Woah, the most interesting bit of this article is DAT WIPER!

I can’t imagine these things are going to be worth half their retail price in 5 years. Ford doesn’t help any with resale value when the pump out 20 variants of the Mustang. No one has a fucking clue what the difference is between the models. There should be no more than 5 Mustang badges — TOPS!

The problem is that they are adding these screens to conventional dash designs where redundant HVAC controls take up one-third of the real estate and redundant radio controls take up the other 2/3s. They need to scale the physical buttons and knobs down and give the screen prime real estate. Does the fan control

This is one of those cars that seem so attractive when I sitting at the computer or reading a magazine. But then when I see it in person, it feels like a car made for someone else. I don’t get that primal “MUST HAVE” pang that I get from a GTR or even a Stingray for that matter. Having said that, the car enthusiast

They didn’t realize something was up when the tank would only take 3 gallons?

I found a really nice pair of long needle nose pliers in the engine bay of my sister’s Protege5. Love those things.

Or smell it via the HVAC?

A tooth? I’d start looking carefully for front end damage! How else does a tooth end up in the dash?

If I ever get lazy, I think about the off-duty cop that harassed me for 20 miles after I squirted him with wiper fluid for tailgating me. I haven’t missed a trip without my cam setup since that day.

There’s a phone app that does all this very nicely and includes a map window to show where you are travelling. It will start recording automatically when your phone connects to your car’s bluetoof. AutoGuard

I think a change in pace notes is in order...

How about raising holy hell in order to be put in the solo group and then not staying even close to the racing line. Throw in some “too late to pass before the turn” point bys and cover the car with about 10 go pro cameras for good measure. During the breaks, walk around the pits and check everyone’s lug torque and

You can add, Make Sure You Have a Data Plan For Your Phone. I had to take my Mother-In-Law to the clinic for a yeast infection while we were in Italy. Let’s just say her attempt to speak Italian did not go over well with the nurses — “Urinario Tracto Infectiono.” I was kicking myself for not having bought a SIM car

There’s about twelve 11MM bolts that hold a WRX timing belt cover. Eight of them came off no problem, the lower 4 were so rusted that when I put the socket on the bolt and turned, all I got was a waterfall of rust. It took me longer to remove those bolts than it did to change the timing belt.

If you have Ford Sync...

I saw one of these in fully Stanced Asshattery at the Home Depot the other day. I knew I should have snapped a pic.

Ken Block still holds the title for the most dramatic shakedown crash.

The real crime here is that he bothered to spend his time and money “fully restoring” a 740! A 740? Come on.

Obviously, he was concerned that a horde of poor people were going to come raid the clothing dumpster while he was in the gym and give his car the AIDS.

A free car for the hairdresser that did THIS? Fuck.
