Lower energy prices are very good thing for this country. They attract manufacturing and the attendant jobs. They make us less dependent on authoritarian asshole governments like Russia, Venezuela, and Iran. They help the poor especially because of their tighter and smaller budgets and the poor are more dependent…
What actually bothers me here is that we're missing the best chance in a while to raise the gas tax, which is something we desperately need to do. All of our highways are funded by a gas tax and, while cars get more efficient (or electric), the amount of money in the pot to fix roads goes down, even as we have more…
We'll start off today's column with a little game. It's called: Guess which automaker currently offers the most…
E39 M5, provided you can stomach the gas mileage. Having had an E39 540 and an E46 330, the 540 is my literal dream car. I still dream about it, even though it left me on the side of the road more often than any car I've owned. Doesn't matter. Dreamy. My E46 6-speed had neck snapping shifts, which is why I sold it…

An uncle of mine *almost* bought one. He had been a Honda guy throughout his entire life. His first car was a first-gen Accord 3-door, which got him through college, and lasted almost 250k miles of moronic adolescent abuse. His next car was another Accord, bought in 1987. When he got a huge promotion, he wanted to…
Most of my DIY is much more geeky and far less badass, so the one thing I always needed—but took to long to buy—was pretty much everything in this toolkit. Tiny screwdrivers, torx heads, little plastic prying things...everything you need for repairing (and destroying warranties on) phones, laptops, desktop PCs, and so…
You should definitely demand your money back immediately.
