We just purchased a Telluride a month ago. Our old car died and my wife wanted a three row SUV to haul the kids. We didn’t even consider a Kia till we started looking at the reviews. The Honda Pilot was our top contender. A test drive changed all that and my wife liked the Kia the best. Then it became about finding…

That transmission was cranked out in about the last 45 minutes they were even building them. That specific model was discontinued in the next model year, after having been installed for about five or six years. By the time this one was made, its little hassles had been pretty much sorted. Bolted behind the stout but…

Rogue is the car people buy when they’ve given up on everything except their kids. Well, kids and the eventual prospect of those kids moving out and having something resembling retirement.

My Rental Car Review after driving 600 miles in a Nissan Rouge: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I didn’t hate it, but I also didn’t like it. I was comfortable, but not extraordinarily so. It wasn’t quick, but not so slow that I took notice. It’s not a very handsome car, but not so ugly that I really cared. It handled about as well as any…

The Holocaust is history, yet we don’t fetishize the Nazi flag. (Yes, I went there - the Atlantic slave trade killed more people than the Holocaust did.) We can remember things with glorifying them.

Well, here’s the thing about ignorant white trash: they’re generally really stupid people.

what still baffles me is how these people call themselves real “American patriots” but show it by flying a flag of literal treason.

No state requires them for motorcycles, so that can’t be that important.

Every time I drive past a Gen-1 X-5, all I think is, that design did NOT age well... and I liked it at the time. 

Me too, but focus groups kept saying that type of design was boring and evolutionary and reached its final destination with the sublime E38 7-series, thus Bangle was tasked with tearing it all down, which he did. BMW design has been hit or miss since.

THE LIBRULS ARR CONTINUING THERE WARS ON UR FREEDOMS! FRONT LICENSE PLATES ARE BARRACK OSAMA’S DEEP STATE TRACKING SYSTEM! ONLY KING TRUMP CAN SAVE US FROM THIS TERRIBLE OPPRESSION! BENGAZI!

Fair enough, but i’ll take my chances.

The weird thing is I actually prefer the plate to the no-plate on that particular car since it breaks up the ghastly grille.

Whew boy, at first glance, this is a reasonable price for a 17-year old Jag with reasonable performance. Then you remember, it is a 17-year old Jag. Crack Pipe.

People have been building Eleanor replicas for two decades. Even the idea of building one on a modern Mustang chassis has already been done. Granted, it’s a different color, but the body kit design is pretty obviously Eleanor-based.

Eleanor’s likeness is also trademarked, so they do have to defend it. Taking a shot in the dark, I assume the company threatened to sue. And instead of fighting it in court, they settled out of court and part of the settlement was the Car being surrendered. Just a guess, and I’m not a lawyer

Lukewarm take: The remake is a better movie than the original. The original has one thing going for it and that’s an amazing chase scene and... that’s it.

For $270,000 you could buy 4 new GT350's and have enough money left over to rent a race track for 1 weekend a year for the next several years for an annual racing party.

Not related, but sending good vibes your way given the current scenario at your employer.
