Strangely enough, it was a VW Jetta sportwagen.
At the time, we’d been having problems. I needed/wanted a new car, and I was deep in the grips of some serious undiagnosed anxiety. One of the things about anxiety is that it often makes one a control freak- the more things you can control, the less you have to worry…

In the mid-’90s, I moved just outside of Seattle and bought a 1970 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT for $500 cash in hand. I loved that truck. The first night I had it, I drove up to a scenic spot in the Olympic Mountains and slept in the bed under the stars. The engine was in great shape, a 300 straight 6 with mostly original…
Dating is a war zone. Nowadays, it feels like people are actively trying to disqualify each other rather than trying to come together.
A 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sport. My girlfriend (now wife) complained about it in the summer it was too hot so I installed A/C. She complains on the highway to this day because it’s too loud and uncomfortable. She complains she doesn’t like borrowing it when the nanny has to take our car for the day with the kids because…
Every relationship I’ve been in I’ve made it perfectly clear. If you ever go on about my hobby, don’t go straight to the ultimatum. You won’t make it past “It’s either the car or-” before I leave you standing there in the tire smoke with two black stripes on the road as I leave you.
I once had a date with someone I figured was going to be less than pleasant to hang out with, but I said I’d go so I went to pick her up as planned. In my red NC Miata.
I couldnt keep her in.
It can’t be put into words. We know what we like, but can’t explain why. Like only dating certain types of women. Manuals are just more fun because reasons.
Add to this that not everybody can add a charger. I live in a neighborhood full of houses built between 1900 and 1950. All of the houses only have 100 Amp service connections and upgrading them to 200Amp so that they can support an EV charger would mean rewiring the whole house. Most of them have either knob and tube…
Driveclub looks better to me over Forza Horizon 3, but by a tiny bit.

Hence why epic space battles are inevitable!
“Right now, the billionaire does not have permission to send a single robotic probe to Mars, much less thousands of Earth citizens.”
Anytime you’re copying Subaru’s styling, it’s going to be ugly. This looks like some designer traced all of the WRX’s styling elements to the new Civic, then spent the rest of the day watching porn on his phone in the bathroom.
I hope I’m not in the minority when I say this:
That thing will turbo lag into the next fucking century.
Obligatory:
Most of the time I see these trucks they’re sitting in rush hour traffic with an accountant in a suit/tie driving it to work....
Did you know Lucas electrics run on smoke? It’s true, I know because if the smoke escapes, it stops working. That’s why you always need to keep a spare jar handy...
Good job on the Transmission. When I went to my MOS-Q to certify as a Mechanic in the Army, when it got to the transmission, the instructor flat out said, “This is a Transmission. Inside of it, is all of the evil and hate that man has ever devised. No one really knows how they work. No one knows how to fix them. In…
