WTF, no opinion on diagonal staples? So much better, and less chance of tearing.

Fuck that Baby Boomer for screwing up the economy and creating a terrible situation to be starting his life in.

Putting those cars next to each other you realize how hideous the Civic really is. Wow!!!

A manufacturer’s dealers are uniformly bad and you don’t think the manufacturer is part of the issue?

I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. When Uber first tried starting up in the city years ago they pulled out because city council insisted they comply with some regulations. Guess what those regulations were. Council wanted Uber to ensure their driver’s were licenced as commercial drivers, passed criminal background

Having the sick impulse to call the cops, from the site of one of the worst flood disasters in American history, to report victims of that flood for looting a supermarket; but also: a crime

what? You don’t want to drive a cooler?

2011+ Honda Odyssey. I grew up riding around in an 84 Caravan. The simplest box on wheels ever. Over the years minivans stopped being mini (dammit), but they were pretty much always designed with clean/simple lines. I even thought the 1999-2010 Odysseys were some of the cleanest and best styled vans out there. Then

Might as well be called the “Dodge Eunuch” because whenever I see them they’re driven by “manly men” with sword tattoos with dragons. They have their manly Oakley glasses perched atop their nose like a mask of valour. However, in the back seat are two kids and a child seat. The man said “Nay, wife. I will not have a

The Honda Ridgeline. It just reeks of poser. The first gen was a minivan with a bed. The second gen looks like what happens when someone with money decided that their Honda Pilot blended in too much so they spent the extra coin at a custom body shop to just chop the back off and give it a bed. A fwd pickup.

That is enough money to buy roughly 5.9 of their own cars.

This kind of behavior is only possible at dealerships selling gas-powered vehicles. Not at these magical and revolutionary places where you are allowed to pay MSRP. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS!

NOPE, it’s been molested. CP. I had a 4th gen Firebird and it was enough of a cluster fuck to do basic work on, and they stuffed all that turbo shit in it? No thanks even for free.

That’s a quarter panel not a fender. A fender is on the front.
That is sadly not a cheap fix. Gotta cut the old one out and weld a new one in.
Just finished doing that here on a 2017 Miata

My wife doesn’t put her feet on the dashboard. One time I saw somebody doing that, and I said to her, “That is a dumb thing to do because the airbag could send her knee through her skull.” My wife continued to not do that, and we remain happily married.

Likely trying to avoid the roadway in many of these people’s situations. Inexperienced cyclists would be leery of going into the road way, so they are hitting the first rail at 90 degrees, but hitting the second at 90 would mean going into the road - so they turn, and bam!

How big are those wheels? How tall is Jason?

Um, so what does this mean for people in completely stopped, or stop-and-go, traffic, where all lanes are creeping along at less than 5 mph? Does everybody get a ticket?

The reason why they differentiate between mid engine and rear engine is because of the engine/transaxle arrangement (think Cayman vs. 911). I don’t bother to differentiate between front-engine layouts because no engineer is stupid enough to make a rear-drive car with a transmission in front of the engine.

This was a real thing in the late 1940s, when everyone was hungry for new equipment. Willys sold over 70,000 Jeeps in 1946, and that despite the huge number of cheap used military Jeeps on the market. And, of course, many farms were much smaller then, making the Jeep a viable option until a real tractor came along.
