I will be arranging the 10 best project car plan submissions in an article on The Garage and letting you readers vote on them.
Jack stands are awesome. I have so many, I tend to put them every and anywhere I can. Mostly because I do my wrenching alone 95% of the time. Seriously, when I replaced the clutch in my Camaro last year, I think I had 6 under the car from the time I jacked it to the time the last bolt was tightened.
What a class act. That part about “Vinny Russo” is very funny. Goes to show how professional HPE can be.
It’s like being on a rollercoaster, only you’re in control. Imagine being on the Kingda Ka—one the fastest and tallest rides in the world—where if you turn in a fraction of a second too late you fall off the rails and plummet to a fiery death.
The problem with my wife’s car was that it was hard to find with the features she wanted and in the color she wanted. If it was something that was in stock in 10 dealerships around, I’m sure I would’ve been able to wheel and deal more. As it was, I needed to drive 90 minutes just to get the car she wanted, which was…
I used Truecar on my wife’s new Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. I found a much better deal than any dealership was willing to give me and got some decent incentives.
That doesn’t work either. The last 10 lap segment has been a snoozefest for the last decade. Guy in front at the start takes off and wins. This was a different take on it to try and create dramatic racing.
I had someone begging for my Xbox Live Tag when I started up my Xbox One for the first time. I hadn’t used Xbox in over a year and a half. He made me an offer I couldn’t refuse to give it up. Glad I didn’t wait.
Fantastic. Not nearly as close as the Boston race was to me, but maybe I can bring the camper and make a weekend of it.
That Colorado with wings will look cool as I drive down the highway. The hood on the new twins has “excessive flex” at highway speed, so the wings will appear to flap.
The fact of the matter is, body-on-frame and unibody both have their advantages and disadvantages. And in the mid-size truck market, maybe Honda can prove that a unibody truck is just as capable as the old guard BOF setup. But they are going to have to convince the truck driving public of that and sell a ton of these…
Interesting. At least Toyota took care of you.
I would give it 15 years. I see a lot of older GM/Ford/Dodge work vans still roaming around. I’d like to see the long term as to how well these unibody equivalent vans do. Not to say that they will/won’t hold up, I’d just like to see how that shapes up.
Everyone’s experience will probably be different there. My 04' Canyon with 240k of New England miles had zero frame issues, and the body held up very well except for the back of one of the rocker panels. And if I remember correctly, your 4Runner was recalled for frame issues, so that probably isn’t a good indicator...
It’s irrational, I know. But I feel like I’m old school. I live in the woods, so it’s not inconceivable that I do occasionally get on dirt roads and in offroad conditions. I have snow in my area a decent amount of time in the winter, but I don’t drive outside of my vehicle’s capability and haven’t had any issues in…
Sorry, should have said “Towing” Capability. Payload is essentially the same between the two (and the Ridgeline has more cargo room).
I feel you. Went from a first gen GMC Canyon to a new Colorado, and the bed is much higher, especially if you trying to load from the sides. Even the step in and out from the driver’s seat is a huge difference. I instantly regretted not getting one with step bars pre-installed.
The Ridgeline is 14 inches shorter than the smallest Chevy Silverado at 210 inches long on a wheelbase of 125.2 inches. It’s about 1 inch skinner than an F-150, and has a truck bed volume of 33.9 cubic feet plus 7.3 cubic feet in the “In-Bed Trunk.”
