I used to daily a Peugeot 505 Turbo S in Denver and there were two Polish brothers who only worked on Peugeots (their garage had an MG logo, too, but I never saw anything positive earth there) - the older brother retired two decades ago and I figure the shop is long gone by now, but they were my fav mechanics ever.

NYC cabbies only lurch crazily. They constantly risk your life, somehow without making much progress at all.

I have the misfortune of owning a 2003 Ford Focus Wagon, and it is absolutely awful (nowhere near as bad as the new EcoSport I drove, but still). Every single time Ford got to make a decision, they made the wrong choice. You can’t get fresh air through the vents because everything passes over the heater. You can’t get…

Rear drums are perfectly okay for most non-racing applications. So little brake power goes to the rear that discs can actually pose a problem - due to underuse, calipers and discs may rust and seize. Right tool for the job and all that.

Well, the stereotypical convicted drunk driver seems to be a white male so I don’t think this is an area of bias. DUI is kind of a slam dunk for cops and DAs (easy to win, popular) so they don’t tend to let people off - unless the offender is law enforcement or cop adjacent, then laws obviously don’t apply.

Is there a ditch + youtuber icon?

1998 HSV SS Group A (not sure what the price is on one of those, though...). Or any of the HDT or HSV Holdens for that matter.

I love the thought of some low income retiree in Nogales, AZ, being given a half-primered G37 with a purple clip-on bumper, fried tires on mismatched alloys, acrylic shift knob, snap-crackle-pop exhaust, and midnight tint on all the windows.

I mean, Bollinger did it, so it must’ve been a good idea.

I think the vending machines were marginal, and best considered a marketing stunt - I think that part actually paid off in terms of publicity.

I don’t mean this as a put-down, but if you want the same thing that everyone else wants, then you will have to pay more for it.

Working as a “driver” in one of these cars sounds absolutely horrible. “I’m just here to train my replacement, don’t mind me.”

I second that crusade. My car sits on 80-profile 12-inch wheels and I love it.

And lower gas prices mean increased use of gas, increased emissions, increased dependence on Venezuela and Saudi, etc. We have to fix how we live, and it seems that people only care about their own personal ease and comfort.

I would starve for a week rather than eat Boston Market, this “dish” just proves me right. Holy moly.

My ex-wife (bless her heart) once had a customer grab her thigh. Her response was to dump a bowl of hot clam chowder in his lap and say “oops, I was so startled when he grabbed my thigh.” Can’t remember if she was fired or not, but at least she gave the company the option of believing her explanation. She was fully…

I am unclear as to why we want lower gas prices so badly. Sure, it’s nice, but low gas prices come with all sorts of problems. Use high gas prices as a method to reduce our reliance on oil and build a sustainable economy.

Was it Ayrton Senna? That would be cool.

Mine is not really embarrassing: Autobianchi A112 Abarth. Everytime my five-six-year old self saw one I would refuse to leave. It’s small, Italian, fast, and packed with attitude.

Ask your hubby about who can build me an enclosure for my 60x30 corner tub
