“Back when real model cars were made of metal, not this plastic crap.”

Seriously though, I miss Bburago and the like being available right at Walmart. The plastic Revell kits just aren’t as fun for me. I loved putting together the interior of the metal ones that came pre-painted :(

I think you’re spot-on. I bought a new washer and dryer the other day and while I asked a ton of questions about each and looked them through and through, I never thought to go online and research each individual washer and dryer because I didn’t have that much time for it (that I wanted to put towards that particular…

Oh, that’s awesome!!! I’ve seen that but wasn’t sure it was worth it and figured that everything I had heard about reverse gear wouldn’t make the stiffness even worth it. I’ll look into it. Thank you!

What is a torque arm insert? I am only stage 1 on my mk6 but wheel hop is life :(

He is probably talking about 98 RON which is the equivalent of 93 (R+M)/2, the measurement used in the states :) nothing too fancy.

Hadn’t really thought about that :) thanks!

I can appreciate that. No worries.

It may or may not be what I think it is (you don’t have to confirm if you don’t want to) but if it is, I love Mazda Millenia Type S’s. They were one of the best looking cars when new, I think (white on silver wheels), and they are actually one of the cars that started my love of cars.…

What vehicle do you have that doesn’t have any inventory? :(

I appreciate you not humblebragging about it but I’m curious. Haha

Probably but only if your credit is excellent and you have a way to put a nice down payment toward the car. Otherwise, you’ll probably find it harder to get approved for a loan.

Obviously there is no way to look into the future but I would venture to say yes, it will cause a dip in price in new cars at some point. The question is most likely “when” it will do so but I do believe your premonition is spot-on.

That’s the thing that annoys me too. I ran my numbers and realized I can only afford $x a month. You go to talk to someone approving you and they say you can afford $2x a month even after you disclose all that you’re paying. If you’re undisciplined or if you didn’t think to check beforehand, you assume they know what…

No, I get that but I was asking how. Do you just lay cucumber slices over the wrinkles or do you rub them in?

Go on... I’m listening... haha, seriously though?? Am I missing a reference or did I not know something cool??

Probably too late for this to be seen but my only question to the company is:

Hertz, don’t it?

Since you brought up immigrant families, a lot of them still have it drilled into their minds that Mitsubishis are some of the best cars you can get it. Reliable, cheap, and good looking. The Pajero (Montero) did a lot for their image in the rest of the world and it sort of transitions over when they get over here and…

Completely agree and I like your analogy to horseback riding. Enthusiasts will find a way as long as there is fuel around, the only difference might be that less cars are supported so like you said, Chevy Sonics will die quickly but you’ll probably always be able to find parts (with a higher price tag, of course) for…

Historically speaking, anyway :)

Thank you for pointing this out!! I am happy that the internet has made it possible for us to even be having this conversation and to be able to research cars in Florida even if I’m in Pennsylvania. It’s really convenient and you really can search for the perfect car for you. The thing is, in person, sometimes things…

I’m sorry! I wish you well in your quest and if that’s not possible through “natural” means, I hope you consider (and can afford) adoption. Unfortunately, it always seems “women” like these always procreate more than the average bear and spread their less-than-desirable qualities everywhere.

You know, for as much as “your crowd” seems to dislike political talk here on Jalopnik, you sure do love to throw in your “subtle” jabs whenever possible. Unless you have some proof of that or a reference to it, don’t assume that and don’t be such a pile of shit.
