other, you might end up getting a pretty steep discount. Do you think haggling actually benefits or hurts the consumer?

I’m getting sick of the word “bespoke.”

Pink airbags? Shouldn’t they be camo or something?
