Older VW. Bad reputation for breaking. Inflated parts prices. ‘Nuff Said.

I once worked with a Doctor who, it seemed, would wake up in the morning with an idea and insist that it be implimented immediately. I’m pretty sure that our friend Mr. Trump operates the same way. Whatever they dream about, it has to happen, with very little “thinking it through”.

Yeah, O’Hare AP NOT my favorite Airport.

Must have been the rumble of those three cars that triggered a breakdown. Guess they are damn lucky they weren’t filming what that happened.

As a rule, I stay away from anything BMW. But, in this case, I think I might buy the car, bring it home here to Florida, and drop the engine and tranny into the TR7 sitting in my driveway waiting for the appropriate transplant to drop in my lap.

I have stopped many times over the years to help someone, and I have had many people stop to help me when I have broken down in one of my various sports cars. Happened yesterday, as a matter of fact.

Not a chance. My wife and I looked at one of these when they fist came out. I rode, well, like a truck. We were totally unimpressed, in spite of the salesman in the backseat talking a mile a minute. Bought a Grand Cherokee instead. Jeep knows how to build a truck that rides like a car on the highway.

It is probably something as simple as someone replacing the bulbs in the wrong slots. My TR8 has four different, individual bulbs for lights, braking, back up and signals. It’s very possible to move them around.

Well yes, that certainly makes more sense. Actually, I think it would be cool to put 3 of the 4 cyl’s in there.

I didn’t understand this comment under the original story and I STILL don’t understand it. 

In my mind’s eye I can just see all of those abandoned scooters I saw out in Oakland, CA suddenly standing up and motoring back to their docks.

He now drives a 2018 LaCross. It is rough riding, noisy and gets about the same mileage as the Riviera did. I hate riding in it and I hate driving it.

Pay attention, now, and let me tell you a secret about older British sports car. They were made for someone to be driving them sitting in the right seat. Yes, I know, it’s crazy, but there you have it.

Hands up if anybody is surprised by this? No? Silence in the ranks?

I love Gaga. Have since she hit the scene.

Pretty sure his wife (the Queen) is a better driver than he is.

My son bought one of these the first year they were introduced. He still drives it. The biggest selling point for him was that you would simply hose out the rear comparment, like a Jeep. At the time, he was volunteering with an animal rescue place, and found it handy to just be able to clean the back with little…

Took a two week driving tour of the US earlier this year, and stayed in Airbnbs every night. For the most part, they were a hell of a lot better than a hotel at about 1/2 the price. Didn’t notice any cameras, either. This sounds like a pretty isolated incident.

Call me crazy, but I really think the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk would be a hell of a lot more fun. I know it’s bit down on horsepower from these two “cousins”, but at the same time it would be eminently more practical than either one. And probably a lot more comfortable, if you can judge that from earlier Grand…

Having had my own experiences with managers at McDonalds down here in Spring Hill (pretty sure they are all owned by the same corporation), I am not surprised at all that the manager failed to intervene. Mine was not a racial incident, but it involved a greatly disturbed customer. The manager’s response? “What would…
