You can go cheap, but you have to do your research and find out who really makes the tires. For example, I’ve got a set of Hercules Tour 4.0s on my wife 06 CR-V. Never heard of them, but after some Google sleuthing, find out they’re owned and made by Cooper, a reputable company. 3 years and 32k miles later, haven’t…

My friend’s mom had one of these with leather when we were in high school in the early 2000s. I remember sitting in the backseat and having to brace myself as the car’s soft suspension and nearly flat seat would have me sliding all over the place at the mere thought of a corner when we were allowed to use it. Pretty…

Looks a hell of a lot better than the one I see rolling around NW Columbus, Ohio. A little on the high side for the year and mileage, though.

“Will you be checking any bags this morning sir?”
“Yes. One bag and one hatchback.”
“Um.....”

No VIN, no way.

Same with me. It’s 20 miles each way for me, but I take curvy two and four-lane roads the whole way, most of it right along a river. It’s longer than the highway, but it’s much less stressful.

Interested until I saw the front end.

:(

I had one of those fancy snowsuits growing up as a kid. I also wanted my parents to get a Mitsubishi Expo van for some reason too.

After watching the video, I’m surprised the Focus won. They both seem to gush over the Civic whereas only one of them really like the Focus.

Damnit, now I’m going to spend the next hour looking at them on Autotrader. Thanks.....

But he had those sweet beadlock wheels though. That should’ve saved him.

And all we have in Columbus are these everyday Rolls-Royces.....

I don’t know about this. The best Focus was the Mazda3. Lighter, better steering, more practical.

My buddy had this EXACT car. Bought it brand new in 2007. Wasn’t a bad car honestly. Drove well and you can’t fault a manual/v6 combo, but couldn’t handle his abuse in the 67k miles he put on it. Wheel bearings, rear calipers and windshield were replaced at least once. Totaled it after 5 years. Still talks about that…

2nd Gear: I’m really happy to see Raj get a promotion. I really like that guy and what he’s done with Ford.

Ford Fiesta ST

I really hope this movie is as good as its trailer.....

Beautiful car and an even more beautiful story.

This retired couple that use to babysit my brother and I growing up had one of these in a two-tone gray/silver. I loved that car so much. It had the best backseat of any car I’ve ridden in. Of course, someone broke into it and cut up those leather seats when I was 8 years old and I never wanted to get back into it…

First-gen Smart ForTwo. Got carsick driving one in stop and go traffic for 15 minutes. Garbage automated manual transmission.
