NP for the right person. These are not nearly as affordable as they used to be, and finding one in this condition isn’t an opportunity that comes along very often. Get rid of the feeler antenna, replace the wheels, and this is both a work of art and a testament to some incredibly interesting engineering. These must…

This should be the answer to “What is your state’s most amazing license plate?” Not a Texan, but this is made for me and I want it badly.

Ashamed to say we have one too. Honestly the only plate that makes me want to go completely carmageddon and ram into someone.

Winner. That suuuucks.

We have a few, but the dumbest is probably this one. I can’t even figure out what it’s supposed to mean. Environmental sustainability through overpriced back rubs? I genuinely don’t know.

I’ve been wondering why these concept teasers had me so hot and bothered, and I’m shocked to have just figured it out...

Elder millennial here (are we still doing xennial? I can’t keep up). Even growing up in the Midwest, nobody in my age group really seemed to care about “classic” muscle cars of the 60's and 70's. Sure, sometimes you’d see a classic Mustang or Corvette and say “Oh, cool, check out that [whatever]” but it was rarely…

If the wand model is anyone’s choice, I would recommend doing your frothing in a separate vessel since they can damage the inside of your coffee mugs and wear away the enamel/glazing, unless you have a steady hand and are super careful.

While the Model T and other early frontrunners are more important within a historical context, I think Elvis Presley and his pink Cadillac are more interesting from a cultural perspective. His love of Cadillacs, and cars in general, was often a central theme of his music and can be partly credited with making cars and…

Yeah, our household has a Volvo S60 and C30. Shortly after purchase, we bought a donut for the S60 because it won’t hold a full-size spare in the underwell and the donut is better than nothing. The trunk in the S60 is too small to keep a full-sized spare topside, but still I prefer having the donut option instead of…

As a big Mazda fan, I have previously been very close to pulling the trigger on one of these. Problems aside, the MS6 really deserved a mulligan though, and I wish we got another one before they sunsetted the 6 entirely.

Probably a good thing that fewer new cars come equipped with space-saver donuts these days. I’ve even seen people running more than one, like where are you getting multiples and what is happening in your life?

I have no regrets about that whatsoever. However, during one of my multiple trips to the VW dealer for a warranty repair, I was out walking the lot while they were getting my car ready and noticed a Phaeton hidden among the sea of pre-owned vehicles. I didn’t really know anything about them at the time and had never…

Kind of hard to do when the driver has their eyes glued to the left and is only concerned about oncoming vehicles, with no consideration for anything that exists to the right.

There was a time that I might have argued against this, but now, not so much. I don’t know what all of the contributing factors are, i.e., drivers having too many distractions, everyone feeling their time is the most valuable, insufficient driver training and re-testing, but it has become truly terrible out there.…

A 2004 Volkswagen Passat GLX 4-Motion that I purchased in 2006 as a 2-year lease return with only 20k miles. I’ve posted about it before and won’t rehash the extensive list of problems, but it would be difficult for me to imagine anything being worse at providing even semi-reliable transportation. Just a short list of…

That orange 242 is gorgeous! I’ve been wanting to brighten up the interior in my black sapphire C30 for a couple of years because the black and quartz grey combo on the inside is a little drab, and now I’m having some very questionable (and very orange) ideas.

And they’re always willing to share. Perhaps one of them politely offered her some Vengelerstarssebar.

Not once have I ever encountered a rowdy German tourist on US soil or anywhere else. Removed from soccer games or beer festivals, my impression has always been they are generally very polite and well-behaved. I know we don’t have a full picture of what transpired beforehand, but given this woman’s mistargeted rage and…

I’m sorry - I couldn’t help but snort-laugh at how matter-of-factly you phrased this. That said, I’m glad it didn’t change your life for the worse and you got to find yourself while traveling. Similarly, I was in a significant rock climbing accident in my early 20's that resulted in a TBI and I wound up dropping out…
