Yeah, but in the case that it does, they wouldn’t probably offer a four cylinder. I mean, the Frontier offers it, but the fact that it’s relegated to the base, 2WD model lessens the chance that it would actually be ordered in that configuration. They most likely keep it to be able to factor its MPG into its…

(Forgot to add to my first post)

What would be an ideal motor? The QR25DE is showing its age, being nearly 20 years old now and used in the current generation of Frontier. It’s currently the largest-displacement four cylinder in Nissan’s arsenal so they’d have to either add a smaller turbo four (defeating the purpose of a budget model) or offer the…

I’d take a 1990 Loyale wagon (which is just a renamed, third-gen GL-10) with a turbo and 4WD.

It was definitely loud. Sounded unrestricted with no mufflers.

Is it cool to retroactively add the hashtag to IG photos? I have a few I tagged in the past, but I have come across some interesting cars here in Asheville that I feel are worthy of mention.

I take your advice into consideration.

But, but, but . . . . police state, uh, oppression, police brutality... uh, #metoo #dumptrump, equality for all people. It was probably Colin Kaepernick wearing his police-as-pigs socks taking out his anger for still not being given a contract to play in the NFL.

Needs louvers over the rear windows.

(Disclaimer: Most people reading this will comment that I was an idiot and got what I deserved and should have been more thorough in inspecting the vehicle I traded for. I’ll admit my share of fault for this, but it was also shady for a middle-aged man to pull something shitty like this on a 18-year-old.)

True, your’re correct. I was never one to give the op-ed section of the campus paper their due credit. The staff of that section always seemed to phone it in when it came to their articles each week. I can understand that opinion and commentary are written from a completely subjective point of view, but the ones I…

Hmmm . . . maybe repetition works in nonfiction writing and for certain effect in narrative journalism, but general news writing has accuracy, succinctness and clarity as it base tenets, and using just enough words to get the point across. At least that’s what I learned in the communications department at my…

Why does this shit continue? I hate to be a buzzkill on Christmas Eve, but it seems like angry grandpa has become accustomed to surprises. This is the worst acting job since Bruce Campbell did anything.

Dudes, I’ve been singing the praises of MotorWeek in the comments section for years now. Finally you guys give ‘em some love.

This is my favorite model of Corvette. I always thought it favored the Ferrari F355, albeit slightly.

I thought the AMC 2.5 of that vintage had about 120-125 HP? They didn’t get a bump in HP until they switched to the Powertech engines in the late ‘90s-early ‘00s, I thought.

He gets my respect simply because he had to act in a movie alongside Amy Shumer as her boyfriend. For that, we thank you.

What about the drop-in oil filters? My BMW 318ti had the filter housing on top of the motor and you basically just replaced some gaskets and the paper element. Is all the valving and pressure-relieving doodads within the filter housing itself or what? Also, my preferred brand is Wix. When I change the oil on my…

I don’t think the on-air reporter wrote the copy for this story, but I suspect the writer sneaked a poop joke in there when it gets to the part about the lady starting a “smear campaign.” The guy said it so naturally that I don’t think he even got a whiff of what was coming.

I drove a ‘96 ti for 8 years, she never let me down. The only major maintenance was a starter motor. Other than that, oil changes, spark plugs, a reusable filter and brake pads were all she needed. I loved that car and consider it the most reliable one I’ve ever had. It took me from Phoenix, AZ to Raleigh, NC over…
