and the newest green...Moss Green (2020 Kia Telluride) but, also a lot of brown. Would this be “green” or “other” ?

I LOL’d at that. 

reasonably safe? no. There is no such thing. It’s yellow, and as long as you aren’t *in* the intersection, wait your turn, or cause an accident. 

26" rims are small. I’ve seen a lot of 33's. But soon...

Why would you restore a Jetta GLI? I get that there is probably a following, but that is a lot of coin for a nothing fancy car. Plus, if it has been restored, nothing to stop from playing with the barrels on the odometer. 

More people doing something means stats are going to be higher. Before the invention of the automobile car, I’m guessing there were no vehicle accidents. by 1920, there were probably several. Before we started keeping statistics on anything, means it didn’t happen? No, we just kept keeping track of it. More people are…

I found this to be rather interesting as well:

the FIL would still be driving his ‘94 Roadmaster wagon if the frame didn’t rust out. Sat in a warehouse where humidity killed it. well past this many miles, same motor (detuned LT1 shared from the ‘Vette). Cheap on price, interior wore like iron. Looks like a past car he was proud of, interior probably dusty. 160k &…

independent mechanics are getting pretty rare, apart from tire, oil and brake places. For now, it’s back to the dealership for warranty work, otherwise I was going to the local training school (high school) and colleges are also another route. Still cheaper than the dealership, done under guidance of a master (usually…

Let’s also not forget that there are still sexist mechanics and bodywork people. After my wife got into a wreck with her work truck (someone turned in front of her) the repair tech would talk down to her, yet at her brother. she...is not one to do that to. To her, they were using the correct parts. To him, it was…

If there is a local high school or college, ask the instructor where he would take his car. Usually they do it for training, or the instructor can do it. Car guys know car guys. Reviews are always good, but you will *NEVER* find a place that is at 100% positive. I’ve had good luck with one place from a high school…

so, what you are saying here, is that the Panigale which has 214 HP has more than today’s NPOCP V8 Tahoe from the 90's. I’ll stick to my VFR and less than stellar 106 HP or so. Just too much power for that skinny of a contact point IMO.

I’ve got a picture of Marquez with his shoulder on the ground on the Honda race bike a few years ago. Not intentional, but he didn’t lose the bike. 

a cheap ford SUV. Surely you jest. anything 4WD or AWD by ford is too much. I get there is a lot of tech, engineering, design, blah blah blah, in their vehicles, but, wow. Crazy on the price. 

the FIL did finish his barn find - a ‘64 Impala Wagon, dual quad 409/4-speed, all numbers matching that was actually in good shape. Frame was even good. 6 passenger, tinted windows, whole host of options including the heavy duty alternator. fairly rare car I would believe. 

this car could be a serious sleeper...

Oil on motorcycle tires is bad news. Not much of a contact patch to begin with, then to make it coated in oil makes it even worse. The jerk in the Silverado needs to lose a mirror over that contact. Or a dented hood/door. There is no reason for that. Vehicular manslaughter attempt? 

Telluride somewhat the same car as Palisade. Telluride has a bit more towing. (5000 vs 3500) and can have a hitch from the factory. Palisade did not have it in the options. Researched both, ended up with a Telluride, that was on the lot. Other than that, same. Hyundai owns Kia, but they don’t share the same ideas,…

New Oldsmobiles are in early this year! This mall has *everything*!

Just a bit too much dough. This owner has probably got the check from VAG, and is not passing that savings on to the next owner.
