I want to know how you barked the tires (plural) on a rear-drive three-wheeler.

Handling was an issue at 170 you say? Isn’t it a Challenger? Handling is always an issue.

How does a Jalopnik article about vacuums and cars not at least slide in a 2J reference? I am disappoint.

Wide, flat street and a shoulder if not a full blown parking lane across the intersection. I will never understand why people just think “Welp! This is where is it stopped so this is where I’m stuck!”

Some words seem to be missing in the first paragraph of this article. It doesn’t make sense as written.

The long term problem seems to be that these mandated MPG increases have been demanded at the same time as increased mandatory safety minimums and market driven power increases. Automakers are currently on a treadmill with regard to fuel economy.

Yerp! Worked past due auto loan collections for a while, also currently in year 3 of 4 in a municipal government seat.

Dear soft meatbags, please remain in your hard metal box until you are absolutely sure that nothing is still moving (and even then, wait another 15 minutes).

And his last name is Fenster, which seems to be the exact surname a thousand screenwriters have wracked their brain but failed to come up with for that one ‘Well, actually’, pushes glasses back up nose, movie trope, capital N nerd. The guy that outwits the principal that mutters “Fenster!” under his breath at the…

I will fully admit first that it has helped that my now wife and I have always made similar incomes BUT, in my opinion dividing financial expenses for two people in a long term relationship who are living together for more than a couple years (even if not married) and sharing expenses beyond just rent and utilities is…

From the front I’m getting a serious older Fiat 124 Spider vibe.

...and I don’t hate it.

I know the guy is a little hard up for cash since he has to maintain (at least) 3 Jags, but maybe he can spring for a PDR shop to take the dent out of the E-Type’s nose.

Dangerously close to goatse.

No wonder Lando bashed the radar dish. Not used to right hand hyperdrive.

I am anxiously awaiting the massive, Mark VIII levels of depreciation to strike and then I’ll try to find one.

Best average I can find for the weight of an Engine/Pumper is 35,000 pounds, even though the Model S is quite the battery-laden porker, it is under 5,000 pounds. The Tesla could have been going 150 and I’d still put my money on the fire engine looking alright afterwards.

This is the perfect advice. Totally ok to ‘lend’ people things as long as you aren’t surprised when they break the terms.

Newsflash, 70% of this country is not poor even by the loosest of definitions (well, I guess they are since they don’t save a damn thing).

Agreed, overall, I like this. Even the wheel/tire combo, but I just can’t get over the stance. Still, if they want to give it to me, I wouldn’t kick it out of the garage.

I’ve seen various numbers over the years, but they all seem to hover around two-thirds with the number saying they have $0 savings is usually around one-third. For example this article from yesterday says 61%. My comment was in reply to the guy in the article who said it “wasn’t easy” coming up with $700 to fix his…
