So, my wife has a 100 mile round trip commute every day, so I can state with some pretty good certainty that the 1st generation Insight is in fact, the right answer. She bought it new in 2000 and 14 years later, there has never been a serious issue. Averages about 60 MPG (it has gone down as it has gotten older and…

To say that because FLW dislike organized religion so therefore he put little effort into designing the chapel, seems a little...un-informed. Wright designed at least 4 churches (Unity Temple being one of the most famous) well as 1 synagogue, that I can think of, over the course of his career.

Are you sure that was a BMW? It was parked completely within the lines.

As a kid, my dad would often take me to Holbert Porsche (now Porsche of Bucks County) to see Al's Lowenbrau 962.

I always liked how Ford's website told you how much extra per month a particular option would cost. I don't know if there are other's that do that, but I think it is a good tool to help identify which options someone really needs and how it works on a specific budget.

As much as I would love a modern Ecto-1 to be a CTS-V wagon, it just wouldn't work. There is clearly not enough cargo space to hold Proton Packs, Ecto Goggles, and PKE Meters for a full crew of four, as well as necessary traps, and whatever new technology Egon would have come up with before his untimely death. An…

Go for it We have had one in our house since it was new: a 2000 that we have put over 260,000 miles on. They are fun (with a 5 speed that hits 62 in 2nd), can easily keep up with traffic, and forces you to become engaged in how you drive. And you can transport a surprising amount of stuff, we have fit 2 snowboards…

The most amazing thing I have just learned is that there is a dealer for these within a 20 minute drive from where I live! C'mon Powerball!!!

I love how afterwards, everyone kind of just saunters away from the train. I can just imagine them thinking en masse, "Well, that wasn't as bad as the cruise ship we had to lift yesterday."

This was the first car I thought of.

A few months back I was kicking around the idea of picking up a used Mazda5 as an extra car to replace an aging SUV. I found one in the Philadelphia area and since I was going to be travelling there over Easter, I called up the dealer to get some information. It was a 2006 with a standard transmission and over 100k…

I couldn't begin to imagine how many Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars I had as a kid and now that I have kids of my own, I love that I get to buy and play with them again.

You are right, I have recently been looking at the Crosstrek and am surprised as to how little the hybrid model improves the MPGs, it is like they didn't even try and it is just to appease a dedicated sect of buyers. I can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Subaru or a Prius in Upstate NY, create a mash-up of the…

My grandmother did as well. Man that pissed her off!

We are the same way, each of our cars have two child seats so we don't have to move them around. However, last week I had to move the kid's seats from my car to my mother's TL, which was a complete PITA. After I got around the TL's severely sloping C-piller, I found the rear seats are at such an angle that I had to…

The two-liter, four-cylinder supercharged and turbocharged petrol engine powering the front wheels gets help from an 80 hp electric motor sending power to the rear wheels. For city cruising, it has an all-electric range of around 25 miles, turning the XC90 into an emission-free rear-wheel drive SUV.

I love my kids, however the best car for a dad would be a car that allows for no car seats or trunk space for a diaper bag. Dads need some alone time, too...and this looks more fun than the trip to a spa that mom takes.

Thanks!

Where is the video from the GoPro mounted on the roof?

A Subaru Forester is the only car I have see literally break a Hurst Tool, a.k.a. Jaws of Life. Hopefully Subaru is still protecting its passengers with the same type of compartment reinforcement. This article from Firehouse Magazine is a little old (2005), but it explains the system: http://moojohn.com/subaru/extract…
