Were you potty trained at gunpoint?

Good work, but, much like wooden bumpers, irrespective of how well the piece is made, individual wooden parts on cars always look tacky and out of place. If the entire passenger compartment were lined in similar wood, different story. Sorry

Shhh. If we complain too much, he might paint the fucking thing gold with silver accents.

In the “buy here pay here” lots, the deal usually works like this:
They buy an older car for say, $500 and offer it for sale for $1500. They offer you “financing” which they hold themselves (there’s no bank involved). They require, say, $600 down, so they make a $100 profit even if you never make a payment. They…

One problem with selling the Stinger privately is one of logistics. The buyer is going to get a car loan to buy it from the seller, and the bank lending him the money will want the title in their possession at some point. The buyer gives the check to the seller who can’t get the title from HIS bank until he pays it…

Finally, after 25 years of airless tires being right around the corner, airless tires are right around the corner.

You mention a change from hydraulic to solid lifters. Lifters, in a DOHC engine?

This is the ultimate “first world” problem.

When you say how “sad” it is that cars have gotten so expensive, ostensibly in comparison to the relative price of the XK 140, you’re doing us all a dis-service by ignoring the multitude of safety features in modern cars, such as disk brakes (which you mentioned in the title), as well as a multitude of airbags, safety…

I’m a two cat kind of guy

Wow. So calling people you’ve never met an “asshole” before they even post anything isn’t “shitty or mean”? Buh bye.

Bollards? So, we need barriers to tell us to not drive on pedestrian walkways?

Am I the only person who’s wondering if you meant “psyche” instead of “sike”?

I hear that if you connect your iPhone in reverse, it will add about 10 miles to the range. 

My Cessna 172 cost about $150/hr to own and maintain, all in. My Cirrus SR22 was around $240/hr. Both numbers do not include original acquisition costs. And these are among the least expensive, instrument capable planes to own.

I’d bet its more marketing than anything else. Its reminiscent of the old traction bars found on street rods in the 1960s and 1970s. That may be the group that Ford is targeting by making them visible. No different than useless hood scoops and the like

Clarkson has always been a difficult person to like. This puts it over the top. I know that his whole shtick is to be a bit of a curmudgeon, but he pushed the act too far. You can like the girl or dislike her, but attacking her in this way reveals Clarkson for the pantywaist he really is. I’m done with him and…

So, just because you like the vehicle means the “ruling is dumb and bad”. Maybe if you’ve ever created anything original in your life, only to see it ripped off, you’d have a little better understanding of “the ruling”. Pfft

Why are bikers always giving advice to people in cars? We are supposed to “Watch out for motorcycles” according to those ubiquitous bumper stickers, whereas, at least here in Florida, we see them riding on our bumpers, passing cars by straddling the broken white line, passing on the right, weaving in and out of…

Quirkiness. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Quirkiness.
