I had it’s 4door cousin while in grad school. The marauder was so smooth, fun, and the engine was incredible.

There’s environmental waste to consider as well, it’s not all about money. Tires are a lot more by volume than wipers to just replace every 6-7 years with 2 sets. Michelin Defenders and Continental DWS’ do pretty well in snow and if you’re in a temperate climate like the DC, Baltimore, or Philadelphia metro, you’re…

Since the people who usually buy minivans are the ones with kids THAT HAVE COMPLETELY GIVEN UP ON LIFE AND HAPPINESS, it’s good to pay extra attention to which ones are the safest.

As both as well, I also love these stories!!!! Keep up the great work, Elizabeth!

As a transwoman and a gearhead, this lady is an inspiration to me.

Volvo concept estate. Sleek, Volvoesque, low-slung shooting brake. It’s even brown. This is the most Jalop concept-car ever.

Your maths... science... something... is terrible.

Hey Tom, All of your GTI talk has me wondering how your 2015 has held up in the past 2+ years. I have a 2015 as well & have been (somewhat) problem free but curious if you’ll ever write something up on your experience so far.

Actually, trans women who are still on testosterone blockers (as EVERY SINGLE TEENAGE TRANS GIRL WOULD BE) perform worse than cis women, because those blockers also make recovery, both short-term and long-term, harder. And Trans boys tend to have lower testosterone in their systems if they’re even on HRT, because for…

This is a totally valid point. He really could just park the thing on his lawn. I think the HOA would still give him shit, but he’d be in a stronger position to defend himself. Perhaps literally.

Exactly. Love that sound.

Impromptu Jacobs ladder.

Nah, I race way more than him, I’m definitely the better driver.

2017 says go fuck yourself.
