It just takes one awkwardly shaped human to accidentally turn the car...on? Wait, how does changing a car to "run" cause it to crash?

The XJR would be an awesome bike. I secretly (or maybe not so secretly) desire the ZXR1200 my friend owns, and the style on this is so similar. Are we finally getting it in the States?

You sound exactly like my work friend about his (no joke, unfortunately) V6 Camaro.

But I imagine a pro goalie would stone you virtually every time. Those guys know all of your tells. They're not gonna be tricked by the whole "I'm looking right but kicking left!" trick (which totally works on eight-year-olds, FYI). You've got a shit poker face, and they can exploit that fact.

The International CXT was a glaring omission from this list. It was essentially THE factory bro truck.

I wanted to nominate this! We asked a rep at the Chicago Auto Show when it came out, and it is actually too tall for a fifth wheel trailer. You'd have to get the MXT if you wanted to actually tow something.

A few years back a friend and I, high on our first LeMons outing, bought a pair of Simcas (look them up!) from middle of nowhere, Wisconsin and towed them back to Chicago area. Getting them on and off trailers was a similar experience, but they were light enough to just push down the ramp and then stop in my garage

Now playing

Ironically enough, this was just sent to me by a friend. Setting new 'Ring time records.

I've had about 70% success with Rockauto. However, that gets him much much closer to a running car, so go for it!

Any word on what the cost is to be the coolest soccer dad on the planet?

Hail Hydra!

I had completely forgotten I had taken a picture of this until today. Additional consideration:

I learned on a friend's MkIV Jetta. It was a great car to learn on. Fantastic shifter, easy clutch...I had one moment at an uphill stopsign. I erred on the side of wheelspin, but I didn't hit the car behind me.

The third one was in Pittsburgh. That was not Soldier Field, or rather, the flying saucer that landed inside what used to be Soldier Field.

I was excited when I first saw those plans. We wanted to do that years ago after the Delphi plant came down. But the comment about the EPA is right, it's an absolute environmental nightmare.

Obligatory.

...I guess that would be the ideal time to swing by. Thanks!

How often are you at CJ Wilson Mazda in Countryside, and when should I take my Miata in for service and an autograph?

I'm pretty sure this is the best response an engineer can ever make. Thank you for summing up our thought process perfectly.

Actually, all the airline did was forward the relevant information to the FBI. Airlines have no physical power to arrest people.
