I can’t tell from the video, but extra points of that van has a manual transmission (sorry if this has already been pointed out).

Sometimes lazy designing by a manufacturer results in some pretty cool stuff when an enterprising consumer gets a hold of it. Behold the El Cutlass (not trademarked by me). BTW, this is not mine, but I wish it was.

4th gen Acura TL SH-AWD (2009-2014). My wife daily drives one. It’s like a quieter grown-up WRX. I’m only 5'10" so I can’t speak for how well a tall person fits, but it looks like there would be enough room especially if the power seat bottom was lowered. The big problem is that there were hardly any built so good…

Id have to add a decent BT stereo and speakers, too. Detachable face, of course so I could just leave it unlocked.🙂

I’m very happy to see you learning even about the most basic maintenance. It reminds me of when I taught my son how to do these things. It also has given me the idea to show my 14 y.o. daughter the basics now as she’s going to have to learn to drive a stick before she even learns the rules of the road (we don’t own a…

This is all great advice. I made a sign to add to my son’s “permit driver” placard that read: “learning to drive a manual transmission. Thanks for your patience.” It seemed to work out pretty good. I had it laminated and ran a couple of short lengths of paracord through the top of it with small ametal nut tied to the…

This is the best place to store a spare for ease of use. It’s also the worst if you have to haul anything that requires the glass hatch to be open because the space between the top of the opening and the top of the spare is very small. With the hard top off or soft top folded back, it’s only slightly larger because…

I could definitely see someone wrapping their 2022 Civic in this just based on this photo.

I’m going to give the “guy in his late 40s” opinion here. While I was in my twenties when the beloved Hondas and Acuras mentioned were new and bought a 93 Integra GS-R off the showroom floor in that wonderful now defunct shade of teal green (the actual name escapes me right now), I can tell you that, yes, Honda has…

Totally agree with you, too. I think in the case of my home, my wife and daughter place cups, bowls, ramekins, etc. in a position that when the water hits them, they topple over on their sides. This is especially true of washable water bottles. I always end up checking it before I start it anyway.

This right here. I’ve driven ambulances and while difficult due to their size and, in the case of private ambulance services, crappy pay, they don’t compare to driving a fire truck. Not only do I have to deal with traffic, aggressive and inattentive drivers, and weather events that keep most drivers at home, but I’m…

I’m a big fan of the Cocaine Cowboys documentary franchise. I’m on episode two of this series and it’s just as good as the others I’ve watched.

Minneapolis has already defunded their police like some people wanted. When you defund them, they have fewer officers to enforce laws and it becomes a triage situation. This is exactly what all the “defund the police” advocates got.

Same here in Missouri. I believe there’s a 90 day time limit (you have to sell whatever car you’re replacing with the newer, presumably more expensive, vehicle and can claim the difference no more than 90 days after taking possession of the new one).

I give you Ford Securicode. The best invention ever that no other manufacturer has replicated. You can lock and unlock doors, program multiple codes, etc.

You’re not going to to be very undercover with a bodycam sitting on your chest, so that’s out. You might be able to get away with an audio recorder, but that’s about it.

The deceased was riding shotgun in a stolen car which already shows poor decision making on his part. The fact that he pulled a gat on a police officer (pointing it at him or not) is not surprising given his decision-making paradigm that day. It’s terrible that he had to die because of that decision, but what else woul…

I’m from and continue to live in St. Louis near I-55 raceway (dirt track), Worldwide Technology Raceway in Madison, IL, and the almost finished Ozarks Int’l Raceway. 

So the Sahara is not a more capable Sport. It is a more luxurious Sport with optional leather, standard hardtop, PWs & PLs, paint-matched fenders, larger 18 in. alloy wheels, and some other fancy stuff. It has more street-oriented tires, standard fenders (not the highline Rubicon ones), but none of the off-road…

People don’t buy Jeeps for their stellar MPGs.
