This is one of those cars that are kinda fun to look at but awful to drive. ND for me. He should try to sell it to one of those companies in Hollywood that rent cars for TV shows and movies. 

As someone who’s been riding for 40+ years (and can remember seeing these in the showroom new) this is a bike you run away from. “Needs a tune-up” is motorcycle seller code for “doesn’t run well and I don’t know why”. Anything that’s broken or missing is gonna be a chore to replace. This is a $1500 project bike,

I think the McLaren F1 is the apex of 90s sports cars, but the best attainable car would be the Mazda RX-7, 3rd Gen. Not the fastest, but what a beauty.

I lived in the Baltimore area for years, and there wasn’t enough money in the world to get me to drive across the Key Bridge. I gladly spent the extra time taking the tunnel or going around on 695. I was just afraid of tall bridges, not a ship collision. Until now.

I was wondering why the Buick GMC store in my small town is now a GMC Truck store. Guess that explains it.

This weekend we drove my GF’s new Mercedes GLA250 to Chicago. Neither one of us could figure out how to simply search for radio stations. There’s no tuning knob of course and the “arrows” on the screen would only jump from preset to preset. Finally gave up and put on Apple CarPlay.

“There are many manufacturers today that don’t have CarPlay,” GM CFO Paul Jacobson said on Yahoo Finance Live.

We were required to install a special - and very expensive - lift to service the many, many Hummers we’ll be selling.

The only people who are leasing from me now are the ones who have lots of equity in their current lease - that’s what is taking the place of the non-existent factory incentives. And their payments are still noticeably higher than before.

Yes. “Thanks for your purchase, sir! The nearest charger is (checks phone) at 4th and Main, about 12 miles down the road. You’ve got 5% charge, should be no problem!”

Disagree. Drove all over the Southwest in a rental Sebring soft top years ago. It was quiet enough, rain proof and wonderful with the top down. Only downside was rear visibility in the city with the top up.

Doesn’t the SRX have the Yamaha kick start system? Pull in the decompression lever on the left grip, move the kick start lever until the little window on the top of the engine turns white/silver, then kick.

They lost me with the pick holders in the seat. I don’t play guitar but my friends that do would be horrified. Plus, wouldn’t they dig into a passenger’s leg? Suppose I need to be somewhere in a hurry, I have to take a passenger, and I need my guitar picks when I get there? It’s not like I can carry them in my pocket

Wisconsin: Nobody passes anybody. Got a farm tractor going 20 mph on a deserted two lane country road? Let’s stack up ten cars deep and wait until he turns into a cornfield a few miles down the road. Passing him would just be rude. 

Officer, that alignment rack was in the house when I bought it, I swear!

I sold these until recently and it made my heart sink every time I showed one and the customer said “Oh, no, my mom drove a wagon. I could never...”. Then they want to drive an SUV - which is just a wagon with bigger wheels and tires and worse fuel mileage.

I will as soon as they build one that everyone can drive. I owned a 1991 Miata that I sold after a few weeks because it was impossible for a 6' 3" guy to drive comfortably. I recently sat in a 2018 and it was almost as bad - I still can’t lift my foot straight off the clutch without hitting the wheel with my knee.

I have a friend who is a Porsche enthusiast. He owns older ones that have been hot-rodded. When he’s behind the wheel he turns into a 12 year old. Every sporty car on the road is a challenge. Impromptu drag races against teenagers in Mustangs are his specialty. I’ve been with him when he ran it up to 150 on a suburban

There’s only one reason to get a car with a gated shifter: you can unscrew the lame shift knob and put on something cool. Like a skull. Or a dagger handle. There are infinite possibilities...

1968 Plymouth Fury III Station Wagon. (Not this particular one). My mom’s. I learned to drive in it, but bought my own car as soon as I got my license.
