I’m pretty sure he was the foreman who drove the grey Silverado and threatened on an hourly basis to fire everyone with a pulse that stood within ten miles of him. The guy was/probably still is a relentless douche. He and Boyd were the ones who drove Charlie (who may have been the only all-around good worker in the…

I’m an engineer who daily drives a 38-year-old Volvo with 285,000 miles on the clock and a few rust holes in the spare tire well. My racecar is a Focus. As much sense as your post may make to the rest of the world, it is utterly lost on me. If I ran an interview and saw the candidate roll up in a Mercedes or BMW, I’d…

To the rest of the world, it means one of the most dependable, enjoyable small cars ever built. To Clarkson, (what’s a Jalop discussion without TG references?) it means the BEST small car ever built.

I bet a set of WinterContacts would have made this a hoot. Maybe next time?

So we can’t expect to see you in any sort of Impreza, then?

I can’t stand this “not spending that for a Focus” horseshit when people have been dolling out $30K+ without a second thought for Lancers and Imprezas for close to 15 years. “It’s just a Focus” only works if you have experienced the living Hell that is…

Greyscale’s Complete Buying Guide to a 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser:

Pull your head out of your ass. Or simply donate $73,000 to charity and drop $5k on a real Land Cruiser. Stir in another $5K for some good tires, some lights, and fuel to get you to a bunch of ORV Parks. Enjoy.

Yeah, they’re ruthless, vengeful pieces of crap.

And I’m saying that the spare tire should not have to be dealt with at all in a true work truck. It should be a like a child in the 50s: “seen and not heard”.

Yeah, but then you’d have to be “that guy who completely and utterly ruined the perfect driver’s car”.

Don’t be that guy. Nobody wants to be that guy.

For three months.

G Series debuted here in the US when? Ohhhhhh, that’s right. 2002.

Murano debuted when? Ahhhhh, also 2002 (as a 2003).

Wouldn’t that completely defeat the “space-saving” purpose of putting the spare inside the bed floor?

I mean, they could just put it under the truck like any other manufacturer so you can get to it no matter what you are doing. This feature underlines the purpose of the vehicle pretty succinctly.

Thus defeating the purpose of putting the spare under the bed.

Why be nice to Lincoln when you can spend so much time blowing Lexus executives?

Interesting point brought up by a co-worker... Say you have a bed full of dirt. You know, BECAUSE TRUCK BEDS ARE MADE TO CARRY STUFF. You’re driving along, minding your own business, rear of the truck swaying uncontrollably because it can’t handle a bedfull of dirt, and you blow out a tire. What do you do?

Oh, wait, I…

Hold on, hold on.


People care about this thing? A truck so car-like they couldn’t even bring themselves to build it without a trunk.

Apparently because they wanted it to look like the ugliest car this side of a contemporary Lexus.

It must have sincerely sucked to be the guy who had to find news that anyone gave half a shit about in the Hyundai booth. “In other news, Hyundai continues to offer cheap rip-offs of cars other automakers are working hard to keep on the cutting edge.”

The Coyotes really aren’t bad to work on, save for the almost complete lack of space. The engine bay is pretty accessible, though; it’s at least easy to figure out. I say a blown Mustang is ALWAYS a good decision, regardless of the car’s platform. I’m thinking my first Mustang will be a four-eyed Fox notchback with…

My last comment asked for excitement. I almost feel like this article was a direct reply to it.

I’ve been lamenting the passing of the S40 marquis in North America since 2011; both generations of the car’s first run were terrific. If Volvo continue in the trajectory they’re currently following, this should be a…
