I know they have their fans, but I’ve always found the Chrysler 300, especially the first gen models, to be supremely unattractive. Everything about them looked so cartoonishly overwrought...and cheap. It wants to imitate a baby Bentley but pulls that off as well as counterfeited Gucci sunglasses or Louis Vuitton bags…

ND out of principle, regardless of what the market says. I know $10k isn’t a ton of money, but I can’t justify that to myself for a 30-year old, 2wd, single-cab truck that is basically a commemorative plastic beer cup from a race that nobody even remembers.

You could fill a shitty 1.5 mile tunnel in Las Vegas with everything that Musk has failed to “make good” on. Most likely, he will instead choose to drag this woman and her business on his also-shitty social platform for expecting a “handout” or any type of charity from him, or insinuate she is a lousy business owner…

Everyone has probably heard some variation of the unknown scientist, who in the mid-20th century, invented a magic carburetor which allowed vehicles to get 100+ MPG but was either silenced or murdered through some shadowy plot carried out by the big oil and automotive companies.

Earning $70k a year is not that far above the average American salary of ~$60k. That figure does not easily make you a member of the New Jag Club (especially 2 of them!) without some serious compromises, or somehow being lucky enough to have absurdly minimal living expenses. She is lucky to be making good money for…

Absolutely. And no sequel could ever match the impact of Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out for the NES. For anyone who wasn’t alive at the time, or just too young, it would be nearly impossible to explain the cultural juggernaut that was Mike Tyson. Almost overnight, kids in every schoolyard across the US were having…

Ahh...I clearly misunderstood how these worked then. Now that I’ve watched a couple of videos explaining how they function, I do recognize them as being pretty damn cool. I guess I thought they were just a minor improvement to the existing automatic on/off tech (for which I have hated every version I’ve experienced) or…

I know this is largely location dependent, urban vs. rural, etc. but the frequency at which I actually need to use my high beams is so low that I’d just as soon not bother with the complexity of adaptive lighting. Also, while I don’t have any science to back it up, I think the ever-constant flipping between light…

Man, kudos to you. Not only for acknowledging the danger, but for having the ingenuity and taking the extra steps to reach for something above “good enough”

Only 15? Those are rookie numbers. With vehicles getting bigger and bro-ier, I assumed people were trying to make a sport of it.

I know next to nothing about these and can only say two things: 1.) This is an absolutely gorgeous car. 2.) I would be so far out of my league at even half the price.

I already nominated the Sebring, but just remembered another that’s kind of an edge case. I wouldn’t call it outright bad, but it was a terrible value for an insane amount money that could have bought something much better: The Mitsubishi 3000GT Spyder:

I’ve only driven one and that was enough. As a senior in high school, my then-girlfriend’s dad bought one. He had me over for dinner and insisted I take it out for a spin with the top down, so me and GF went for a short drive. Yup - it was as rigid as wet spaghetti. After we got back, he literally interrogated me over…

The Murano Cross-Cabriolet is the clear winner—no contest—but I’ll throw in the Chrysler Sebring convertible. Popular when they came out, and the object of desire for every dad who wanted to feel like hot shit but wasn’t quite ready for a Corvette. The Sebring convertible was pleated Dockers, braided leather belts,…

For those patient enough to complete the mandatory and stupidly difficult training mission, this was an absolute banger for being released at the end of the PS1 lifecycle.

This game had so much to offer but started to wear a little thin about halfway in due to repetitive mission structure and not rising above simply ticking things off the world map. I still had a blast with it though, and the vehicle combat was top drawer. I really hope the upcoming Furiosa movie leads to another entry w…

LED headlight conversion kits that are advertised as “quick and easy” while still utilizing stock halogen assemblies and reflectors. They might look brighter initially, but your beam pattern just became as unfocused as a 35-year old data analyst with undiagnosed ADHD.

It is possible without too much fabrication and relatively plug and play with parts taken from a donor, but I think there is some ECU trickery involved, because you need to fool the C30 into thinking it is another P1 Volvo that was available with AWD as an option. Volvo considered making AWD available as on option on…

I’ve had a 2011 C30 since 2015 and considered myself one of the lucky ones too, until this past fall! I knew about the problem and was always good about running Simple Green and vinegar through my sunroof drains at least twice a year to clean out gunk and grime and making sure everything drained through the weep holes…

Right on. Leaky sunroof or windshield would be in my top 3 for things to check out first. I had the leaky sunroof issue with my own C30 this past fall, but fortunately mine gets parked on a small incline which caused water to flow to the rear and under the spare tire well instead of through the A pillars and into the…
