Luv me some old mini-trucks! My buddy’s 1982 Mazda B2200 diesel which I borrow sometimes. Sweet ride. Brown, manual, diesel, my buddy earned his Jalop card.

C...O...T...D ....preach!

I appreciate you every day Torch, for superior articles such as this. Things I wondered as a kid about auto lights, and you answer. Now if only amber would be made standard on rear tailights turn signals as it should have also been mandated at the time.

Having owned a 2003 Element, 5spd manual, AWD... loved it, but also poorly built.  I finally let it go once the manual transmission started to fail, did not want to fork out $3500 for a new one, and I babied it.  Sheet metal is thin, no noise insulation, and road noise is quite loud.  ... No you cannot hose out the…

So, if true Mazda will manufacture what Toyota should have. A completely Japanese (JDM!) inline six sport coupe.... I’m on board.... ‘overnight parts from Japan’.

I have worked on news media websites for over half of my career as a web developer. Notice how the top ads stay in place for a while and we cannot see the normal content pane for 4 seconds or so? It’s called ‘ad visibility’ in the industry. Likely part of G/O’s changes to drive more ad revenue.  Scripts like that (and…

I seriously have thought about buying a 2nd gen Volt, that badge has pushed me away every time.

But “big gubbmint!”.... enough already. I was a flight attendant for 6 months years ago. I was happy the FAA was strict as hell and enforced every rule. FAA has had a few issues (Boeing certification and fire standards years ago), but overall was impressed and happy they had their eye out. The FAA inspector woman was…

Well this was easy...

I was watching Alex on Autos review of the K900. He stated it’s likely because this is a world car, sold a lot in the Middle East, most of which match US federalization standards. So for Kia, even with only 300 units a year it’s a ‘why not?’ decision, they’re making them anyway to US standards, then why not send to…

Don’t forget eEdsel with special a ‘toilet seat’ trim level. It will have that mammalian biowaste unit built into the drivers seat. It will be truly a shitty hybrid.

Got the perfect rental to buy! That’ll buff right out...

That Accord Sport is the way to go especially in red. For the love of God though don’t sell that LandCruiser, keep it as a weekend 4wheel family fun offroad camping rig.

As Toyota 4Runner sales are quite high and overlanding is all the craze. The Pathfinder has a great 4x4 legacy and they should return to it. Make the Pathfinder a true BOF competitor again to the 4Runner. Then upsize the Rogue or introduce a model that competes with the Highlander to take the large crossover spot the…

First thought.... ‘of course he did (buy it)‘.  Unobtanium exists!

A used Nissan Leaf is that now... I’d buy one, can get a good condition one for 7k, but man, they are BUTT ugly, so I won’t.

Yes, 70's brown was the thing... my first car, 1977 Subaru 1600 DL. Metallic brown, woodgrain, wagon, 4spd manual, checks off all the Jalop boxes ... *loved* that car until it got rear ended and was towed away.

I love me some first gen 4Runners, but gotta stick with these I already have...

Clarkson and company already got the market covered .....

All this.  Too add to it, Splinter was shut down right before the 2020 election, nice way to shut off more traffic there.
