My friend, we have run into each other before on this forum, and I have enjoyed our interaction. I don’t know how old you are, but I am old enough to remember when torque steer was a problem on damn near every single FWD car on the road. It is basically a function of unequal length drive shafts, and no amount of…

Tourque Steer anyone?

I nominate the Grand Cherokee Hemi. Built since the mid ‘00's, they are about as luxurious as you can get and a real steal in the used car market.

My second car was a ‘59 Impala Convertible. Black with red interior, 283 CU engine with “three on the tree”. My future wife and I got into some serious business in the back seat of that car, and I loved it. It had the typical rusty rear quarter panels, which I meticulously fixed and then immediately cut someone off…

I once spent a week and a half trying to bleed my brakes until I read the manual for my ‘80 MGB. You have to unscrew the switch 2 1/2 turns when bleeding, otherwise both sides of the master cylinder won’t level off.

Down here in Florida, purchasing any Corvette is automatic admission to the “Old Car Guy’s Club”. Not ready for that, yet. CP.

“Are You Being Served?”

The correct title for this article should be “The reality of owning an older car IN NEW YORK CITY.”

Funny. They just “auto resubscribed” me though Pay Pal without my consent. Wonder if I will be getting my money back.

A gallon or so of POR15 will take care of all of that.

Been half halfheartedly shopping for used Grand Cherokee SRTs. Talk about depreciation! I could buy two or three of them for this price, and at least be able to get out of my own way when hitting the “go” pedal.

Once saw a van driving through some little town in California with a couple of llamas in the back. 

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hands up whoever didn’t see this coming. 

This is perhaps the best iteration of the old Buick/Olds engine. Rover spent a lot of time making sure that these were fairly reliable, and addressed many problems that earlier models had. I’m not gonna get all tech spec here, but there are many 4.6's running around out here with none of the problems of the earlier…

I had a friend (now deceased) who collected two types of cars.

I have had an iPhone 8X for a number of years now, and have dropped the damn thing on all sorts of surfaces, face up and face down, and the damn thing seem impervious to damage. I would expect that the newer models are even tougher.

This just sounds like Billy Carter all over again. Remember him?

Bigger engine in a smaller car? And a factory option at that. NP.

I have yet to figure out how to upload photos to Jalopnik. Also, this was well before the smart phone phase.
