Those that do have the option should do it though. And a lot of people who only think they don’t have the option should strongly examine the statement too. I’ve seen too many people who could work from home decide that their presence is the thing which keeps the office running and come in despite the weather to…

I really liked my Tacoma. Unfortunately it’s also the only vehicle where I’ve driven somewhere and had my back completely lock up at the other end and not be able to get out of the thing. 

Honda - The Cog

You are only young once. You owe it to yourself to get a tiny light weight vehicle. If possible find something that is under a ton.

Don't gatekeep. This is also advice for the current generation. I see a lot of people who think there's only one correct way to be an enthusiast, and that just chases people away. This is especially true now that the EV era is beginning - don't dismiss fans of EVs, don't act like their enthusiasm isn't as valid as…

Isn’t the escape built on the focus platform? Basically the same thing.

Anal Fiesta ST just sounds like a rip roarin good time

I started with a ‘97 delSol in 1999. Divorce and forced sale caused a big gap, then ‘06 S2000 in 2012. Next was a ‘00 NSX in 2017. I auctioned the NSX a few months ago on BringATrailer and replaced it with an LC500 convertible.

That “Anal” trick also works for most sports teams:

You can do the same thing with model names of motor homes and travel trailers. It’s a fun game to play when you’re on a road trip. You know, who doesn’t love an Anal Intruder, Hideout, Chateau, etc. 

“Anal Ranger” will be my new fantasy football team name until further notice*

*there will be no further notice

At least that much UV radiation would kill most pathogens.

but the Trail 125 and Cub are both CVT and they’re still super fun

“There’s not a single thing here that you don’t get with a RAV4 at half the price.”

Replace the stereo. It’s easy to do and not terribly expensive. You’ll get better sound quality to cover up the noise of the droning engine, and if you spring for something higher-end it’s really wonderful to hop into your car, connect to Apple Carplay or Android Auto, and have access to everything you enjoy on your…

They also referred to it as “the new small Chrysler”. Note they don’t say it’s a small *car*, just relatively small for a Chrysler. It was a pivot from their policy for the Chrysler brand that they’d been advertising as “no jr editions” since 1961;

Why? Each luxury version of the Japanese automakers is normally an identical vehicle with more luxury. Accord-TLX, 350Z-G35, Maxima-Q50. The old 90s Integra being much more visually different than the Civic made it the exception, not the norm.

Show the court on the teddy bear where Jalopnik hurt you.

I felt attacked from all sides — the bullying tractor-trailers on the highway, the flatness, the cold, the constant anxiety about where it would be safe to piss.
