In high school days of yore, having a friend with a van was the real shit. I feel sad for the kids of today who don’t have that kind of access to hand-me-down family vans. We had a blast as teens in our friend’s old Chevy G20 conversion van that was handed down from his parents. It was basically a living room on…

Bloc-sy but good!

Party pooper response: Figure out what your new living expenses are going to be, then figure out how much car you can afford.

I am giving this a very cautious NP. On one hand, it is a very nice GT for not a lot of cash. However, that ABC system in early 2000s Mercs is known to crap out around 80 - 100k miles, and the bill to repair/replace can easily run up to several thousand dollars. I don’t know how feasible it is to replace those with a…

No mustard here. This is like getting a pastrami on rye and discovering it was topped with ranch dressing. ND.

I got a little removable neoprene cover to go over mine, but still forget sometimes and have to be reminded the hard way.

That’s pretty much the crux of it. And manufacturers and rider associations lobbying against helmet laws because “freedom” is equally stupid. And many of your anti-helmet folks are the same types who loudly oppose any type of social assistance programs, but will gladly pass the buck for things like healthcare and…

This is make/model agnostic, but a true summertime classic. Aluminum inlays on the top of shift knobs. Although a common bugbear in many cars, the one in my C30 gets ridiculously toasty after a few hours in the sun unless I remember to use a sunshade.

It isn’t for me, but it’s a running convertible for pocket change that could be cleaned up reasonably well. I think this would only be worth it somewhere that has decent enough weather for dropping the top most of the year. This also buys you a ticket to: complain about the price of milk at the grocery, grunt…

I will speculate this was a storm created by 2 or more assholes. As a Louisvillian, I can testify that our cops are 100% assholes. I also know that many of the pro golfers who come here act like King Shit and also behave like assholes. I wouldn’t test a 9 iron against a 9mm though.

Cue the “but, but a few bad apples” arguments. Here’s the thing - a few bad apples do spoil the whole bunch. And an apple farmer who cares about the value of their product and its perception in the marketplace will take steps to fix it by imposing methods to remove those bad apples. ACAB until they demonstrate…

Haha, you must be talking about the traffic circle on 62 near Charlestown. Man, that thing has been there for like 15 years but I guess people still can’t figure it out. It’s not even that bad as far as roundabouts go.

I was born in this area, left for New York, then transplanted to the west coast for many years before coming back to Louisville. I remember as a kid, everyone joked on Indiana drivers for being so slow (I’ll mostly attribute to that to learned behavior, because Indiana State Police do NOT mess around) but my last…

Hey neighbor! We really are the worst. Half of our population drives like they own the road, while the other half drives in fear. The results are reflected in our insurance rates. I couldn’t take having to cross our bridges everyday. I will do everything in my power to avoid traveling to Indiana because it just ruins…

Neck-tat truck guy is from Indiana. Your assessment isn’t entirely wrong, but don’t put him on us!

They were disabled/stopped from a previous collision. Branham dipped into that tiny gap between them in an attempt to overtake and gain maybe 1 second of time, then swung wide into the oncoming lane. Witnesses reported him driving recklessly and nearly causing other collisions before approaching the accident scene as…

Louisville resident here. They need to make an example of this guy. He was weaving in and out of traffic and driving like an asshole on a bridge that just barely supports 2 lanes of traffic in both directions. This has become standard behavior for people who don’t want to pay for the toll bridge and can’t manage their…

Hey Volvo. Big fan, but can we talk about buttons? If you could just give us at least 25% of this, I’d love you more.

Fiat 124 Spider might fit into that $15k sweet spot. I know, it plays second fiddle to the Miata but sometimes different is good, right?

I stand corrected. Its shift logic is even more confusing, then.
