STOL. It's amazing some of the fields that this relatively large aircraft could fly from.

Recently I was trying to figure out what caused me to get colon cancer at a relatively young age and was not coming up with any viable theories to explain my predicament. But now I am relieved to finally have an answer thanks to that brilliant man of science and reason, our leader and savior, Donald J Trump. Thank…

Lived in LA from 1967 to 2012. Can confirm.

Yet another reason I'll probably keep my Mazda5 6MT forever, other than the fact that I really love this car. 

Don’t have any regrets, because you really didn’t miss anything. I tried a few SLKs with manual transmissions when they were new, and they were mediocre at best. That transmission never turned a Mercedes into a BMW or Porsche, or even a Vanagon for that matter - those all had transmissions that were more pleasant to…

Well, my ‘Save the Manuals’ sticker is on my Mazda5 since one would automatically assume that a Miata has one. But Mercedes and manual? I’ve driven several, and they’re bad enough to convert a manual die-hard like me into a lover of automatics. New or used, it doesn’t matter - Mercedes had never figured out how to…

And yet if you pull into the parking lot at my local GM plant you could park that Blazer up front, whereas if you drive up in an American-made VW, Honda or Subaru you are required to park in the back lot.

And the McLaren F1 uses taillights from a bus...

Or in massive quantities at the various dollar stores...

There was just an order placed for 10 A350s and 290 A320-series aircraft, announced just this week. These kinds of things don’t happen in a vacuum, so they've known about the need for some time.

So true. It’s amazing how many people wanted to race me when I drive a Porsche - Volvo, VWs, BMWS, etc. I never took them up on it (and never received a ticket in that car either), figuring that the outcome was already a foregone conclusion so why put my car and innocent bystanders at risk. I had nothing to prove and …

Yeah, but does it have dual 10 inch wheels?

Affirmative

I will second the nomination of the Windstar, or as we called mine, the Windscar. Base base BASE model (cast-iron 3.0, no a/c, no power widows, mirrors or locks, no rear defroster, etc.) Completely and totally uninspiring to drive, would run out of gas on a hill if you had less than a quarter tank, a frustrating…

Despite my username I feel no attraction to this or any other malaise era tank. Perhaps ‘signifying nothing’ is appropriate for my lack of interest.

Thanks for the kind words. So far I’m winning this battle - the tumor was removed (along with half of my colon and my appendix), no spread of the disease, lymph nodes clean, CEA level back in the ‘normal’ range. I still have polyps in the left colon so we’ll need to watch those, so that means lots of testing and…

As someone currently battling this disease (chemo starts Monday) I'm with you 100%. The moment this illness disappears will not be a moment too soon.

The last time I went looking for a brochure, for a 2019 Volt, the salesman informed me that they no longer print them but just have a link to a PDF. Not quite the same tactile sensation...

Way back when I wanted to buy a brand new Mazda GLC (remember those?), but then the GTI came out and I bought that instead. I grew up in a household dominated by German cars and that’s all I considered for years. After moving away from jobs that paid obscene amounts of money I decided that I wanted something simple…

After decades of German cars, I have recently discovered that I can have a fun-to-drive vehicle that has this heretofore unknown concept called ‘reliability’. Yeah, no, I don’t think I'm going back...
