Yup, this right here is a feeling I get sometimes with my car. It’s a little brash, a little unconventional and temperamental at times when you’re trying your best to not attract any attention.

Pulling out of my parking space at Kohl’s, my Firebird making all sorts of cacophony out of the free flowing exhaust, and a…

I’m also very happy to announce that with this, Maggie is going to be one of Jalopnik’s regular columnists. She spends most of her time writing novels but expect to see a lot more of her writing here soon!

Here you go, here are some other good ones:

I juuuuust watched this 45 min vid and talk from Dr. John Hinds about the various dangers of riding in a place like Isle of Man. Its an amazing talk and the big punchline is that Dr Hinds passed last year due to a bike related incident. HIGHLY recommended.

Wrist pin and snap wring.

I wounder how many of of them were owned by the perpertrator of the crime and not stollen from a law abiding citizen that did not have their property returned to them.

My father works in Kokomo, IN, and he says you still see variations of this outside mechanics shops along with a sign that says “no foreign cars accepted” or something like that.

And many of the parts for American cars are made in Canada or Mexico, and assembled in the states.

It may have been fans of Pike’s Peak choosing that name.

yup. the old slushbox is one tough bird if designed right.

You read my mind.

Kidding. Hehe. I promise I won’t buy any more.

Okay, maybe just one.

Kidding.

Unless it’s a 2-door.

Joking.

But what if it’s a 5-speed?

Snap out of it, DT!

I may be profoundly immature but, it does sound like you are talking about sticking your pee-pee in the gas tank.

VW tried a software update earlier last year for AdBlue-equipped models and it didn’t work.

But I thought the urea-injected vehicles were relatively easy to fix via software and perhaps modest hardware?

Somewhere a bearded man is yelling at his friends, “THAT 230K MILE TDI... NOT SUCH A BAD INVESTMENT NOW!!!”

All that to save $335 per car by not using urea injection.

there is way more to the story. they changed the test in 2015 and everyone that used to do well now does poorly except for ford. which happened to released a redesigned truck in 2015. look at the test data for the 2014 f150 with the previous test compared to other 2014 trucks. then look at all the 2015 data. ford did…

This may end up being the best investment of any car posted yet.

I googled Red Tube to see if I could get one for my VW. Couldn’t find car parts even after checking most of the site.

I was once hard up and bought a well worn but sound 1972 2002 for $800. Kakhi colour, the Sahara version with the bigger radiator. Which was a fair price in those days, probably 1981, it was the cheapest thing on the lot. The odometer- “I didn’t notice that, must have just happened”- was broken.
