Get fresh tires. Tires degrade because of heat and time. Sometimes, they’re sitting in warehouses in significant heat and you’ve got people not practicing FIFO inventory management. You get a set of tires that’s been sitting in a warehouse at the back of the line for a long time, you’re getting a tire that’s had some…

From the original article- someone bring the popcorn:

Right choice, wrong Land Cruiser. Go for the Prado in the GX 460 guise and you’re getting either a new base one or a very well equipped used one for mid 40's as a CPO.  

Coal?  Shoot, let’s go back to whale oil.  I’m all in on buying a Chrysler Pequod that gets one humpback per mile. 

Ever ride a really old train and have to use the bathroom?  Let’s say you can get a really good view of the track from the toilet.  I’m sure the car was similar.  

Wonder how tariffs would impact european delivery programs?  You’re buying an import, but you’re not importing a new car, you’re importing a used car, which has always been the thing that caused the savings.  Now, if you’ve got a 25% tariff on top of that, you’re looking at serious savings.  

Some airports the price is right to fly and insanely cheap (basically those with at least two professional sports teams or lots of theme parks/casinos). Others, not so much. I was looking to fly from Tampa to Norfolk, Va and was price shopping a trip to Europe at the same time. It cost more to fly to Virginia than…

If I were in the market for a car, I’d buy one of these in a heartbeat, though not for a teen driver. I bought a left over ‘09 G37 for the wife in early ‘10 for a song and it was a great car- quick, comfy and a blast to drive for the price point. We only got rid of it because she went to company cars. I miss that car.

Sure. Drive the JFK death car in Texas.  Nothing creepy about that. 

A lot of the suits did name the RV manufacturers, because they were selling the whole component vehicles to consumers.  But Goodyear was selling the tire to those manufacturers as an OEM tire, even though they knew it was inappropriate for the speed/load that would be necessary for RV usage.

Appreciate the work you’re doing bringing this out, but you have used the term “blow out” here and “tread separation” in other articles.  Which was it for this incident?  A sidewall “blow out” is a vastly different incident than a tread/belt separation.  The G159 was known for having tread separations, not sidewall…

Shoulda worn his brown pants.  

I live in Florida, too, and spent last weekend on the I-4 corridor and in Orlando. I don’t think Miami gets the monopoly on “hell” for the state. It might get the monopoly on the seventh level of hell, but not the whole park.

“Jalopnik writers Andrew Collins and David Tracy died a watery death today after attempting to turbo boost over the Golden Gate Bridge. They apparently thought, after five hours of continuous Knight Rider theme music, that they were in an indestructible car that also had a boat mode, to go along with magnificent…

What part of the Iron Curtain did you grow up behind? ;)

Roswell? Did get left there because Elvis had gone with the Aliens?

There’s SOMEONE who needs the mobility a car- even a beater- will provide (assuming they can afford taxes, license and insurance) and that’s better than walking/bus rides/etc.

Neither is a 5 liter mustang:

Municipalities make $ off of traffic fines. Simple fact. That’s why you see some municipalities try to write more tickets all the time (the US Highway 301 corridor between Jacksonville and Gainesville, FL is a prime example). They’ll fight that suit tooth and nail, especially because they can argue that driving is a…
