I am in one now. 2013 Transit Connect. 239k miles. Runs perfect, uses zero oil. I’m taking it all over this summer but will take my title with me.

I live in Michigan which is the frequent destination of old unloved US made cars. I see Aztec’s every day here and many are in very good shape. I think they flow in from the rest of the world because nobody else will buy them. HHR’s I see often but lately I have been seeing Cruz hatchbacks. They barely started making…

 Never mind all that. This proves that the world is flat.

If only he had Musk’s talent for people giving him money. Well few do. Listen Henry, making cars is a stupid way to try and make money. It takes mountains of money up front and years for any to poop out the back end, maybe.

It’s stupid. Unlike the 145rwhp motorcycle I rode for 12 years. Sure now you can get 200hp but they have traction control.

GM spent like $6bn making the plug in hybrid Volt and then lost a couple of billion selling them at a loss. Mindful owners could go months without putting gas in it. Of course only 4.5% of the population understand what a plug in hybrid is. I suppose you could fault the automakers for failing to educate people but it…

What a surprise. The family of influence peddlers doesn’t blame Tesla at all. If Musk had come out and shot her they wouldn’t blame Musk either.

I avoid airport security entirely. I don’t fly and neither should you.

If my name was Barbie I’d consider it. In any case it isn’t going to get you much cred anywhere in the real world.

He’s no different than several thousand other haver’s or opinion. That is they blabb and blabb, and blabb and blabb the same stuff over and over and added all up it makes no sense. But it does make, in this case Dave Ramsey some coin and fame, which is the whole point. People love it. They love being fans of the…

I’d take it over a Dauphine or Fuego.

Of course GM is having a hard time making something a bit different. As if the last 50 years doesn’t scream, of course. It’s a damn shame it couldn’t have been split up during the bankruptcy but sunk cost thinking, potential supply chain chaos and lack of leadership nixed that. I hate Musk as much as the next guy but…

Your mind might never understand it but your body knows it. It’s best to practice. Find a nice unoccupied highway with dashed center stripe. Get up to a comfortable speed limit where you can easily weave between the stripes. Initiating every direction change with a push on the bar that’s on the side of your intended…

Range will be about 17 miles and the smoke should clear the first mile by the time you run out of gas.

They are going to have to print a lot more money to get people to Mars.  For what purpose I have no clue.

President Putin has just offered 10 divisions of the Red Army to help Texas defend against the illegitimate US Government.

Just as I love all worlds people, except those from Ohio and Norway, I love all cars, except Subaru’s. Go figure.

The lady was a publicity hound and by golly she got it. 

I had a Conquest TSI and also drove a fork truck with the same engine. Besides having a truck engine I’m sure a Studebaker transmission would have been better. It looked nice, in an odd way and probably would have been a fun handling sports car with 50 or 100 more HP.

Leaving aside the great part the IROC RT had a variable vane turbo but I think it had a problem so they ditched it. My memory, not reliable, has it the put the engine with that turbo in a Spirit. A what you say? Surely one of the great oddball cars. Car #2 Spirit RT.
