Nope, kill it with fire!

My first instinct is to suggest this, because clearly the Miata is the best choice and you don’t deserve nice things if you don’t want one.

Your fine with welding your frame with (by your own admittance) limited welding skills and a harbor freight welder, but you won’t reuse U-bolts??? That is where you draw the line? David, you are favorite author on this site, but I sincerely hope you don’t die or kill someone else in this madness. I would support you…

I regret that I have but one star to give.

“The Wall Street Journal reported last year that a 2015 penetration of Pho’s computer led to Russian intelligence obtaining information on how the NSA itself infiltrates foreign computer networks and protects itself from cyberattacks.

Do Not Use Kaspersky! Seriously, this is the worst advice I have ever seen on Lifehacker. There only three reasons you would recommend Kaspersky. You work for Kaspersky, your knowledge of security has not been updated in the last few years, or you have no idea what you are talking about. Good grief. Also, based on…

I like it, there are many good reasons to vote CP, but I couldn’t do it this time. NP from me. I would 10 times rather have this then yet another SS Chevelle clone that seem to constantly sell at auction for double this. 

I know assholes who claim to be happy, I am not sure I can think of any assholes that I actually believe are happy.

Great tips, but they should be obvious to people (but aren’t). Other things I find helpful are to not always be taking in negative media or conversations. There are a lot of bad things in the world, and it seems much of the news and social media focus entirely on that. There is good too and we need to spend more time…

A winter beater that also makes you happy to drive? Yes, please! NP.

I thought New York was a blue state? Especially NYC. They generally love additional taxes and fees on people. I wonder why they are opposed to this one? Hard to say, I guess. /sarcasm

Please do volunteer, but be aware of the toll it can take on you emotionally. My twins spent 4 weeks in the NICU when they were born (they are fine now), but the emotional toll a NICU can take on you is real. The sad fact is that some of the babies in the NICU won’t make it. I remember coming and seeing other parents…

I am happy these cars exist. I have never been a big Mopar fan, but the fact that car company looked all of the current “rules” about how they should make cars and basically extended their middle finger and said we are going to do it just because we can, makes me happy. While Ford is eliminating all cars from it’s…

Love the car, hate the price - CP

I’m with you on the cheap first car. 1980 Chevy Monza 2+2 was the first car I owned. It was completely terrible in every way, but I loved it so much. I bought it for $300 from a neighbor because it needed work and spent several weekends and another couple hundred bucks getting it running and driving, but I couldn’t…

(looks around to make sure we are not on Jezebel) That’s what we called them when I was in high school. It never failed, some snooty, rich girl would get a new car for her 16th birthday and it would be one of these. I don’t think I could ever get past that association in my mind, no matter how good it is.

Carmax gets a lot of crap on here, but my best experience was purchasing a car from the location Knoxville. There was no pressure and I test drove several cars before I found the one I purchased. The sales person was patient, answered / researched a ton of questions I had, and the price was fair. This was not an…

Please, Please, Please, David get an experienced welder to come inspect your welds! I completely support bad ideas, as long as they are not likely to kill you, but bad welds on a frame can kill you or someone else on the road if they give way.

If you want one, there it is. I fail to see the appeal of the malaise era cars. The only people who want these are people who hate themselves or people who have never been forced to drive them. They just suck (I was forced to drive my parents Ford Fairmont).

Overbuying is a huge issue. People need to stop buying cars they can’t afford. Some of the comments on this thread really tick me off. “Buy what you love” what about “the joy of driving”, etc. There are a lot of people that make 40K per year and are dropping 40K plus on a new car, and that is legendarily stupid. I am…
