    The first rule of buying a used EV is liquid cooled batteries only. Air cooled battery packs don’t hold up.

    If we’re suggesting Infinity G35s, I’m going to one-up that and say Lexus IS 350C.  A fun, reliable convertible with a big trunk and hardtop for cold days and long trips.  It’ll outlive you and people won’t lump you in with Altimas.

    I live in Florida. It's hot as hell down here and no color reflects as much heat.  Silver is OK, yellow probably works, but white cars stay the coolest.

    This will never get seen since I’m perpetually Grey, but I had to drive a retired uhaul for work through Atlanta for work. Bigger than the biggest dually, it’s a nightmare in Atlantas narrow curvy streets. The sloppy steering made keeping it between the lines a pipe dream, and the manual transmission was forever…

    Nissan will be first to sell it

    I get better MPGs in my truck all the time by letting the truck slow down going uphill and romping down the downhill to let gravity make up the speed.  You absolutely can optimize the way you drive for better mileage if you don't mind annoying the hell out of any poor bastard stuck behind you. Just stay out of the…

    I drove on Biodiesel for 4 years in College. Even ran the local biodiesel community. I taught people how to take water heaters and barrels and make the fuel, and even how to negotiate with restaurants for fresh oil. It was a lot of fun and I made lots of friends and saved a ton of money. After 2007, though, Diesel…

    My 88 Waggy was a basket case too. the Oil pressure was always all over the place, so the forums recommended a cheap free flowing oil filter and Lucas in the oil. A few times it ran out of oil and I had to shut off the engine and scramble to dump a gallon of oil in and get it restarted before it could cool off. The…

    Ram owner. Getting into the back of a full size truck takes quite a leap. I installed a step to make ingress easier. Frankly I think the aftermarket has handled this better than the OEMs

    I recently bought a new Ram. The dealer first tried to charge me double sales tax for an out of state sale. When we worked that out they handed me an offer letter that didn’t specify the interest rate. I reversed their math and found that they’d raised my interest rate to 6.5% from the 5.4% we’d already agreed on.…

    Pass. They screwed the pooch on this one. The reviews on it still are very negative. I’m not sure how it has 4.5 stars on Amazon with so many 1 star reviews.

    I miss my waggy. We had some good times.

    I’ve had many. They all involved my ‘88 Wagoneer. The time my front axle u-joint failed on a steep hill in Arkansas knocking out the ball joints and the wheel fell off. We spent 4 hours driving to/from AutoZone for rental tools and parts and replacing the ball joints while the 5000lb Waggy was perched on a hi-lift…

    1980 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Diesel. And it RUNS.

    I had a clapped out 83 Dodge Charger (Omni) in high school that was a POS. The fuel pump went out on it one day and I didn’t have the money to replace it so I duct taped a gas can to the roof and siphoned gas down through some of granny’s leftover IV tubing into the carburetor. How I didn’t get pulled over or die in…

    This monorail?

    I've long claimed VW was missing the mark by not sending the US Skodas badged as VWs. Skodas are a little bigger and a little cheaper, badge engineered versions of existing VW cars, so creating an entirely different platform for a bigger and cheaper car strictly for the American market is rediculous.

    Our police departments are scrapping the Chargers and Taurii in favor of Tahoes. Apparently the Tahoe is the next cheapest Body-on-frame live-axle vehicle for fleet use. These are bound to sell well.

    I grabbed it off of Wikipedia. Its close but the decal is a little different.
