Neutral: I took my son to a Ford sponsored performance and road hazzard training locally. They taught teens how to handle a skid, steer out of a spin, deal with road obstacles, etc. Not the same as what you’re doing, but you’ll learn some of the same moves. Recently, at 24, he had a blowout on the freeway and his car

You’re all wrong. This man is in management. It’s time to demonstrate his status with this 1980 Rolls Royce Ghost for $25k. Located in Utah.

It’s to make you think of a cornucopia. All the wealth and gluttony pouring out the ends so you know that owner is like, “I’m so oppulent I don’t care.” The oppulent Dodge Dart. 

Maybe you need to work on your root cause analysis before writing a headline. It’s not an electrical issue. It’s a water intrusion issue. Why did the water get in? Was it due to the squirrel’s nest? Maybe, but if this is common, that’s probably not it for everyone, could be for you though. Is it a recurring problem

I consider it a speeding tax. If you go over the limit most of the time, there comes a time for you to pay for the privilege. Once every 3-5 years is acceptable. I see the lights and just say, “Time to pay taxes.”

I disagree. I sat in the Arteon and it’s nice, but it doesn’t have the right headroom in the back, unlike the Passat. Assuming that because the Arteon doesn’t sell is a correlation to our dislike for Sedans ignores the data gaps. It just means we don’t like THAT sedan. If automakers continue to make sedans with

Another one that got me was the use of the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 and FJ62's in “Sharknado”. A classy, well researched show like that should have caught the problem. They kept swapping between vehicles. At one point I think they were even in a Jeep Wagoneer based on the interior. (It’s been a while, I don’t

Seriously?
I spent a couple days with the bike last month riding in the desert, and it’s a kickass bike with some super cool tech and competitive features for a competitive price.”
It’s a really good bike...”

You missed the elephant in the room. “I was up with David Tracy until 5 AM wrenching on his Jeep....” The strength of your Lexus and the weakness of the Jeep is demonstrated in this comment. You might be a little wide in the trees, but you took a basically stock Luxury SUV through all this. You pointed out it’s

I own a 2013 SEL with the dual clutch auto-manual. I love it! However, It has a salvage title, has been rebuilt by VW to correct damage and to fix the Dieselgate scandal issues, and I picked it up for $4,800 with 72,000 miles a year ago. I feel like even if it was a clean title I would feel good about that purchase up

Liar.


While the 1990's Honda Civic isn’t a dead ringer, the height of the greenhouse was certainly an inspiration. I would say this is a mashup of the “best of the best” craptastic wagons of the era. The Celebrity is a great ringer for the details. But, if you wanted sturdy and reliable, you weren’t looking at a Chevy

Yeah, that’s what I do now. But once I started the spreadsheet it’s been kind of cool to keep it going. It’s kind of a journal of sorts. 

$136,950. That’s purchase prices. My resale total was $48,321. I did give some away to families in need or to charities. Estimated fuel costs are $122,058.

OK, I’ll take the bait. Every time I purchase a car I’m tempted to get something newer. My Brother-In-Law even said it was stupid to buy less expensive cars when you can buy one with less than 30k miles on it and save money because it requires less maintenance. So, I built a spreadsheet to test the theory. It’s held

I have one of those! “Our car history”. In 35 years of car ownership I have owned 26 cars. There are currently 4 in my driveway and a parts car in the garage. I tracked purchase price, sale/salvage price, repairs beyond normal maintenance for the mileage, miles driven, MPG, average price of fuel during ownership, purpo

Based on his history, he should be getting a Fiero, a Firebird, a Blazer, a Pontiac Phoenix, an Aston Martin Vulcan, a Fuego, a Sunfire...weird that most of these are Pontiac. Gotta stick with the theme, though!

Consider a small pickup with a shell. Easy to toss the bike in the back. I bought a 2003 Ford Ranger Extended Cab for around $3500 with a rebuilt engine. It’s a flex fuel vehicle and gets around 26MPG per tank. I like driving a truck, so I think it’s comfortable. You could get 2WD for less. The older Ranger’s and

Worked at a Chevy dealership for a few months. If you allowed a customer to leave without talking to a floor manager you would get docked “spiff” money. If you did it 3X, you would be penalized sales opportunities. If you did it more than that you’d be fired. This lead to salesmen standing in front of people and

I just want to know when the Bronco club can start “ducking” each other, and with what? Jeep already has the rubber ducks market cornered. What will the Broncos use?
