The new Taurus always looks to me like it got scaled up one size too big. Like that Majorette Puegot that got mixed in with my Hot Wheels when I was a kid, still fit in all my sets but was just big enough to bug me.

Haven’t had anyone try to smoke in my cars in a long time, but had one friend that used to chew and would leave an empty mountain dew bottle full of brown spit in my cupholder. That was actually an improvement from him spitting out the window and thus all over the side of the car.

My 83 Dodge Rampage was advertised at 42mpg hwy.

Looks like it. Pretty much the universal engine swap

All the money from my vehicle purchases usually goes into the pocket of whichever fine citizen from craigslist I bought my car from. I assume the money is then used for drugs, probably from Central America somewhere, so I can still sleep at night knowing my hard earned money stayed in America

But what if that Chevy executive spends his profit sharing on Japanese appliances or on a vacation in Europe, then where is your money going...

We had a local dealer that had helped sponsor one of our Mopar car clubs shows. At one of our meetings the owner told us he'd take care of club members with employee pricing. When my wife was looking for a car we did a lot of searching and found 2 cars within 500 miles that met her criteria (manual trans was the…

The fun part will be finding a tow truck that fits on a bike path to recover it.

That's similar to my usage of a truck, typically an open trailer (2,000lbs) and a car (2,000-3,500lbs) and another 400-500lb of gear in the bed. My old 1/2 ton got the job done but didn't give a lot of confidence in the brake dept. Now I'm running a 3/4 ton truck that is overkill for much of what I do, but well…

Speedway Auto Salvage in Erie Colorado. The yard is run by an old greaser and if you ask nice enough he'll let you have a look around. Inside the yard is nothing but 1970's and older cars, nothing ever gets crushed, so it's like stepping back in time. I enjoy walking through this place much more than any car show or…

The polar opposite of debadging your vehicle.

There are a number of walk behind mowers with 30-36 inch decks that will get the job done quickly. You'll probably have to venture beyond the big box stores to find them however.

I am waiting for a picture of the Range Rover parked on top of a PT Cruiser because the sensors failed.

I imagine when the salary = IOU the best marketing folks aren't applying.

Not much depth to the tests, just a lot of subjective comments. Really there isn't a bad car on the list, most comes down to price and personal preference.

I learned that ripping out all the A/C stuff when I built the car 15 years ago was a dumb idea. 25 year old me didn't mind sweating a little, but 40 year old me wants to be comfortable on a road trip.

My dog would love to chew on on those seats.

These Jeep concepts are great! I would love to see them make the next Wrangler a more modular vehicle, something they could offer as a base unit that can be converted to one of these on a Saturday afternoon with a few basic tools. Make it a rolling lego kit for grown ups.

We used it also when ordering my Wife's Dart in 2012/2013. No dealer had what we wanted but at least we were able to use the tool to find similar cars before ultimately ordering ours. Ours took 4-weeks to arrive once ordered. When we ordered the same car again (first one was totalled) 5 months later we had it in…
