So, some have been saying S-10. As others may have said, the front lights give me pause on that. I’m gonna say Isuzu Hombre. The front lights would give that amber level with the main headlights. That rear lamp cut is distinctive, though.

Yeah, the chrome wheels and 35 series tires on a lifted truck instantly move them into the “She thinks my tractor’s sexy” crowd. You know, the country rap crowd. Big vinyl “REDNECK” on the back glass whilst blasting Kan(Ye).
Fuck these guys. We all have different tastes, can get passionate about them, and are free to express them. But sabotage like this sends a stigma that validates certain stereotypes. I grew up in a very rural area. Bro-dozers are common, and many of my friends have them. A sizable percentage of them are great people.…
It’s also good for recharging in between marathon, um.. “workout” sessions. And by workout, I mean sweaty calorie burning sex.
How about the extreme up and down of the steering wheel in a chase? If you did that IRL, you’d look like Helen Keller driving a rally course.
The theme song. When I put it on for my kids, the crooner singing the theme song caused my brain to immediately default to Mark Jonathan Davis aka Richard Cheese. I cannot find any proof that he sang it, but it sure does sound like him.
Objective observation: I worked as a parts manager in a Hyundai store for a couple years. Before that, I was in service as technician, service writer, de facto service manager, and QA for Acura. Spent about 15 years with Acura, even through the automatic transmission debacle of the mid-aughts. Hyundai/Kia does have…
It’s still not good enough for so many cars. After riding motorcycles for decades (and almost being killed on one), I whip my head around instinctively before moving into a blind spot area. Even using those tips highlighted in that article on my Acura TL leaves a surprisingly omission in coverage. But it’s muscle…
Actually, I do the dishwashing myself most days.
Good freaking gods, yes. My wife insists on hand washing dishes. All. The. Time. And runs the tap the entire time.
He was just verifying proper operation of engine acceleration, clutch engagement, and speedometer calibration for the complimentary 45 point inspection they give for every customer.
I can say with 95% certainty there is an aftermarket start controller on this car. And there’s a logic fault in it. Most cars (read: all) nowadays use CAN to send multiple data packets over a single wire. If the unit is faulty, or has a corrupted input, it will definitely try to start it. That fob hanging down is for…
I worked as a technician at an Acura dealer. My wife and I were renovating our kitchen on our downtime. Because of my house’s unusual construction, I had to order a very special dishwasher that was a different size. That unit had to be shipped from Queens, NY. The tracking information was on my work terminal; once I…
Sit back, this is a long one.
I can totally back this up. So many systems require calibration from manufacturers software suites. The most infuriating part is many manufacturers will not release the software to be used outside of the dealer network. Years back, you could lease the HDS (Honda Diagnostic System) and have virtually all capabilities…
THIS! ALL THIS!
Working in the car industry the last few years, I can definitely attest to all this. There have been numerous occasions where a small-to-moderate collision resulted in a totaled vehicle. The infiltration of all these systems put money in my pocket for years, but I shudder when thinking about buying a new car.
You’re..........welcome?
Those were markedly easier than newer ones. I loved those because the subframe could stay in, a la 97-99 3.0CL.
