I work at a company that makes windshield washer fluid (WWF) and spent the first 8 years of my career in the lab. The freeze point listed on WWF is the temperature that it turns into a brick in the bottle. WWF contains 3 ingredients, water (duh), surfactant (like a soap), and an anti-freeze which is typically…

Dodge has maximum frontal area limitations in towing section of their owners manuals as well

You are right about not being in a hurry. But going 55-60 on interstates makes me feel like I am going to get rear ended, that’s 20-30 mph less than most of the open road traffic moving past.

I’m not bothered that other folks will get there sooner. I sometimes feel like one of the most subversive things you can do in America is to not be in a hurry. That said, I really hate trying to merge uphill with highway traffic while towing. That, and the behavior of other drivers on narrow roads. Some folks would…

I know I know - but man it sucks to be in the right lane going 60 - when everyone else is getting to the camp site going 80 with their huge ass campers.

The difference between Europe and USA when it comes to trailers is trailer weight distribution. In Europe trailers tend to be 50/50 or 55/45 balanced which means there is almost zero weight on the hitch. You are also limited to 55mph top speed as a preventative measure against death wobble. You also tend to think 100…

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.

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.
