What use is at this point?

For all the shit he takes for supposedly being a diva, focusing on stuff aside from his driving, for being black, for being whatever, there really should be no argument that he has singlehandedly brought the fight to end racism and bring equality to the forefront in markets that view F1, and that he has done a lot to…

What is the exact form of bullying that you think would work on either of them? I see a lot of people babbling on about how Schumer should do something or Biden should do something and I’m not clear what that is.

Everyone has a car like that. Some random car that only had meaning to that one person. For me, if I could find my grandmother’s ’87 Sable, “White Night” monochrome package preferred, I’d be on it like white on rice.

Might have been cheaper to use olive oil over there! Although maybe a Volvo would do better with fish oil.

I’ll show you one better. K&N puts a 17mm “nut” on the end of theirs for easy removal with a socket and ratchet.

There’s a reason those things are called little orange cans of death.  If you need extra grip, just grab a piece of sandpaper; that’ll get an oil filter right off.

There was a period where Fram filters just used to shred themselves into oblivion, sending plastic and metal shrapnel into the engine and wiping out critical components. Sadly, I saw this a lot when Fram cut our fleet parts supplier “the deal of a lifetime”. Unsurprisingly, they wouldn’t foot the bill for all the…

They spent all the money on grippy material so that’s why their end caps are cardboard and their bypass valves are plastic, instead of metal like virtually every other brand.

The lowest mileage used car is best. This is both in normal car shopping and in collector car shopping.

Old cars are safer.

I live in a climate with extreme cold, snow and lately in summer, extreme heat. That doesn’t mean that it’s 24/7/365 shitty. More than half the year is great. And when you live in a place with lots of snow and cold weather, you tend to own clothes for that weather.

“Cars are the best way to ___________.”

But.... Actual Statistics show that the vast majority of American vehicles are worse that the industry average. http://www.dashboard-light.com/

HP/L means a lot to me. The higher this number the smaller an engine I need to lug around. Weight is the enemy of EVERYTHING in a car.

People get rid of their M5s for all sorts of dumb reasons... 

i would love to get rid of texas.  we can become south wisconsin as long as they bring down them curds.  and i really liked it up there when i visited last month.  i even though about applying to work at the new haribo factory.  drowning in gummy bears and cheese curds seems like a good way to live my 40s. 

I nominate Missouri

Can we get rid of Texas and Florida while we’re at it?
