Why has no one swapped the current turbo 4 into one of these third gens? it’d be a hell of a sleeper and a terror on an autocross course with the right suspension.

It must be crippling to have the level of insecurity it takes to think a spouse’s old phone reflects poorly on yourself.

I see everyone’s fixated on the vanilla frosties and booked hours. I’m offended that they used his car to drive in a non-testing manner. I was at a red light when a Mustang GT swooped into the intersection and drifted right into the curb. Wheel bent a few degrees and still driveable. A Ford technician steps out, goes

I’ll give you your points regarding overcharging/pricing/etc.

I keep waiting for the day when I’ll have to stop working hard at having fun and get a real job. Luckily, today is not that day.

GET A REAL JOB!!!

These 1980s cars are amazing. Check them all out in these video overviews.

A guy runs a siding sales business. He drives around selling siding to folks.

The commodore has been a best-seller in Australia for decades. The problem is that GM only ever half-ass committed to it here. If they adopted the RWD platform for the remainder of their car lineup, things might have turned out differently.

I’ve had a fully loaded one for 3 months (as a rental but still) and I think it’s a great car for what it is: big, comfortable, not too fancy and no pretensions of being sporty, but the thing just eats miles and is nice to hop into after a long day. I may buy one.

Note to self, if wife brings home an Escape or Outlander Sport it may be a sign I have outlived my usefulness.

Good work! And mow for another quarter million miles or so :)

In an era of the Japanese building their unbreakable engine, some engineer was hit by a bus and an accountant decided on plastic timing chain guides....

  1. Setting aside for a moment how blasphemous it would be to fill a brand-new Porsche with grubby, grimy little larva-people, is it actually feasible as a family-hauler?

Holy crap this is an awesome GIF!!! Trunk-mounted helium balloons should be a feature on all cars. It’s almost like - you just hit me but lets relax and have a laugh with my festive balloons.
