The car you buy doesn’t determine whether or not you’re an enthusiast. Especially in the rest of the world where owning a car is a big financial burden. The annoying thing with your typical enthusiast is that they’re constantly virtue signaling.

This is the thing that we car lovers don’t understand about the simple ordinary folks - they don’t care about cars. Like, yes, the Versa is totally unlovable piece of, I don’t know, a thing, that is perfectly serviceable and reliable, and unlike their Explorers and Blazers, it was new, a new car. With working AC. And…

One massively overlooked benefit of winter tires is that they damn near pay for themselves if you’re keeping your car for 5 years or more. By keeping your fair weather tires in the garage for nearly half the year, both sets will last several years longer than they would otherwise as year-round rubber. Yes, you’re…

Kinda feel bad for Haley.

Huge win for Olivia Rodrigo, bunch of new material for her.

Huh. Current car is an ‘07 Highlander and I quite like it. But I guess I view cars more as facilitators of adventures rather than adventures in and of themselves. That Highlander is a solid car for camping, mountain biking, xc-skiing, & hiking with the dog.

I don’t know much about welding but it looks like that weld held. The break was on the metal not on the weld.

The Lexus was just soooo boring.

That argument checks out.

Fatigue is the direct cause of the failure but I would argue not the root cause. A properly designed steel part will not fatigue. The applied stresses should be below its endurance limit which means it can handle them indefinitely (aluminum does not have this property). The root cause here is more likely corrosion, or…

First, hopefully everyone is ok.

I wonder how these guys maintain that particular fiction when it’s only corrupt and dictatorial governments that go hard on Crypto, while actively screwing their citizens.

Everyone saw this coming. In fact, one of my favorite dry YouTube narrative makers, DoNotEat01 did a 40 minute min-doc in 2019 explaining exactly why The Loop would fail.

Great gimmick, But did anyone really think taking a mass transit concept and converting it to vehicle traffic was really a solution to congestion issues? It just moves it underground. But I doubt that was it’s intention anyway. More marketing and the whims of a person that has a company and it’s investors money at…

“NO ONE WAS CANCELLED THERE WERE NO LASTING CONSEQUENCES SEE GUYZ!”

It’s even crazier you can can drive anything up to 26,000 pounds:

Did your dad also hand-crank start his own cars? ‘Cause that is actually how you start a car? It’s more “engaging” and causes you to “actually learn about governing the engine”.

The truck thing absolutely needs to change. People shouldn’t be out driving vehicles with a hood height of 4' or more without special training, licensing, and insurance.

I need to run to the store immediately and buy a lottery ticket as today is my lucky day. I finally get to share the Jeep video with people who have been asking about the time David Tracy crashed in my garage for almost a year now, and Kinja is actually letting me comment and receive notifications! David is a BOSS for…

I ignored 3 sales calls and finally took a lunch break to go sit in my jeep and read this story. When I was a kid, I grew up reading 4Wor, JP, and Four Wheeler, and guys like Freiburger, Verne Simons, Nick Cappa, and Rick Pewe were my idols. Getting home from school I’d see a shiny new issue sitting on the kitchen…
