“Suspension works!”

Parking. Where I live, downtown is all but vacant because nobody can afford to park. Metered street parking makes well over minimum wage and when I needed monthly parking near my office, it cost about 2/3 what I pay for rent.

March and April of 2020 were glorious.

The entire insurance industry. Ok, so here’s this thing you’re legally forced to have. The idea is that if you crash into someone, this company can ease the pain of the parties involved. The company can pay for the broken cars, medical payments, property damage, and so on. Great, right?

1. Seeing rust on your beloved daily for the first time is like seeing gray on your dog’s face, you come to the realization no matter what their time is limited.

Paying insurance on multiple vehicles when I can only drive one at a time.

When I see these questions and it is an 80s or 90s Japanese car I look for the shot showing the shifter. While some with a manual are ND, let’s just say that EVERY one with an auto is an “auto” ND. With manuals many of these cars can be fun but autos from that era are just a drag. They would be fine transportation for…

Soooooo close to being a NP, but no. It’s a super example of a car most of us have forgotten, but I just don’t think it’d be a fun car to own and drive without a stick shift.

No Volvo saffron is actually criminal.

You forgot 850 T5 R in Pleasant Muted Yellow;

This list is invalid without Mazda’s Soul Red Mica (and it’s follow-ups). There is no better colour on a mass-produced car today.

Let’s hope Cruz gets voted out in the next election cycle. Then even if this legislation passes with his amendment, he won’t benefit from it.

Don’t forget Al Franken’s oft-repeated “I like Ted Cruz more than most people like Ted Cruz, and I hate Ted Cruz.”

“Reliable” and then, I have had to replace an engine mount and water pump on a sub 100k miles car. Yeaaaaah, about that. 

There’s good reason they are cheaper. They are less useful, a bit silly, and less reliable (lots of BMW club friends with them). Not that I don’t theoretically like MINIs, but I have never wanted one enough to actually buy one, whereas I did buy a ‘17 GTI Sport new.

The Autopian

Considering how vague the Ford Mustang is nowadays about looking like a Mustang should:

Back in the late 70s/early 80s a lot of vehicle would start to knock on regular as they got up in miles. Frequently using midgrade would stop the knocking.

Good for them, I guess.
