This was just before Dad traded his 1987 Pontiac Safari 6000 wagon towards a 1992 Ford Taurus. It had more than 187,000 on the clock! He bought it brand new and it took us on many a trip to Lake Ontario during the summer. Towards the end, it was rusting so bad, dad took pices of sheet metal and bolted them over the…
I’d be interested to know as well re: snow & ice. This is likely to be my replacement for my current SUV. That or the Buick TourX.
Edd was the main reason I watched this programme. Especially in the early series. Back when they had a shoestring budget, he truly worked his magic. The transformation of that tired little Austin mini is a perfect example. They should quite honestly go back to those roots. Most of the time, I skipped by Mike since…
Having lived in the greater Cleveland area for two years, I can say that not only are Ohioans completely nuts but they also have (mostly) no regard for the rules of the road. My daily commute took me in and out of the metro area. This involved taking I-90 (or in NYS, the Thruway). Numerous cars ignored the posted…
The Nissan Cube. Utterly boring & uninspired POS...

Best North Korean news release I’ve ever read/watched ;)
My Dad (God rest him) had an’87 Pontiac 6000 wagon. Bought it brand new and took it more than 187,000 miles before it just fell apart in 2000! At one point, to cover up some rust, he bolted stainless steel panels to the doors (you can kind of see them in this screenshot). Greatest Generation ingenuity!
The crabby old ladies remind me of my Mom’s neighbor who makes it her business to know everyone elses’ business and then call all her friends (on a rotary phone no less) and tell them about it. As said, CRABBY.
Sounds like this metal virus was concocted by Professor Kettlewell in the 1975 Dr. Who series “Robot.” I’m heading out as well...
Cadillac’s been back since they unveiled the Sixteen in 2003.
Jezza knows this all too well:
Wegmans reference FTW.

It was this, the end...?
This screenshot explains it all, the end:
