Tactical decision making - kill the Altima before it kills you. STRIKE FIRST!

Welp, now I won’t be able to help myself from proclaiming “Yaaaay! I’ve been promoted!” every time I parallel park. But that would be amazing if you could get RuPaul for an interview. Please promise you’ll try, Logan!

Forgotten memory unlocked. I wanted one of those Trek Jettas so bad. I now remember VW also had a K2 edition that came with a pair of skis and roof rack that I was equally enamored by.

Well, for the low low price of $25,000, Lamborghini will sell you this bluetooth speaker made by some company called iXoost.

She’s lovely!

This is just a third row for Yeti coolers, long rifle cases, and all the other “precious” cargo that people want to haul around and show off but don’t want to get dirty.

Yeah, The Terror really is a great book and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending it to anyone with an interest in horror or historical fiction. That said, I 100% agree that Dan Simmons can go screw, and from what I’ve read of his other works, they aren’t worth analyzing or attempting to decouple from their author’s shitty…

Northern Indiana is among the worst places to drive through. It’s some real “The day after the bombs fell” type shit. Don’t stop for anything other than an emergency. There’s nothing worth seeing unless you have a hard-on for superfund sites. And fuck everything about I-65. It’s as straight, flat and boring as…

Mazda’s really had the whole styling game nailed from day one. Has it ever made a bad-looking car?

I’ll admit that Volvo’s reputation for reliability got taken down a few pegs in the early 2000s under new ownership and FoMoCo parts-binning, but if we’re being honest the Germans weren’t winning any reliability contests around that time either. These 850s and their stablemates were pretty rock solid since there…

That sucks and all, but Toxic Rocket Drop sounds like a really sick skate trick.

I’m not saying what this person(s) did was right, but part of me definitely understands and appreciates their moxie.

As a Cancer with 2 Volvos who has long thirsted for a V90 but always talks themselves out of it, because they don’t really need one and struggles with doing nice things for themselves (RE: emotional baggage), I feel very seen.

Haha, that is correct. $6k is just the price to bring it home. Even as Volvo enthusiast, I never really caught the bug for the P2 S60 or V60 Rs. Unless you’re dead set on a manual, a P3 S60 T5 is just a tune away from putting out similar numbers without nearly as many headaches or early teething problems.

Non-scientific hypothesis, but the personalities attracted to these kind of trucks are also more likely to antagonize cyclists, thereby increasing the risks for an accident to occur.

It needs a little TLC, but I’ll vote NP since its credit card money. Rare to see one in this price range that hasn’t been modded, which you don’t want due to the thin cylinder walls in this generation of the T5 and their tendency to crack when the boost gets turned up. I’d still get it checked out first.

Even though I aspire to something better than a Mirage from years of hard work and education, I am not above one. I just wouldn’t buy one brand new. This is an interesting thought exercise. Both me and my wife work fully remote, so the 2 vehicles we have now are rarely used for anything other than trips and errands.…

I still see plenty of the last Epsilon platform 9-3s, at least enough that they don’t stand out. The final 9-5s on the other hand are rare enough to get my attention. Granted, most of the Epsilon 9-3s I still see running about seem to be owned and driven by people who view them as disposable, or just wanted a…

Eventually, but I think these all have a long life ahead of them as BHPH zombie cars. Until then, continue sheltering in place.

Saab. You still see a decent amount of final generation 9-3s, but limited parts availability for anything that can’t be sourced from the GM family pool will likely kill off any remaining survivors.
