6 or 10 or 15 mph over the limit is not “reckless driving”, it’s speeding. Reckless/dangerous driving can even happen if you’re going slower that the posted limit, if it’s snowing, if you’re texting, or if you’re wasted. Yes, 40 or 50 mph is reckless, but don’t conflate the two. Excessive consequences for 5 or 10 mph…

Why rebuild the engine, then sell?! Especially at that mileage?

Range anxiety is a big, if not bigger, issue with EVs in the heartland (which is marked by broad swaths of sparsely-populated rural areas). Between longer travel distances, in general, and diminished range in cold weather, they’re just not as practical as when they’re used primarily in denser urban areas and/or the…

Third Gear - the counterpoint is that less demand for service means that it should be easier to attract and retain more and better-qualified techs for the fewer positions being required. All service operations, not just dealerships, are (going to be?) facing (and balancing) the whole supply and demand part, with both…

One of the missing tools appears to be the jack . . .

Base versions of pickup trucks, both full-size and mid-size.

It’s a nice survivor, in apparently good condition. The price is too high, but “the answer is always ‘no’, until you ask”. That leaves room for negotiation, but at its current asking price, it’s a ND, for me.

I’d like a better explanation about why we need to link our accounts when doing so allows Kinja access to a lot of our private data.

1971 VW van/bus/”station wagon”.  Fun to drive, easy to park, extremely useful, learned a lot about wrenching, great gas mileage, miss it (and the other two 1970 ones I owned).

I’m not surprised that the Frankenstein was built (redneck engineering at its finest). I am surprised that it’s sat for 25 or 30 years instead of being hauled off for its scrap value. ND at $5,000, NP at $500 for a conversation piece/no-tech prepper escape pod.

The biggest problem with cameras (versus missors) is the small lense. A drop of rain on a small lense is a big issue, not so much on a mirror. Heated mirrors deal nicely with freezing rain, will we be getting heated camera lenses? And having just driven a rental Malibu, with side mirrors that tilted down to look at…

Right now, this one is at 959 to 957 - NP winning!

Not much different from second generation VW vans or early American minivans - balance the number of doors with the actual needs, save a few bucks and add a little bit of structural rigidity.

No poll - NP!

One, I agree, completely, on the HVAC controls - we have a Crosstrek and the 3 knobs work great, even with gloves on.

Kinda like KFC and McDonald’s messing with how they fried their original chicken and french fries, respectively, in the name of better heart health.

You could drop a crate engine in it and it would still be CP . . .

$7500 + SBC crate engine = interesting?

I had a ‘65 Corvair with a 2-speed Powerglide transmission - it was kind of cool that I could brag about hitting 50 mph in first gear!

It’s the same reason (and reasoning) behind the original Road Runner.
