The Aztek. Not only did I proudly own one that I sought eagerly to do so, I loved driving it right up to the point where it “GM’”d the transmission at 62K miles from defects known and discussed in a TSB. I had the transmission rebuilt and the rebuild made it twice that distance, but anyways.

this looks like another take on  the Jeep Wagoneer idea where you design a huge vehicle for the sake of enclosing a lot of space on the road. 

I can tell you why short term rentals are displacing long term residents, and it’s because you can make a lot more money from short term than long term, and there’s no eviction hassles involved as there is no tenants rights involved.

A running and driving Vette for $6K would be a NP, but this one isn’t really drivable, with the overheating and other problems. I guess if you are close enoughj so it doesn’t blow its top before you get it home it’s OK, but overheating can be anything from a bad thermostat to cracked heads or blocks. A real pig in the…

It was nice of Nissan to hire the stylist from AMC, the guy who brought us the Pacer, the Ambassador, the Matador, the Gremlin, all the great styling classics we know and love, wise as Odin and according to rumor having the same eye count.

I’d think that the government probably installed that camera based on some suspicion about whether or not the subject was truly disabled, it’s the equivalent of a stakeout. For a stakeout you don’t need a warrant, but the subject of a stakeout is under no obligation to assist in the observation.

It’s been established for decades that if you don’t take action to maintain privacy, the authorities are free to collect “search” without a warrant. The Alaska State Troopers used to fly over neighborhoods with a thermal camera looking for hot spots from possible marijuana growing operations, and the courts said that…

or trade in after 2 years on the 3 year lease

Can we name this Darwin’s corner? I’m watching this and some of the drivers don’t even seem to try to turn. 

200K is the new 100K. Miles mean that this car wasn’t a garage queen, it was driven a lot, enjoyed a lot, and up to the task. Price maybe a little high but give nthe condition I can NP this one. 

Worse than the Joneses-the parents. Parents who grew up when cars were good for 3 years and 50K miles on 3K oil changes. Oblivious to 50 years of vehicle longevity improvements

even the older 4.0/4.6 V8's developed over the years from the Buick aluminium V8 were terrible. The 4.6 was stretched beyond the limit of reason and the later ones were built on worn out tooling as LR knew they were getting a newer motor.

probably more than one. A friend of our rolled 3 negative equity leases into one Subaru, which she then rolled into a lease on a new one as soon as Subaru would let her. On a boring ass Subie. 

Yeah there were a few stories that began with some MTF and went from there. OK, quite a few. Too much volume inside for an effective hotbox though.

Now this is going to be against the popular flow like a salmon past the bear in a waterfall, but hear me out.

737. It was about the same age as I am. But more comfortable for the passengers when it finally got ready to go.

I recall seeing photos of these when they came out but hadn’t seen one in person until the Battle of the Brits a couple years ago. All I can say is that these cars are massive. The proportions say a much smaller vehicle but I don’t know if I could squeeze this into my garage through the doors, as they are only 7…

The Ford era JLR products are pretty good . Ford design and Tata built, still decent, but not too sure about Tata build and design. Pre Ford, well, leave those for the ummm, enthusiasts. 

We rented a Touran on our last trip to the UK. What a miserable hair shirt that thing is. I guess if you need to haul 7 people around in shared misery that’s the vehicle to do it in.
