“With climate change destroying more and more American lives and livelihoods with each passing day it, it’s pretty clear that America needs to totally rehab its transportation thinking. We need to drastically cut car commuting, boost public transportation with a ferocity not seen since the 19th century, and fight…

What Grand Cherokee-owning individual in your past hurt you? Every post you’ve made here is shitting on this vehicle.

It is a 27 year-old Jeep, a rare iteration at that, and some people do like them. This one runs, this one doesn’t immediately need an engine or clutch, and the interior appears to be decent for the…

Jalopnik: In other news, David Tracy is on his way to Washington D.C. to pick up another Jeep Grand Cherokee 5spd, story to follow.

Very true, but mine was obscenely-low, which made getting in a ‘falling task’.

Natural sparks? I’d love some examples beyond lightning.

Wife hates my cars, currently a Mustang and RX-8. Previous cars of her ire included a Miata, RX-7, and an Audi CoupeGT.

Her reasons? Low entry, tighter space between seat and dash and headroom clearance.

Guy has a period-correct Club, nice price all the way. ;)

Indeed. The fuel savings won’t necessarily offset the necessary battery replacement, which as of current tech, has proven a requirement over the term of ownership.

The most common argument is that the initial cost of an EV is high, but that over the term of ownership, you’ll save money. That is simply not true, until…

It is too expensive for what you get, I still stand by that about most older cars. That said, the design and styling is a stable of automotive history, I love the weird color combo, and the steering wheel says ‘928' inside a giant ‘S’.

New bridge, who dis?

You’re right, 25k buys a real Porsche. The door jamb of this 928 even reflects as such:

No one should be paying 42k for a fucking Civic, that is right there with the 42k MINI for absurdity.

EDIT: Your name reminds me, if you’re going to entertain expensive and possibly unreliable, why not an ALFA Romeo Giulia? Talk about a gorgeous car with good dynamics; although, the lack of a manual is a chink in the…

Gas prices surging won’t mitigate the obsession with SUV/CUVs — if we see another recession with gas prices soaring, people will swivel to electric SUV/CUV options. OPEC has to play it careful as they can’t muscle the market like in years past, there is an alternative now, even if not necessary palatable to the…

STOCK CAR = !Stock car

Mazda factory oil (0w20 with Moly), available at all official dealerships, is Idemitsu.

I love the Cooper JCW, it fels like a Golf GTI, with a little more retro-silyl charm, and an odd but beautiful interior. Their durability (BMW done on the cheap) concerns me, and overall their drive-style was more stately BMW than ravenous Abarth. It was a good car to drive, but not fun, just good.

I still seriously…

I’m a big fan of ‘choice’, but we are seeing an unhealthy swath of it. We have so many car options, and yet they all cater to the same basic categories with little more than styling changes to differentiate, instead of opening up more niche options or taking drastic style/design paths — the like we saw in the late…

The car is in excellent shape for the mileage. If something major is going to fail on a BMW, it’ll happen in the first 100k — a car that has seen a lot of miles (assuming it was maintained) will likely be in better shape than an occasionally ran, often neglected one. The assumption on maintenance would depend upon…

Paying your bills and being a responsible member of society is not anti-cool. What you do outside of your responsibilities, like riding all over the state on your motorcycle, may better dictate the scale of cool.

Can’t disguise those eyebrows.
