HA! Been there done that with my posts.

Once, when I was drunk in my 20s, I wandered through a construction site and did this in a front-end loader. Luckily I was just sober enough to realize how terrible of an idea it would be to actually start the thing up.

right!? like cmon, gimme a 4 door sedan but cut the trunk off and gimme a bed just long enough that I can carry some stuff around in it. maybe set it up so you can put covers on it for long distance driving. tuners can have a bolt on points on the tail gate to have modular aero attachments/a wing. it’s low enough to…

Spot on, I use my old Mercedes C-class as a truck more often than most truck guys in my area. There’s a lot of room for lumber and tools when I fold the read seats down and a 7-8 ftChristmas tree fits in there too. 

Oh my god, that reminds me of the time I came home from work, couldn’t find the cat anywhere in the house, finally heard her barely meowing from behind the living room sofa. She wouldn’t come out, so I lifted up the end of the sofa, and she shot across the room, down the hall, and into the half bath, with something…

We always said “barely pull a piece of GREASY string out of a cat’s ass”, because if it’s dry string, it’s harder to pull out and would require more energy, and greasy string shouldn’t take much effort at all - so if the truck was severely underpowered, you’d need that string to be greasy! 🤣

99% of truck owners in the US would see the same utility from a car no bigger than a Subaru Baja. Somewhere out there, there’s an alternate universe where instead of truck culture being the dominant car culture in the US, it’s the ute. The ute can pander to both the truck guys AND the tuner guys. If you need a big boy…

The Santa Cruz is one of those vehicles I’d answer for a QOTD prompt about a car that you irrationally kind of like. Like, I can’t foresee a circumstance where I’d ever own one, but I also kind of like something about the way they look. I had similar feelings when the Kona debuted. Just funky enough in the right ways.…

It was the correct choice by Mazda. While everyone seems to retrospectively love the FD RX-7, few people actually bought them when new and Mazda did not make any serious money selling them. Its follow-up the RX-8, had Mazda drop the ball badly with the issues the Renesis engine had at its launch (which they pretty…

Seriously? Zoom actually seems like the most appropriate way to conduct these hearings. This isn’t an actual trial, this is basically an arraignment and you do your 5 minutes in front of a judge just to find out next steps. There is no reason to have to drive to a court house, walk through security, wait for an hour,…

There is no such deadline. 

Yep, here’s how it’s done.

Well, the plants in the US South that are fighting hard against unionization have been using child labor. So, first world ICE cars are not exactly immune from such claims either.

Can confirm, had a Mustang with a Glass Roof and a very phallic aluminum shift knob. It was like trying to hold the sun.

Nope. Not buying it. The confederate flag is a symbol of hate, and making it fun and appealing to kids as part of a TV show is disgusting. Especially when the Daughters of the Confederacy worked so hard to sell an alternate version of history where southerners were also anti-authoritarian, and their treason was just…

Belive it or not, you can appreciate cars while also disliking the fact that a car show laundered Lost Cause propaganda.

That’s a poor take right there..

Live in Louisville, work in Jeffersonville so I have to cross the river.  And with the Sherman Minton being partially closed, it’s a riot.  People do things here that I’d never see out east, especially with the eternal clogging of the left lane.  I know all areas have the drivers with the 6,000 pound brodozer who…

I-65 is easily the worst freeway I have ever, EVER driven on.  Especially just north of Lafayette.  It’s beyond awful
