Well, the structure that they removed is not mild steel. Admittedly, the B-pillar on a 2022 model vehicle is stronger than the 590mpa in this 2011, but the tensile and yield strength of mild steel runs about half that.

Of course nobody would drive a mint first gen Bronco in the winter.

Buy a 4WD. Check.

Own an 11 year old Camry, can confirm.

It definitely has gotten worse. My 25 mph limit residential street turns 90 degrees about 200 feet from my driveway and a couple times a month my wife or I are nearly rear-ended pulling into our driveway. I do not always use my turn signal into my driveway but I have gotten more vigilant about it - we’ve both had…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH

Tesla has their “drag race” mode. When are they gonna use the cameras to monitor the tree, allowing the driver to launch the second the last yellow light goes out?

At least the watered down Mountain Dew *sorta* looked like coolant.  We refer to Mountain Dew Baja Blast as “washer fluid”

Especially when you feed in $40K to get the F150 and it gets hung up on the Mirage on the way down and you have to feed in another $3.25 to purchase the Mirage to get your F150.  Or does that only happen to me?

I have a special version of hate for the USDM Previa. Spent a decade doing emission testing in California and this was pretty much my least favorite to test. Checking the ignition timing was loads of fun, having to get underneath the vehicle to attach the inductive lead to #1 cylinder then going all the way to the…

Hah, I remember when I bought my first one of those.  It came in a spark plug set and at first I was pissed because I didnt notice the handle of the wrench was angled.  I despised it for about 3 minutes, then it became a good friend over the years.

I absolutely cannot believe that nobody here has mentioned this yet...

While I can’t recall specifics - I saw a shitton of AWFUL ones come out of the scuzzy Paul Blanco dealership outside of Sacramento. I worked a nearby salvage yard that would get the junk they would take in on tradeins that was so garbagey it wasnt worth hauling to the wholesalers. They would routinely leave deal…

Yep. When my parents were at the Ford dealer (Boone Ford in Olympia, Washington) buying the brown on brown manual trans ‘81 Fairmont wagon, they had a Durango sitting in the showroom. While they were dealing with the finance guys, I was sitting in the Durango just goin places in my head.  

Not to be that guy, but Fox bodies got the 200 ci automatic - derived from the Falcon 170. The 300 was the truck motor, derived from the 240.

I had that too! Makin mix tapes before everyone else, amirite? Nothin’ like bein in the middle of that awesome song and..... “KA-CHUNK!!!” *next program*

I of all people should be drawn to this like a moth to a flame. Our drivers ed cars were Fairmont sedans. My parents had a Jalopnik special root beer brown manual trans wagon when I got my permit. A ‘79 Zephyr coupe with a stick (granted mine was a 2.3L Pinto-powered one) was my first car. My second car was a ‘79…

Alright, who’s the U-Boat commander?

Consult your doctor if you have an allergic reaction after using Stellantis.

Yeah, I live in an ag community and routinely see these trucks with hooves sticking up over the top. Thankfully never loaded as full as what you described. The smell is indeed unmistakable.
