For any and all Car ID requests, I go to @iowahawkblog on Twitter, with the hashtag #DavesCarIDService, and he will get back to you in a couple of weeks when he does his car ID thread, usually on weekend days. It would surprise me if  he’s not at least familiar with Jalopnik. Good luck!

Agreed. Forest/Hunter/British Racing Green is a lovely hue.

Two Jeep Wranglers, any model year. They are objectively the worst vehicles on the road. They are always at the bottom of rankings for reliability, safety, and efficiency. Last week, while out of town, I saw a lifted Wrangler pull up to the hotel lobby. A friend of the owner was there, too, and he asked him why he…

I know it’s too late to get into the slideshow, but now that it’s Friday morning, it’s my birthday! I am now 47 years old, but the pickings from 1974 are slim. The best I can come up with is a 3/4 ton 4x4 big-block Suburban, hopefully one that’s not clapped out. Kinja won’t let me post a picture of one I found.

I said this yesterday. I’m auto-CPing everything until this insane market cools down.

I am “No Dice”-ing every car until the bubble bursts. If it never does, then so be it.

I live in central Iowa and have been to a race weekend at the Iowa Speedway. I forget which race series I saw, but I do remember the action being nearly non-stop. It’s a fun little track! I do hope an open-wheel race series returns someday.

There’s a gas station near my parents’ house that is usually 10-30 cents lower than the rest of the metro, so I try to time it for my weekly dinner over there. If I have to, and I know I’m not going to make it, I will make a trip up there to or from my way to work to fill up. If I don’t take extra trips, I can go 2…

Sell me the Suburban if you find no use for it?

I hope it comes down in a highly populated area of China.

This will be me, eventually. Both of my grandmothers died of Alzheimer’s but thankfully their respective husbands took care of them until all of them, save my maternal grandfather, who passed suddenly, were put into long-term care. Being single and childless, I don’t know who will catch my behavior change first, maybe…

I drove through Kansas City at morning rush hour about 25 years ago and missed my exit, so I drove the long way around, costing me about 45 minutes. That’s about as bad as it gets for me.

It’s gotta be my current one- 2006 Scion Xb, 1.5l DOHC I-4, 108 HP new, but with 15 years and 140k miles, probably under 100 real HP now. However, it’s so light- only 2500 lbs- and handles so well, the lack of power isn’t too much of a detriment. Plus, the VVT-i means it doesn’t run out of steam at the upper RPM range…

My mom’s red ‘79 4-door Chevette was the first car I drove, in my junior year of high school. With mid-double digit horsepower and a three-speed auto, it could barely get up the hill on the street on which my parents’ house was located. I wrecked it between my junior and senior years and my dad replaced it with... a…

I love a good heckblende.

And it’s a big-block 3/4 ton. Congrats, you’ve bought a vehicle I’ve wanted for a couple of years now, but for which I have no purpose. I had the idea, since I live in the upper Midwest, that I would put a snowplow on the front of it, but that would only be useful maybe a half dozen times in a year. But my goodness do…

1974 here as well. And oof, what a bunch of shit. Maybe I could make do with a Chevy Blazer if I had to.

The complete lack of lane discipline that everyone else seems to demonstrate. A/K/A GTFO of the left lane when you’ve finished passing- which should be done with alacrity- or, worse yet, if you’re not passing anyone. AAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!

How much would a BEV xB weigh? One of the highlights of the first-gen Scion xBs was its surprisingly good handling due to its low curb weight of only 2500 lbs. The added mass of batteries has to severely blunt that. Full disclosure: I own a 2006 xB and lo.ve it

I bought one new in 2006 and loved it so much I bought another one when the first one got wrecked 9 years later. I’m still driving it!
