Oh, FFS, Brad. You say capitalist like it’s a bad thing. Would you rather be writing about the Trabant, and only the Trabant, because it’s the only fucking car being manufactured?

Feb-arch-ril?

200k miles on a “standard” vehicle may not be that unusual, but on a high performance model, with outputs cranked up closer to max, probably shortens the lifespan a bit.  Not to mention, if he can't replace a gas cap, has the oil been changed once in 124k miles?

Dude can’t even RockAuto a gas cap to his house to clear a CEL? How much could the gascap cost to give a little piece of mind, and clear the dash?

Meh, long haul trucking really shouldn't exist.  Not when rail can (theoretically) move goods much more efficiently.  Get rigs off the roads and improve rail infrastructure.  Maybe our roads would last a little while longer if rigs weren't pounding the shit out of them.

Nationalize it? Nope, hard pass from me, bro. Let the shitty ones fail, and let the better ones swallow their market share.  Some jobs may be lost, but I think to would likely be more of a reshuffling rather than widespread losses.

I couldn't tell you if that was a real Acura name, or someone just dropped their Scrabble letters.  I can't actually name an Acura that's been built in the last 15 years other than the new NSX.  It's all alphabet soup.

Well, that makes sense. The Falcon lights I was thinking of had 1 more spoke than I was remembering.

I've seen those tail lights before, Falcon?

Just got a notification that the Rush tribute show I was supposed to see with them this summer was postponed (indefinitely).

Don’t feed the trolls, you’ll only encourage them.

Man, don’t hate this site, just hate the handful of Anti-Cap writers that it employs, like Brownell and Shilling.

That’s kind of how business works. Only a shitty business would pay more for a part that met spec.

Can’t say I know much about the original Bugatti auto trans, but I do know that a few other marques have tried them out over the years, they never seem to stick around for long, though.

Fuck, dude, is there anything Ford could do that you wouldn't crucify him for?

That’s why I drive past and back in to spots. There’s a lot less time that elapses between the drive by and reverse than getting in the car, buckling up, connecting your phone, starting the car, etc...

I dislike the dial. There’s no tactile indication whether you are in D, R, or P.  I've had my kids distract me when parking, and I've had to look at the stupid thing to see what gear I'm in, rather than just touch it to see the position. 

I had a vehicle with the back up can integrated into the rearview mirror.  I really prefer this to it being in the dash.

Shit, I didn’t even know Datsun was un-dead.
