The panel gaps are huge, but at least they remained huge during the crash.

“Understanding failure modes helps ECR engines get a competitive advantage by optimizing components for the best balance between engine durability and performance.”

I own a detailing business and have seen a lot of nasty interiors. But this one takes the cake. 2003ish Toyota Corolla, 230,00o miles: Absolutely filthy, the lady wasn’t concerned about the stains, only the bugs that were everywhere. The door pockets were filled with gum as well. We made it look a lot better, but it…

He may be the “last true racer” but he’s also the guy who bounces off the wall more than anyone else, and is the king of not closing the deal.

Or they could just look where they are driving. Why does there need to be a sign?

Hmm, notice how it’s mostly all Honda and Toyota drivers? They always seem the be the ones paying the least amount of attention.

Hmmm, it makes you wonder if the Fusions built at the Flat Rock, MI plant are leaving with Heroin in the trunk.

Talk about making generalizations. Personally, I’ve had 8 Ford’s last well past 200,000 miles, about the same as the Toyota’s we’ve owned, and they have all been about the same as far as mechanical repairs.

E40 only makes shit that bangs!

I love Pat’s acres. Such a fun place to rent karts and tear it up. They are nice and quick, and the laps are timed. I can only imagine how fun it would be to drift it.

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up!

Seems legit to me!

If the list included vehicles that are out of production, I guarantee it would be the Ford Crown Victoria and the Ford E-Series. My friends dad owns a shuttle service and they run most of their vans to a million miles.

My Expedition is currently at 188,000 and runs great. I also have an F150 with 225,000 and 2 mustangs over 200,000 as well. None have needed engines or transmissions.

Plastidip. It was a pain in the ass when i did my first set of wheels myself, and even a bigger pain in the ass when I paid a shop to “professionally” do it, the car was never the same.

Unfortunately this type of thing happens all the time with automated washes. I do detailing and minor paint and body repair and I have several car washes that call me whenever something happens..sometimes the damage is even more than I can fix, and requires a full body shop repair.

This thing would be great at a park or somewhere a pickup is needed, and would be ideal if it was quiet.

Looks like a modern day car from Fast and Furious. Pretty damn embarrassing.

Funny that you mention a Mini. We bought one that was supposed to be a quick clean up and flip, a 2011 Mini Cooper Clubman S. Had it for $400 miles, and all of a sudden the check engine light came on and it start misfiring like crazy. Have changed plus and coils, and now the misfiring is dancing around. We are trying…

Great article Tom. As a 27 year old, I see a lot of my friends in vehicles that they can’t afford, but are okay with paying 400-500 a month to drive. I personally drive older vehicles, but I’m able to have a pickup, suv, a street/strip car and a drift car and own them outright, and still have money left over for…
