POP. UP. HEAD. LIGHTS.

Don’t particularly care on what, just bring em back. 

I am going to call them Hobbit Crabs until someone convinces me otherwise. 

With all the twi’leks running around, we don’t think that first clone wars flashback was Ryloth? I couldn’t place the scene but it looked really familiar. I think that whole battle starts with Ahsoka and her team retreating and suffering pretty significant casualties. Was still early, like in the first 20 episodes of…

How many feet long and wide is the cargo floor when the back seats are folded?  

Problem is, they reduced those two guys, with those stacked resumes, to Generic Muscle Bros for the show.

The current iteration of Car Fix, because they took a show with two dudes who actually did good car work, fired ‘em, and replaced ‘em with a pair of generic muscle bros who hoot and holler and don’t do actual cool car work.

People can get bent, these cars are beautiful.

in ‘94 Ford went crazy:

So uhh...   Am I a terrible human for thinking this was a funny way to close the article?

This Mazda MX5 that I rent every time my wife and I fly down to Florida. Turo is the only way to roll!!

‘87 626 DX Automatic.   93 rippin’ horsepower wheezing through the three-speed auto.  Handled and steered well, was a blast to actually bomb the back roads with.   Could be at 8/10's and no one around us knew any different because we were still only going 45mph. 

Such a treasure of a human. One of those you feel lucky to have shared time on the planet with.

Call it the Probe and we’ll have come full circle. 

I know the question posed was about reliability in general, but the IMS hoopla all over the web has been enough of a distraction to make me forgo looking at Boxsters at all, and just decide that my wife needs a Miata for her roadster instead. And me? I’m a guy who has never shied away from a car that’s “expensive to…

My wife’s X3 is this way, clearly some kind of BMW mind-fuckery. We’ve had the car 3 years and I still cringe each time I see it.

Not to play “Internet Editor” or anything (while recognizing I’m doing exactly that), but if the fun new tech is the capacitor system, make that the headline!

No, it’s far more capable than that. In my wife’s X3, it’s got a happy little graphic on the dashboard that brags to you every time it engages the alternator.   If your car is a once-a-month pleasure ride, then you might want a tender, but you can commute and take it on a trip and leave it at the airport all you want. 

BMW has done similar, where the alternator is clutched and engages only during coasting or braking. They first showed it off at the Paris auto show in 2006. 

If you don’t already have a favorite Racing Driver, you could do a lot worse than starting with this guy. 

Good thinking.
