I personally like to click on a thing exactly one time so you won’t see slideshows from me unless I get yelled at for not doing it.

Look how great this worked without damned slideshow.

Seriously, no more of that crap.

Even more important than police reform — ELECTIONS. Want to still have a democracy in 5 years?

Neat idea, but it sounds like an absolute hatchet job of a project.  No matter how good the engine build is, there’s too many red flags to trust this project.

Rogue* not Rouge

I just wish appropriately aimed headlights were a thing.

Did you read the article or just skip it to post that?

I wanted to buy a specific new Fiesta ST that was listed on the dealership’s website. The sales guy REALLY wanted to sell me an eight year old Focus ST. Why? Who knows. Someone must have leaned on him hard to get rid of it.

“Turns out, the finance company won’t approve you if you don’t buy the extended warranty.” Oh yea? The extended warranty company that isn’t affiliated with the finance company in any way but happens to give you a sweet commission for every policy you sell?

Useless Trivia of the day - 1967 was the only year for a factory Grand Prix convertible.

I do belive it:

Thank you. That is exactly what this website used to be about. The cult of cars. Older vehicles, interesting vehicles, wrenching, car culture. And where I write ‘car”, you can also think ‘truck’.

Maybe. But my experience here in Texas, is that most don’t. People buy trucks, just because. I know some that actually use them for off-roading, sometimes. But not a high percentage are being used for work.  

I do not want to get used to driving a large, ponderous vehicle. Ever. I am a driving enthusiast first. If I want to drive a tall ponderous vehicle, I will hitch a ride in my friend’s big rig.

No they’re not. They’re bigger for no reason, have seating because people have decided to use them for people haulers instead of stuff haulers, and we live in a society today where every family has at least two cars anyway. Unless you live in a city, in which case you don’t need a pickup truck at all.

My entire neighbourhood might disagree with you. An urban cowboy every 3rd or 4th house, where the truck sees a random orbital more often than it sees any dirt.

I like trucks but if I really need to use one I’ll just Google the nearest U-Haul and save me the running cost of having a large truck.

You kind of can have best of both worlds. Especially popular in EU.
Get a trailer. You still get your fun daily, and in rare cases when you need to haul stuff, just attach the trailer and off you go. It is misconception in USofA that you need a truck to tow.
