He needs like, a 1988 Cadillac retrofitted with everything he’s asking for. No plastic bumpers? No unbuckled belt warning? Boxy styling? Analog controls? Comfortable for 5? Good visibility? Check, check, check....

Pull column shifter toward steering wheel and go up - 3 on the tree FTW?

Not surprising... even in Live Free Or Die New Hampshire, there’s a law about how many unregistered vehicles you can have on your property. Of course, if they’re not visible - like if you have a large property - then no one will ever know. But a friend who lived in town had a few too many cars so he would continually…

Yeah this is another uinverse of money that I don’t live in. I mean, with 20 million I could have a very, very nice life and so could the next several generations of my family actually many generations. Or, I could have one car that I could never drive.

I have a neighbor (not immediate neighbor, but close by) with several junk cars in his back yard. He’s got piles of junk all over the place. He has a 90's chevy plow truck that runs, but, inexplicably, he does not use it to plow snow. Just in case, though, he’s got 3 extra plow blades in the front yard, too. He has a…

Wow, this is the post I first read on Jalopnik and it got me hooked. Weird to see it pop up today... I hope it can be preserved for future readers, somewhere...

I had this discussion recently with someone, as my parents have a 4kw system on their barn. Now they produce about 30kwh on a good day. But you would have to be home with the car to charge it. OR your car’s roof would need to be the size of my parents’ barn roof.

I talked my father out of buying my 200k mile E46 wagon when I sold it a few years back. He was in the market for that exact kind of thing and couldn’t quite grasp why I didn’t want to transfer a very well used BMW to a family member. He lives close by, too. Nope nope nope.

Of course this is there. Ready to blind anyone within 1/2 mile. Texas.

I’ve now had two E46 325's and don’t worry I’m not here to tell you you’re wrong. I’m always amused when people come on the BMW forum “Hey guyz I just bot a new BEEMER with only 185k i think it wuz a gud deel but like how can i just add a lil power?” And the forum regulars jump in and say “For the love of God and all…

300c.i. Ford inline 6 swap FTW

Good luck! We’ll miss you here, but this gives me a reason to visit those pages more often, too.

My parents have a 4kw system on their barn (the barn is the size of a typical 3-bay garage). It’s not even the whole roof, and their house has no panels at all. This is already more than they use for their house by 100% - mind you, they are light users. But they are generating around 30kwh on a mostly sunny day and…

This is why I have no desire to own any showroom-condition classic. I love my 1961 Ford truck just like it is. There are brushstroke paint repairs all over the place. Scratches and a few dents, yup. But I need to get some bark mulch for my house, and I am going to proudly drive it to the local garden center and have…

“What’s that funny lettering and logo on your Jeep?”

That sounds familiar, now that you mention it. I’ve been hit by some sheets of crust off the tops of other vehicles. It makes an awful, terrifying sound on the windshield. I don’t imagine it sounds a lot different when the windshield breaks. My wife commutes about 30 miles on the highway each way, every day; this is a…

It turns out that a clever and economical way to save weight in a Ford could involve adding tequila.

The best thing I saw this winter was a car pulled over by the police after a snowstorm. The car had been pulled over for a while, I could tell. How? Piles of snow, all around the car on the side of the road. I didn’t see the car before, but I could picture it, just like the one above. THANK YOU, bored New Hampshire…

I’m not sure how to read that invoice, but if you add the numbers in the Dealer Invoice column it’s over $43,000 which is quite close to $45,000. Is there an additional discount there that’s hidden? Genuinely curious, not being a dick, seriously. I have never ordered or purchased a new car, never financed one, barely…

Important questions... the answers to which were clearly detailed in the arcticle.
