On what I should look out for as I was driving my overheating Golf with sweet smelling steam coming out the tailpipe:

“Check to see if your oil is milky and frothy. If it is, you could have a head leak. If not, it’s something else going on”

I was driving it and troubleshooting various potentially cooling issues for…

and again.

I’m way more interested in these cars than the article. I’d like to know more!

“The gas mileage on this tiny thing is incredible. Coulson can get up to 85 miles per gallon in it” 

Per the video, he’s measured about 45 MPG and describes it as “not great”

I like horsepower and all, but your car is a dream. Every ‘blemish’ in the paint is a work of art.

“When I was a teen I took my dads 94 Mustang on a date. “

Dude, you never date your dad’s car. That’s worse than dating a friend’s ex.

I think? 

I once drove from NH to CA twice in one month, once in an Altima to start my new job and find an apartment, and again in a 25 foot rental truck towing our Grand Caravan on a trailer. The first trip was uneventful. The second trip produced two interesting stories.

We were just an hour or two into our trip on 495…

“ The radiator came from a 500-cc Polaris quad, because it was a good cheap aluminum one that would fit. The water pump came from an Audi S4"

What’s water cooled on a build like this? 

Daly driven.

Hilarious. Not 48 hours ago my son drove around the block for the first time.

In our ‘01 Grand Caravan.

If he puts a dent in it, odds are it’ll just pop one of the older dents back out at this point.

Prius owner checking in. Love the Demon. Carry on.

I know a lot of dating ladies, and universally it seems that “drivers seat, sunglasses on” is the selfie kiss of death.

Nobody fires up OkC going “Alright, gimmie that sweet morning commute action!”

In 1st gear, maybe. I’ve personally conducted the full throttle- full brakes test on several (unremarkable) cars from the 90's. The brakes always win. Not even close.

Toyota Prius. My wife bought a used ‘06 and I expected to hate it.

It was a performance upgrade in every measure over our Legacy Wagon (0-60, skidpad, more power, less weight).

I won’t convince anyone it’s a sporty car, but it’s certainly quicker than the hot hatches of my youth. I did rideshare driving in a stretch of…

Didn’t she play Interstate ‘76?

You never get out of the car.

“It’s certainly not as sexy as your Prius was”

Comment was on my 2001 Grand Caravan, meaning it might be accurate, but it’s still rude.

Mine isn’t that bad, but it certainly resulted in a non-automotive clench moment.

My wife and I were moving from NH to CA, and were driving a rental box truck and towing a trailer with my vintage American muscle (It’s a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan, because that’s how wild my life is). We blew a trailer tire on 495 around…

What would make me a super Prius driver? I’m just a regular Prius driver now, but I’d love the better title to put on my resume.

Also, I’m no more surprised that a lesbian could be a monster than I would be surprised that a left handed person could be a monster.

Not quite the same, but I asked a friend to drive my Golf back for me when I went to pick up a Nissan Pulsar I’d bought (it was $75, don’t judge me!). My friend could drive a manual, so I didn’t anticipate any problems.

As we were pulling out of the parking lot, I could tell he was having some problems getting it into…

Here’s what (some) people don’t understand about electric cars. Electricity isn’t a source of energy, it’s a convenient way to distribute energy.
