Point 1: Fuck HOAs in their dictatorial control freak faces
Point 2: The ingenuity and generosity of the real American people is the true wealth of the nation. I applaud this initiative with RVs and protecting our medical staff. I’d offer one to the cause if I had one to give.

I would actually like to drive this and see how the hybrid drive train behaves. Back in 2013, I had to turn in my Dodge Avenger government lease for a hybrid. I was asked to accompany our logistics contractor to pick them up at a port in Maine and bring them back to Massachusetts. We were not able to get enough bodies…

Mustang Mach 1E. Watch. It will be this. 

The Maserati GT MC Stradale is the only car that has a chance of convincing me to walk away from an Aston Martin DBS. This is in the parallel universe where my wretched poverty abates long enough to step up from a Mitsubishi Colt. 

the worst part about congress is that, not only do they control the purse, they control their own paychecks. I want to fire all of them and replace them with poor people. At least poor people can balance a checkbook (primarily because they have to if they want to survive).

I just wish an independent candidate and movement could really gain some traction in this country. I’m so tired of two extraordinarily corrupt parties having complete control, and spending all their time denying each other any progress whatsoever because party loyalty and lining their pockets is more important than…

I applaud the efforts of America’s automakers in these difficult times. GM making masks, FCA and Ford making ventilators. It’s a reassuring feeling for a professional cynic like myself to see noble efforts of this sort. Although I am looking forward to the very interesting headlines:

“GM is recalling all face masks…

yes. It’s quite a nice collection. 

I actually did an experiment with one of these a few years back when a colleague of mine deployed for 6 months. I plugged it in at my home every night and drove to work with it every day for a month. I lived about 12 miles from work at the time. I don’t think the gas engine came on more than twice that entire month,…

This is an awful lot of work for an april fools joke. 

If any of you happen to have Powerstrokes, Cummins, or Duramax, Idling will definitely not be sufficient to restore a charge. In these unique cases, if you can’t use a battery maintainer, or you don’t have a charger then you will need to set the high idle around 2000 rpm to make any difference. It will likely still…

it’s a drop top mustang, i presume.

I’m just glad Aston isn’t building the respirators. As we all know, hand made in England is just another way of saying, the hoses will fall off. 

I genuinely love that. having the steering wheel controls that do the same thing are fun, but a 65 Imperial with such a luxury? Yes please! 

I’m not surprised that Alfa had all that room to fit in those extra controls since they decided that the throttle, brake and clutch needed to be roughly 2mm wide, 1mm apart, and all the way to the right in the passenger floorboard for whatever reason. I couldn’t drive the 147 without hitting the brake and clutch at…

My money is on Packard, Studebaker, Yugo, Peugeot, Renault, Hudson, Crosley, AMC, Mercury, Plymouth, AMC, Saturn, Saab, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Eagle, Merkur, Scion, Sterling, Geo, Suzuki and Isuzu. RIP YUGO. 

Technically, Willys didn’t win the WWII design competition either. American Bantam had the winning design, but since they couldn’t produce them in the numbers requested by the US Army, the designs were handed over to both Willys and Ford to build them. Willys made the MB series, and Ford made the GPW series. It’s kind…

It’s a bit too Tiburon. If i’m going R-spec, it had better be a Jaguar. I want my sporty luxury coupes to overheat and live in the shop like a proper grand tourer. 

I don’t find this car particularly good looking. If anything, I think it still kind of blends in to the crowd a bit. There is no mistaking that massive, rather gaudy grill, but I still look at it and think you could just stick any badge on it. I kind of wish Korea had gotten to have their own Virgil Exner/Elwood Engel…

How is New Mexico these days? I haven’t been back there in a few years, but my souvenir when leaving was my 4th cracked windshield.
