So last week you were all like:

I have two stories, not the best but beats the “no track days” theme.

2008-current Chrysler family minivans. One of the few times when the previous gen vehicle was better in all ways imaginable than the new one.

I have 8 and 4 year old boys. I have them get a small bag and they can select some toys to take for the ride.

It's almost like the VAG engineers selected timing chains that were all too long for the little job they need to do, but not long enough to be a continuous chain. Why? To provide job protection for the Audi service centers? Was this designed by their union reps instead of power train engineering?

You must really get your knickers in a tear when you drive a loaded Toyota or Hyundai with every option on the version of the vehicle sold in America, yet it still has switch blanks.

The 2007 Caravan was probably the best one they've ever made. Tons of them are still on the road today. The 2008 redesign really lowered the bar.

We've had two Dodge Grand Caravans as my wife's car since the 2008 boxy redesign. We're gluttons for punishment. #1 was a rental that we had for a little while, traded it for #2, a 60k mile one owner van with every option. We were tempted by cheap transportation with dual DVDs.

I'm going with the Vega. GM was conquering the world in the 60s, and this was the first car to begin the (near) death spiral.

Wow I had no idea there was a sedan version.

True, but plot quality on a scale of 1 to 10, Toyota will be around 9, and anything by Chrysler will be around a 3. The 4Runner will last until 200-250k, and the Chryslers will make it to 120-150 and then feel like they need to be scrapped.

I agree with this sentiment. I had just sold my much loved Mazda 3, and was in the market for a larger vehicle, manual trans, wagon, and AWD. Forester should fit the bill.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a diesel mall cruiser wearing a flat bill Monster (or Fox) hat sideways. Seems like a stupid idea to buy a full size truck when you live in NYC anyway.

Thank you for pulling another memory out of my brain that I didn't know was there. I SO had one of those tracks. I <3 Stompers about 30 years ago.

Kinda reminds me of Bike Week in Myrtle Beach. Fairly easy to ignore the d-bags, but by sheer numbers there's going to be a higher ratio of d-bags to regular bikers.

When I was single, and riding with my female friends, it would entertain me to no end to reach over and blow the horn when driving by a random jogger. I'm weird I guess, but it would make my day to get to do that.

That's looks to be a C5, so yes it's a separate stalk.

My guess: in his flailing (and failing) to control the spin, he smacks the wiper stalk. Even more newbishness to add to his stupidity.

Its amazing that the two relatively tiny contact patches can hold back eight similarly sized contact patches long enough to allow the smoke to roll.
