I hope you’re right. And I hope there’s a vibrant mod community to help eek out another pony from that engine without having to go to extremes.

I hate to say CP because it looks like a lot of work went into making this thing, and the results look amazing, but my inner skeptic is telling me that this guy could only be selling because there’s some issue he’s not willing to live with and can’t figure out how to fix. 

1st Gear: My current car note holder was kind enough to offer up to 3 months of waived payment requirements, but in the fine-print they stipulated that interest would still accumulate on the balance. This is shady as shit in my opinion because the obvious wording came across as if they were planning to freeze my…

There would be some worse aspects to a Clinton presidency, sure, but I strongly doubt that the virus response would be one of them. I’m guessing my 401k might be even worse off since she wouldn’t have been falsely inflating the economy prior to this happening, but maybe not.

I know that as a car enthusiast writer, it’s against your nature to bring it in to the dealer to have the fix done, but for your wife’s sanity’s sake and to protect the value of the car (even if you don’t plan to sell it, your insurance company is already looking for ways to short you on its value should the need to…

I particularly despise the current move towards more and more aggressively raked rear hatches. It screams “Form over Function” and wastes space, not to mention makes it more likely that adult rear passengers will rub their hair, or even their actual head on the headliner. We’re not all teenagers who have tiny friends…

All that, plus these are notorious for shitting their turbos (and timing belts iirc) right around this mileage marker. Without detailed maintenance logs showing the engine was properly maintained, I’d avoid this thing because there’s almost certainly a couple ticking time bombs just waiting to go off under that hood.

This was back when America was Great; don’t you get that!?!

The hero we need needs to strangle it in its crib before it’s released upon us and there’s nothing we can do about it!

This is the right take. I don’t know what everyone else is blabbering on about, but if some over-bloated Insecurity Wagon is struggling to achieve 60MPH in front of me while I’m trying to avoid being run over by all the other over-bloated Insecurity Wagons that have had the room to lumber up to a speed beyond the…

...with no evidence of leak damage from those T-tops.

Which is less than what an average car would cost them. It could also be spread across the people according to their income/wealth, as well. Honestly, that sounds like a bargain to me considering the benefit it will provide the entire city.

Thank you for putting this into perspective. I have a hard time dealing with people who regurgitate that “X ultra-rich person donated millions to a cause” and that’s why they are propping them up as a philanthropist. 

1. Buy a fully loaded 4cyl auto

Yes. And they charge quite a bit for the crap they serve.

Fender, not finder

It’s the passenger side finder that’s misaligned, you can tell it was replaced because the color is off, the pinstripe is gone, and the molding doesn’t line up right.

I get why he wanted the 4WD in this project, but he was never going to achieve 24mpg with it and he should have known that.

Town Fair Tires will store your winter tires for you if you buy them from them. Obviously that only applies if you have a Town Fair in your vicinity, but I’m also sure they’re not the only ones to offer this service to their customers. Look for tire retailers in your area that do.
