I've seen these selling with very low mileage from the mid 20s to the low 30s. Most have had 20-30k miles on them, but 12k miles isn't worth the premium on this one.

Heaters don't work as well, and if I'm not mistaken - the engine components get hotter than with a water cooled motor, so tolerances are wider to allow for thermal expansion. It's also more dififcult to regulate engine temperature, so if tolerances are set to allow the engine to run at it's hottest extreme, they're…

Most Europeans aren't doing that on a Harley. I daily ride a 200cc Honda Twinstar, and am confident that I could do that without much difficulty (maybe a few practice runs to actually figure out where I need to go). I also have a 700cc V4 shaft-drive Honda and am not sure I could ever maneuver this course on it, much…

While the diesel Cruze probably doesn't make much sense over the eco financially, it should be quite a bit faster and last a lot longer.

Saw one of those in a restaurant parking lot a few weeks ago.... damn Texans.

The areas around Houston all use "center islands," except they're continuous with the occasional break to turn (usually there aren't enough of these, and you need to perilously make a u-turn across 2 lanes of traffic). They're fantastic for causing both accidents and congestion!

I agree - the Mustang is one of the few cars I'd consider buying new right now (although, they really need to get those transmission issues sorted). Not only do I not care for the exterior on the new Camaro, but I sat in one, couldn't see out of it, was uncomfortable and everything about it felt cheap. The Cruze…

Huh, they also say that it's only a 5 seater, but still keep calling it a compact minivan...

I had one of those too. I'd always step on it to put the top back down. That lasted about 5 times...

My favorite RC car ever was the Tyco Wild Thing. I used to drift that thing as a kid, and I ended up wearing down the rear tires to slicks and breaking one of the rear "shocks" (pretty sure it was just a spring).

Well, at least it looks like the main pipe is cpvc, although the elbows look like the regular stuff. Doesn't he know you're supposed to use bulk radiator hose? (father in law used that to plumb his sink)

I think he's saying that wagons aren't nearly as good as SUVs and don't have nearly as much in the way of capabilities. What you're saying is that most SUV owning people don't actually need those additional capabilities and, as I live in urban Texas, I can certainly agree with you based on what I see on a daily basis…

A wagon isn't nearly as bad, however I will side with you and say the X-type was a shameful car - not because of it's Ford heritage, but rather because it had a transverse engine, and a V6 at that!

Oh god, please do not let Jaguar make an SUV / Crossover. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

No, I completely understand what they're doing, but it seems like an awfully excessive loss in power output that's quite unnecessary and is avoided on the other SKYACTIVE engine that's going into production.

Well, the 2.0L SKYACTIVE is making 77.5 HP / L, so I'm not sure why they would need to either dramatically reduce volumetric efficiency or redline. Yes, your 1.3L sportbike has a cam profile and intake that is wildly inefficient at lower RPM and is optimized for flow at very high air velocities, but you're talking…

It's also surprising that with a 14:1 CR and direct cylinder fuel injection, they're still only managing 64 hp / liter. Still, if they bring a subcompact hatch over to the US that manages to score over 60 mpg on the EPA's highway test cycle, I guarantee I will buy it.

Adams Probe 16, also known as that car in Clockwork Orange

Yeah, I saw one on my way to work the other day. I couldn't see any tail-pipes from the back, but it's got to have one somewhere
