Totally useless fact about Christmas Island that I just learned yesterday: their timezone is +14:00 hrs GMT...yes, “2 hrs” further east than the International Date Line. I don’t know why they couldn’t just be -10:00 hrs GMT, that’s beyond me.

Agree 100%. My wife and I named our puppy Nova partially because I like third-gens so much.

Hey now, a lot of time, hard work and dedication went into moving stuff from the right side of the page to the left, and stuff from the left side of the page to the right.

They would be better off marketing the torque in Nurples

Somewhat related: I subscribe to Motortrend, Car And Driver and Road & Track, and in the last couple of months I’ve received 3 very aggressively priced renewal reminders from CAD and R&T stating that I need to re-up my subscription soon or I’ll miss issues, but I know for a fact that my subscription is good until…

But how can all the super car manufacturers sell cars when they surely come nowhere close to meeting CAFE? McLaren isn’t part of a larger company like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti or Rolls-Royce, and yet it can still sell cars here without having.

This resulted in STI working with government organizations as a secondary manufacturer, similar to how Lexus is considered a secondary manufacturer to Toyota. Because of STI’s secondary manufacturer status, the S209 gets lumped into the Subaru lineup when it comes to fleet emissions requirements, etc., but allows STI…

My house was built in 1971 and most of it is wired with aluminum (copper in the basement because it was finished later on). When my wife and I moved in, I had to change all the switches and receptacles to CO/ALR units because they used standard units. Found 3 receptacles with charred wiring, SMH.

Preach! And while we’re at it, let’s abolish motorcycle helmet and car seatbelt laws, because after all, Jesus never wore a seatbelt or helmet.

Jeeze, Elizabeth, you should have been included in the most recent Tempest podcast.

How about the Mustang ReVolt, because that’s what enthusiasts will do when Ford slaps another storried performance name like Mustang on a crossover, such as with the Edge ST and Explorer ST.

That is some bullshit! “Rotating tires” is not simply swapping the position of the tires on a car. Using their reading of the law, the shop wouldn’t even have to install the nuts/bolts, they could just hang the wheels off the hubs and the job would be considered complete.

sit on a phone book, you’re not using it for anything else anyway.

Matte black is now almost exclusively seen on beat up cars driven by rednecks. It was a fad and it’s thankfully over. Pick a vibrant colour if you want to wrap a car.

I’m flabbergasted. I know we pay a lot more tax in Canada, but at least we have universal health care and better labour laws. My condolences.

Wait a minute... you don’t have severance pay in America?!?!

My 2006 Mazdaspeed6 had automatic switches in all positions (4 switches on the driver’s door, and one switch on each other door for a total of 7 switches). It also had two neat functions: hold the unlock button and the key fob and all the windows would go down; and when you pressed the down button on the window when…

Agreed. Lowering springs to get it to proper sedan ride height would me the first modification to make if I bought one.

Green has always been the superior colour, it’s just that brown was more common and we didn’t want to make our automotive unicorn too unattainable.
