Braking in a turn is precisely the reason many people lose control. Most drivers simply are never taught to understand the mechanics of grip and the fact that there is a finite amount of it. If you are using up some of that grip to slow the car down, then that grip is no longer available to help the car turn. Add to…

Four-liters are exceptionally reliable, especially ones built between ‘91 and ‘97. On the later models, you tend to hear more about piston skirt problems, but even those are known to go 250,000 without rebuilds.

Obviously, your mileage will vary, but by and large, if you just put oil and a new filter into the thing…

Pretty clear cut, the injury was preventable, if they had done a proper risk assessment of the extender then it wouldn’t happen.

Half their problem is running those BFG A/Ts.

I’ll concede that GM has built cheap interiors, and that material quality can prompt people to make unfounded assumptions about a car’s build quality, but their cars are pretty reliable and extremely durable. Way cheaper to own and maintain than anything German.

GM owns Opel, so Opel=GM.

Nope, not true at all.

If you can’t eat a burrito in the car without making a mess I don’t want to be on a road trip with you.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say it’s been a pleasure working with you and hosting all of your insane ideas over the years. We wish you nothing but the best and good luck with the new venture. Also, God bless you for taking that PT Cruiser off the road.

I’ve commented many times on Jez about how the anti-vaxx movement deeply offends me as the mom of an autistic child. The last time I commented I got a response basically saying: “if you got to choose, you wouldn’t choose for your kid to have autism”. I thought about it a lot and I really think I would. My son has an…
