I recently had a guy doing this daily in the deck where I park at work; had a big new Yukon Denali so he'd either park right in the middle of two "compact car only" spots, or he'd park diagonally across 3-4 standard spots. After about a week I went to youparklikeanasshole.com and printed out a handful of notices and…

I had an uncle who is long since dead now, but back in the day he said he and his friends who grew up in a small, rural town (which I guess is redundant) use to "borrow" people's wagons, take them apart, and then put them back together piece-by-piece on top of the courthouse. He said they also used to steal people's…

I can hear Bob Seger now belting out "Like Barack".

Drifting...you're doing it wrong.

Could the height of the SUV have played a role (as in maybe the driver couldn't see the stroller)? I know some years ago I got sideswiped by someone in a Lincoln Navigator when I was to their right in a Celica, with my driver's door right at their right front tire (so I was technically ahead of the Lincoln), but the…

I confess I routinely surf eBay for at least two of these (one of which I can blame on the "Bundy Bounce").

If it were of the 2006 Rampage concept variety it might not be a bad idea, except of course for the fact that was introduced in 2006, and 2013 seems like a LONG time for something to germinate that hasn't exactly been building up strong demand in the interim. But a fuel efficient mini-Avalanche that seats 4-5 when…

Ray Wert's response? "I'd tap that."

So if he replaced this with a traditional one, would it have reminded the kid of "wood" and still gotten the cabbie in trouble?

My '80 Conquista will smoke like that too, until the Sea Foam burns off.

There is a certain appeal to having a new car you don't have to worry about getting door-dinged or bird-pooped (but that's pretty much the only appeal).

Kind of like fake boobs...you know they're not real, but they can still be fun to watch.

Reminds me of this clip from "Operation Repo". This clip is @ 4 minutes long; if you just want to see the action jump to about the 3-minute mark.

I've ridden the grey dog from Idaho Falls to Knoxville. If it's all you can afford it beats walking, and you definitely meet some interesting folks (with plenty of time to talk). I actually don't remember being too nervous that trip except for the 6p-midnight layover in downtown Denver when a fight broke out. Oh…

It could have floated in from somewhere else. The Arkansas River runs past Tulsa; maybe folks there should check their time capsules.

Goodness Gracious! That looked killer!

We had a '59 Chevy Bel-Air sedan when I was a kid, and as cool as those wing looked in the rear, they tended to collect dust beneath them on the rear quarter panels. We spent a lot of time on dirt roads, and at times it looked like the car was blue w/orange stripes because the of the dust build up beneath the wings. …

Same problem with my 2008 Patriot; granted I'm getting better than 13.5 mpg (closer to 24), but it's only got a 13.5 gallon tank...so even on road trips you can only go @ 300 miles before having to fill up. I can barely get by on a tank a week with my current commute, if I deviate much at all I'm filling up before…

When I was 16 (@ 1982) my aunt had a late '70's Pontiac Firebird Esprit in Jim Rockford gold; occasionally at family reunions she'd let me take a few of my cousins and drive around the neighborhood. I don't remember which engine it had or anything, and I never got to put it through it's paces because I was always…
