Except for the shifter action, which is akin to jabbing a screwdriver around in a bucket of rocks. Luckily Cobb makes a shifter that tightens it up nicely.
No no no no no. The Flex is the right one. AWD, twin turbo V6, nutbag chillers in the seats, auto parking, etc. etc. etc. Traded in the wife's Element on one a year ago, don't regret it in the slightest. Got a very well cared for 1 year old lease return for about a Focus less than a new one. Sprung for an…
This doesn't surprise me, because these cities all have narrow streets, and awful congestion, and tons of cars. Whereas if you look at the best cities, you'll notice that it's all a bunch of rural areas with no traffic: Fort Collins, Colorado. Brownsville, Texas. Boise, Idaho. I mean, come on.

This Z/28 shaves 300 pounds from the big daddy, 580 horsepower ZL1. The hood covers up the LS7 V8, a 427 cubic inch, 505 horsepower, 481 horsepower engine that comes right out of the C6 Corvette Z06. The only transmission option is the Tremec TR6060, a six speed manual. It has aero updates to provide real downforce on…
John Froelich, the inventor of the first internal-combustion traction motor, or tractor, is born on this day in Girard, Iowa.
You just told me to buy as many Range Rovers as I can afford! I'm ruined!
Doug, your flip flopping is killing me! What do I buy?! HOW MANY!?!
Car Talk got me through many road trips from Colorado to Idaho and back. I got pretty good at diagnosing (or at least mimicking their diagnosis) based on the symptoms. Truthfully it definitely helped me learn more about cars and get a lot better at fixing mine. RIP Tom, you'll be missed.
