You can buy an Aston from us. You can pay cash. We’re still going to put a badge on the back to let the world know where you got it. It really is just like buying a pleb Honda after all.

“Do yourself a favor and do not keep the combination that opens those safes anywhere NEAR them. Write them down on a piece of paper, put them in the Notes app on your phone”

This isn’t just a waste of money. It’s a reminder to those who would have been hurt by the legislation who to vote against in the next cycle. (Assuming it aired in their home district)

The wrong side of the road stuff could be a tourist. We rented a car down there years ago. Us Yanks can forget to “stay left” when driving on the right is all you know.

There’s a value judgement to be made and the commercial in this post doesn’t appeal to that. They’re trying to expand their brand appeal to a youthful market. It doesn’t appeal to me, but I understand who they’re trying to target. And there’s the rub: If the brand is the most appealing aspect of your product, is it…

You don’t have to own one to know how much they cost to repair. Germany’s reputation for build quality is a myth and parts are expensive.

I was young and stupid. But I kept the original parts because I wasn’t THAT stupid.

I have a first gen Miata. For a while back in college, I had a short throw shifter in it. It was a solid piece of machined steel that shortened the already short throw of the stock shifter. It felt like crap and vibrated constantly. I also had a cool billet aluminum shift knob which made the whole kit look…

I remember someone I met remarking how well his Civic handled after reinstalling the stock suspension. (He had to pass inspection or something) Some performance mods can make a car uncomfortable. There’s also a point where the mods you make have diminished performance returns. Sure, you can do an LSx swap, but then…

We can’t all be movie stars, Dax. It sounds to me like you haven’t had a proper introduction to these guys.

Did you watch the same video I did? The Pontiac’s blind spot was clear as he was merging. That driver should have floored it to get up to proper speeds, but that doesn’t change the fact that the lane was clear when he entered it. The dash cam owner posted that it might have been him that hit the Pontiac because of…

You know what else is great about cars from the 90s and back? Most state governments don’t care about emissions from pre-OBD2 vehicles. You can do what you want with little to no regard for the Man. Chevy LS swaps not only offer a ton of power, they burn so much cleaner than the original equipment that it’s…

If you can afford to buy them, store them and work on them, they’re not terribly expensive to own. The insurance on my toy only adds a few hundred dollars to my policy for our other two cars. I cancel the liability component when it’s in storage and they refund the difference.

The laugh this gave me makes up for the time I wasted watching that other crap. Thank you!

I think the 0.01% are running out of reasons to buy things, so those who cater to them are just taking their astronomically priced products and dipping them in precious metals and stone so they can impress the 0.1%. Most ordinary people shake their heads and live their lives. Most of them.

*ahem*

I don’t want to stop the march of progress. Autopilot is great for long stretches of unchanging road like Interstate 70 through Kansas. Tesla knows their technology isn’t perfect, which is why they require drivers to keep their hands on the

Motorhome trips with the fam back in the 70s. This was on the 8-track a lot. :)

In Chicago, north of downtown, is a neighborhood called Rogers Park. Sheridan Road runs through this neighborhood. It’s one of my favorite drives if you want to head into the north suburbs without taking the highway. A lot of beautiful homes line that road through the north suburbs with relatively few stop lights and…

Loud enough to knock you down.
