I’ll put on my poncho for the tomatoes coming my way (what fun are the obvious takes)...but I think the first gen (AT10) Scion Tc design has aged well. Unfortunately, there are like zero, even close to good condition examples around. Yes, biased because I had one. When the 2nd gen came out, at the time, I thought the…

First thing I did was try swapping ignition coils and replacing the spark plug. No dice. There was actually a service bulletin for the crank position sensor for those engines that would throw the exact same code. My engine was made like a month later than those affected, but I still brought it in to the dealer…

Just because one dealer has marked some of these vehicles up does not indicate a national trend. For example, the Crosstrek…I am 100% sure I could get one in eastern Mass for, at worst MSRP, and likely a $1000 or more off. The fact that the guy has 53 alone means there is no way he is getting those markups from most…

I did this the other day. To get full performance my Mazda6 (turbo engine) needs premium, which is what I use, even though you can use regular. But I had to drive ~300 miles round trip for work, and didn’t want to spend the money on premium (I also way reduced my speed to gain some MPGs). Anyway...illogically I was…

I know you’re joking, but this is what people like this jackwad want...you to be so fed up that you stop caring. For the sake of all of us...don’t stop caring.

Christina Horner would be hard pressed to start accusing others of cheating...

This is what I said in another article. Everyone is convinced these are good investments. I am not. How much are they giving Phil Mickelson to suck ass at golf on the CW channel?

This story is emblematic how so many people in this country love freedom for themselves, but then refuse to grant that same freedom to others. I am sure he cited ‘freedom’ as a reason not to get vaccinated. But then here he denies this other person freedom to wear a mask.

Not quite the same, but the following happened to me at a dealer... I needed a car inspection (Massachusetts) and for some reason that I can’t quite remember I brought my Mustang GT to the dealer even though I never get my inspections done at the dealer. While it was a manual, that is actually irrelevant to the story.…

I will look at what I know...football. Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys for 140 million dollars in 1989. If he invested that in the S&P that would have been worth 4 billion today. The Cowboys are worth 9 billion. Yeah better than 4 billion, but not extremely better. I don’t think you will ever see that type of…

Nothing teaches the running/managing a business like inheriting of shit-load of money. /s

Good points, though I question whether the sky high appreciations that  we have seen in the recent past, will continue.

I think they functioned admirably when they were used for their intended purpose which was transport of troops/supplies mostly in rearward positions. They started sucking when they started being used in combat, for which they were not designed. The up-armored versions were slow, unwieldy, and had crappy blast…

I have been thinking about this, though mostly along the lines of the Saudi Arabian purchase of stuff. Mostly I have been thinking about it with regards to golf (which I neither play nor watch). Are these investments really worth it? Seems like most of these purchases (or attempts) are either image-washing exercises,…

Obviously. Of course it was going to be a terrible civilian car. It was designed for military purposes. Only reason it did ok (for sales) was because a lot of insecure man-babies live in this country and needed one to feel/look tough.

At first I thought this was unnecessarily inconvenient for us Massholes (yup I’m one), but now I realize why they do this. It basically ensures you have insurance (which is required here). Not only can you not get plates without insurance but you can’t renew your registration either. Could you get insurance and then…

The hydrogen powered truck is a fuel-cell. Not pistons and valves. 

I guess I am a little surprised the 1ZZ is on here. Always considered getting an MR2 if I happened to have the means. Maybe I will rethink that.

Auto climate control. When I went from a relatively bare bones car up to one with a bevy of options, the option I like the most, and will not do without in the future, is auto climate control. Doesn’t need to be dual zone, single zone is fine. But just setting and forgetting the temp for a drive is key.This is…

You sound like a responsible gun owner who, I’m inferring from your post, has taken firearms training, including safety training. You, and others like you, aren’t the people whom most gun control advocates, myself included, want to take guns from…I hope you realize that.
