Yes. And it’s kinda sad because I’ve probably known a dozen or more women involved in auto racing/enthusiast community who have considerably more knowledge than she does. I seriously believe that “Elizabeth Brownell” is just a writing persona by somebody pretending to be an auto journalist; she’s shown time and time…

Read some of her other articles; many of them are incorrect, un-researched and un-edited hogwash as well. Since nobody at G/O Media seems to care about her posting a bald-face fallacy, then I guess it’s up to people like me to do it. So, let me be clear in my assertation:

That type of heater used to be a lot more common before WWII, and it’s just that VW was probably the last car sold with a exhaust heater. Back in the 1920's, these were popularly called “muffler heaters”, and could be custom-installed on almost any car. Back in those days, many cars were sold without any heater at…

Wow, once again, a lack of editing, on a piece written by a ‘hack’ journalist. So, Margaret was born in 1838, and in her 20's noticed that :

I consider all these rideshare apps (as well as things like AirB&B) to be nothing more than a convenient way to avoid regulation. So, instead of dealing with a REGULATED means of transportation (i.e., a taxi), instead you will throw caution to the wind and use a sketchy app, where the driver may or may not be the one…

Gee, I’d have to think about that; 1961.....lots of American iron with tailfins, British sports cars which always broke down, expensive Mercedes cars and.....Volkswagens. Was the type III available in Europe in 1961? I once owned a 1961 Ford F100 pickup, and it was pretty crude....

I worked for one of the big 3 (or maybe big 5) dry van companies in the early-mid 90's. We had a few trailers which were insulated, with vent doors front and rear, which we called “potato trailers’ because these were specially requested for loads of potatoes we used to haul out of Idaho. When it wasn’t harvest season,…

Perhaps I’m missing something here? They require ships passing through the Suez to employ River Pilots, and it seems that said River Pilots were in charge of the tiller when they wedged it sideways. So......how is that Evergreen’s problem?

Gee, maybe it’s a fake? I’ll put in in a folder with the one about a guy power-washing his interior, and the 3 or 4 different videos of women pouring motor oil over the tops of their engines...

Actually, my doctor takes my MASS in kg......

I remember that, back in the mid-70's, Consumer Reports was VEHEMENTLY opposed to square headlights; same as when ‘aero’ headlights first appeared on a Lincoln coupe in 1983. But, what a lot of people forget is that sealed-beam lights were TERRIBLE! If you had a ‘sporty’ car back in those days, probably the first mod…

“weighs just 4 pounds (1.8 kg) and stands a modest 1.6 feet (0.46 meters) tall. Of course, these are their Earth weights; the vehicles are 62% lighter on Mars owing to the lower gravity.....”

You may see a woman with psychiatric issues, but do you know what I see? A future member of Congress!!!

You mean “cofeve”???

So, is this vehicle electric or gas? Your article doesn’t make it clear, and frankly, I don’t keep tabs on Chinese manufacturers..

Keep in mind, a company transporting exotic cars isn’t going to hire the sorts of mouth-breathers that Swift hires, so don’t automatically assume it was the driver’s fault. I assume the driver has years of experience, and probably owns at least the tractor.

Does that mean they can now officially change the name to “Rotus”?

Years ago I was driving cab, and there were a few independent and drivers at other companies who had been stealing some of our radio calls. Some of them retaliated with pranks, so we did too. I had my driver’s door handle axle-greased, another driver had a potato bunged-up his tailpipe, etc. I myself developed a…

Have you seen the Itchy Boots youtube videos? She took her Royal Enfield across the Himalaya, up 5000m high mountain passes, then back all the way to the Netherlands. Last year, she was half-way through riding across South America when Covid hit, but last summer she managed to tour Iceland and Scandinavia before…

Former OTR driver here: I’ve known a couple of guys who got fired from driving a semi; one for having too many accidents, and one for DWI (in his car). Neither could find OTR work afterward, and both ended up driving 10-wheel dumps. So, take that as one confirmation. Also, driving dump pays only about half of what…
