20 hours for one car? No way. That’s insane. Especially when the grind is boring as hell with few different options.

The moment someone uses the word “Sheeple” They lose all credibility. 

I guess I’m the weird one... I enjoy electrical work. It’s all very logical and step by step and my brain just works that way.

He could have, but he had enough class to not. Good Guy Larson

So like a Standard Beetle? Not that original

Why do they let people that hate cars write for a car blog, it makes no sense. Bugger off back to Gizmodo where you belong.

Ok, so stupid question, but why put the engine in the back? Wouldn’t it be so much better in the front to help keep it down? I mean that thing is almost always on 2 wheels, I’d imagine the extra 500 pounds up front would help, especially since it looks like it’s hanging out OVER the back, pulling the nose up even more.

Especially for a car that you’d be too scared to EVER drive.

Doug, I OWN an iQ. I love the little car. I got it for dirt cheap with really low miles because no one wanted it. It’s great. Wonderful daily driver and great mileage. Sure, it looks funky, but it really feels like a shorter corolla to drive. So much better than a Smart ForTwo.

My apartment says that working on your vehicles in the parking lot is forbidden but I, and many other people, do it anyway. They really don’t care. It’s probably some sort of legal crap so they don’t get sued or whatever. But I’ve got a buddy with a warehouse that I do all my major work in. It’s handy.

Dat Talladega Nights reference, though.

I live in Dallas! I have a plastidipped modified econobox! Why haven’t I heard of this before?! This looks seriously amazing. I hope that maybe next year I’ll have the funds and maybe the dispensation of the wife to do this.

Really? No Smokey Yunick? That’s really sad, the dude was a total character.

Hey Michael, congratz, you made the Dallas Morning News!

The biggest one: Overestimating your abilities. Seriously, if you stop and look at something and really don’t understand how it works or you can’t figure out from a quick youtube/google search, please, take it to a shop. We see so much work that, ‘Oh, my buddy tried it first but couldn’t do it’. At that point it’s…

Give me Google Now instead of Siri on an iPhone and I’d switch.

Rule #1 when I’m working on an interference engine doing a Timing Belt: Make sure I can rotate the engine 4 whole rotations without any issues at all. If I feel even the slightest issue, I stop and recheck the timing marks. I’ve yet to screw up a single engine doing that. And yes, once or twice I have found myself a…

Hey, my Beetle does this naturally due to 42 years of sag in the rear torsion beam. Does that mean that I’m ahead of a trend?

All this sounds like is, “I’m an elitest asshole that looks down on casuals and anyone that doesn’t want to spend hours every day playing a game.” Yeah, HotS is more casual. You’re right. But you know that’s not a bad thing. They’re going to get many more people playing this than LoL simply because of that fact. I…

If only it wasn’t so goddamn ugly. That thing looks awful from behind. They really killed the Mini for me this generation. My wife had a 2012 Cooper and I enjoyed it, but we both agree that this new one is just awful.
