Usually the most stupid shit happens when 2 idiots randomly meet each other in public.

Not American, we got an Echo hatchback in the north.

If anything, pull it out just so you can pressure wash it back to some semblance of cleanliness.

I think there was a year or 2 before it was renamed the Yaris where a 3 door existed. I could also be wrong.

You forgot to include, generating revenue by writing traffic tickets.

Reaganomics and trickle down economics. Trickling the middle class down to nothing.

Why the hell isn’t it mandatory for a vehicle’s lights to all come on, front and rear, when the car is in motion. In Canada DRLs on the front are mandatory, not the back. Especially now that cars have gone to LCD dashes, so many morons driving around without their lights on. On many models, the DRLs are less intense…

I’m in Manitoba and every once in a while I wish we didn’t have our government overlord insurance, until I think about how expensive insurance could possibly get otherwise.

People can give Leno grief all they want, but he is probably the single most important modern car enthusiast.

Just a douche in general?

I have to agree with you. A quick clean a couple times a year is more than enough to keep the engine clean enough to easily spot small leaks and touch without getting filthy when you do have to clean it.

The Alero shared a platform with the Grand Am, so it was the bread and butter mid-size. The Intrigue was the next step up and only came with a V6 engine, so it was the not quite mid-size, but not full size model. Then at the top was the aurora.

Mileage is relative. In urban environments is easily supplemented with regenerative braking. We’re still several generations away from an electric car you can take on a proper road trip.

To this day I’m convinced that a majority of “art” is a game of chicken. Who’s going to realize it’s garbage first?

Even to a racing laymen, this definitely sounds like the case. A ‘slow down’ warning, wouldn’t be the same as a ‘SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!’ warning. Maybe she’ll read your comment and get the fine(s) reversed.

Although I’m skeptical of how “high performance” my Continental G-Max’s are, the are definitely not anything close to an all season tire. A few years ago we got a late spring snowfall after I had put them back on. Driving to work was scary as fuck. I have no idea how people actually drive with summer tires when…

If that is actually the case he should have contacted corporate and convinced them to aid in the purchase of new rubber.

The OBD scanner didn’t tell you the O2 sensor was faulty. It gave you a code and you took a chance firing the parts cannon at it.

The Ridgeline and Pilot have the same towing capacity until you add the external transmission cooler.

Man gets accused of inappropriate sexual behavior and is instantly guilty. Woman puts it in writing that she molested her sister and she’s a feminist.
