Mid 90's VW automatic transmissions had “Lifetime” fluid within them. However like all automotive chemicals it does wear out and needs to be replaced, except the transmission is sealed so there isn’t a way to do so. There are however small flush caps pressed into a boss on the top and bottom that, if you carefully…

Nice. I am super happy to see H-D come out with a proper redesign of the Sportster. Power and weight are much better balanced for being a large displacement machine, it sounds like it can handle as well as the old pre-dogbone Evo Sportsters of the 90's, and looks fantastic. I had hoped that it would’ve been priced…

Right, any Western market car these days is at least relatively safe, especially compared to the standards we all managed to survive back in the 70's & 80's.

Oh I was a teenager when the OG Samurai hit the market and my parents took my sisters and I for a test drive in one because both my sisters were of driving age and I was getting close so this would’ve been our car to share. Then the Consumer Reports smear happened and we ended up with a Plymouth Reliant followed 2 year…

OK that’s neat, this is essentially a really tall roller coaster then.  Guess he got a really good look at the heat dome over the US West?  

Makes one wonder then, if Suzuki hadn’t unceremoniously exited the US market, would these still be available today or would it just be weird crossovers and small sedans like their final years? I thought these also couldn’t meet crash test requirements in the US? I mean, not terribly practical for daily use but a damn…

Gotta find a Subaru Brumby/Brat in a junkyard and snag them out of there.

Had to face this problem once while living in Houston and pulled into a roadside gas station, but everyone else did the same. So while they all crowded bumper to bumper under the awning hanging over the gas pumps and still got pelted by slashing hail, I pulled into the car wash and was covered on all sides. I felt…

Other driver’s have their car’s Nurburgring times, some have VTEC and when it kicks in, we in the ‘Yota fandom have our mileage-brags. Do your thing and let us have the things that make us happy. FWIW my 4R has a CD player, and the entire sound system does not work. 8-)

Don’t do that, don’t call him Theodore because now all I can here is TED THEODORE NUGENT and that’s an affront to good 80's cinema.

Did the cops and unions ever even acknowledge that they were subsequently immune to COVID after drinking said bleach? I mean, c’mon, silver lining there!

When he’s in the water does he get wet, or does the water get him instead?

My 08 4-Runner got hit by a hit-and-run driver who luckily was captured on a neighbor’s porch camera so while it is getting repaired and the insurance company is chasing them down, I have been driving a rented ‘20 Grand Cherokee and TBH as much as I love my old 4R this GC has me wondering about trading it in for one.…

Let’s see, Bradley just bought an old ambulance and also has a vintage Scamp travel trailer. Couple that with him possibly “influencing” H-D into hitting a particular price point with the 2nd Gen Livewire...can we call him a proper influencer now?

This had Florida written all over it, Miami/Ft Lauderdale to be specific. 

I love this if for no better reason than to build a viewing deck on the roof making it even higher, then parking it in the infield at Daytona or Talledega as close to the track as possible so the people parked beside me sitting on top of their RVs still can’t see shit. 

Looking at it again and the crap steelies are killing the visual appeal, also. They are better than whatever Tire-Kingdom-low-profile-garbage rims people seem to be putting on vintage cars these days, maybe its because they make the car look too much like my son’s rust-bucket red ‘98 Mitsu Mirage. I keep telling him…

Short money, seems to be mechanically sorted, I’ll give it the NP thumbs up from here. Paint looks like hammered sh!t though, not bad quality mind you just doesn’t quite fit the car for some reason. Would probably be a fun car to own for a season just to be able to say “Oh yeah I used to have a vintage Triumph, I am…

This is how most 911 call centers work, audio from calls are archived for 6 mos - 1 year, then a digital transcript is kept on record indefinitely as its a much smaller file. If a call is related to a criminal case, its immediately subpoenaed by prosecutors and DAs anyway and then long term audio file storage becomes…

When I was a kid growing up in the 79's our local Sears sold go-karts and motorcycles. Legit street-legal bikes and big gas-engined karts, not the little rinky-dink 1.5hp things they have now. Stores back then were way more broad in scope. I watched Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure with my daughters and they…
