Anything with beef jerky. A friend of mine once returned from Peru with beef jerky in his backpack, and some Coca-tea, not realizing the powerful tea might not be approved for entry. The drug dog hit on his backpack. When the agent asked about it’s contents (again, innocently forgetting about the tea), he opened it up…

Capacity maxes out with a cooler of Corona. You’ll not get far with a load of rocks. Maybe styrofoam rocks. Ridgeline. Whatever. It’s a nice car with an open trunk. 

It is an engaging scene. It is even metaphorical. Raph’s public soliloquy and deep metaphor may be more of a result of the legalization of certain drugs than the subject of the picture would warrant without any kind of stimulant or hallucinogen. Just sayin’. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! Some of the…

I like that autopilot continued to serve after the crash by working to put out the fire it started by launching a wheel into the plumbing. These are very responsible cars. 1st law of robotics, right?

I think the Pontiac Parisienne had the best grille in the 60's and early 70's. A staple in Canada, the US was denied this car until it wasn’t beautiful anymore.

Convoy with Kris Kristofferson has been my dream police chase since I was 6 years-old.

Ideal vehicle in a police chase: 18 wheeler with a cattle guard on the front hauling hazardous materials. All other suggestions are wrong.

Yes, they’re ugly and limited in use, but maybe it’s time for people to admit they aren’t actually going to cram anybody in the back seat of their compact car. These make better use of a useless area behind the first row for a lot of cars. Rear seats = too small. Trunk area = too small. Replace that with a bed that’s…

Not being critical, but what was the real deciding factor behind not repairing the Toyota? The cost/benefit isn’t there. Even if you paid $6,000 for an engine replacement and transmission, that’s not $76,000. You disliked the Toyota $70,000 worth? Do you know what you can do with $70,000 outside of California? That’s…

“I’m here to tell you that this technology is still 10 years away, 5 at best! Why? Because nobody has been man enough to stand toe-to-toe with me on my best day!”

“The Montero looks so much like a Prado!”
FIFY

I would say that you have lost your passion because you’ve stopped working on vehicles that are truly interesting. Sure, a Postal Jeep is interesting, but one that is as rotten and terrible as the one you chose just really does belong in the junkyard. And it’s interesting to drive it across country, but it’s the kind…

Door handles: Some Overseas Fords had recessed door handles in that era...

It’s a blog, dude...Popular Science, Scientific American, and Popular Mechanics are just around the corner. Oh yeah...they don’t provide all the statistics and data in their articles either! It’s because that’s not what people are buying! The real stats show up in automotive enthusiast forums because engineers have…

Take your star. 

This is my favorite response!! #weaponizemycruiser #cruisermissile #doesntgoover70mph

The thing about a car like this: It’s about the build. This build was clearly fun, and they actually did some fun things I would totally rock! BUT, I would rather buy my own $500 car and add the $1,400 of accessories to make it my own instead of a redux. For $1,900 you really can’t do ANYTHING with this car except…

The right answer is a 1990's full size American Pickup. Get one with a shell and carpet kit and you can live out of it while you are here. V8 or V6 is fine, you’ll be able to do burn outs at will. Big tires, lift, 4 wheel drive. As American as it gets!

Where is shrimp lady’s right leg? If it’s stretched way out, why? Bad pose. Bad concept. Bad execution. Hmm. Sounds like the Mach E. 

Thank you, Justin! This practical approach to EV’s is refreshing. You didn’t shame me for owning an SUV, you didn’t tell me that my use-case is irrelevant, and you didn’t say this and banning plastic straws are the only responsible life choices we can make. It’s a reasonable second car and I would consider it as an…
