Why did you do this to me? I even read it in a nasal voice for full effect.

The worst part is that since they are on an island, there are only so few roads that they can use to get the vehicles out of state.

As a truck this thing is, as the saying goes, as useless as tits on a bull moose. Still seems like a fair price for what it is. NP

Was that post autobiographical? Maybe, a gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell, nevertheless thank you Michelle for that random act of kindness.

“Hey boss, I thought you said he was dead?”
“No, what I said was he sleeps with the...you know what nevermind.”

The “Coochie Cooler” AC vent located beneath the steering wheel on GM vehicles from the 70's.  We may not have been rich but at least our junk was comfortable in the summer.  

This has also been a long-running problem in the online motorcycle space. There are a few forums such as ADVRider and XLForum that have maintained their readership likely by enveloping other dying forums but some of the best that I have been a part of over the last 20 years of internet use have trickled to a near…

Everyone seems to have forgotten his riveting performance as “Old Man Talks to a Chair” during the 2012 Republican National Convention. Definitely on the Must-See list.

Modern ISO standards in manufacturing mean that not only is the assembly of every individual part of cars is better, but tracking of that assembly to account for errors is also better. This means errors are found before they make it out to the sales floor meaning fewer “lemons”. Fewer, but not Zero. This means greater…

I wish I had your confidence in regards to parts availability. Again, federal mandates force manuf’s to provide spares for 10 years, and consumable parts like sensors and pumps is one thing considering the utilization lifespan of an engine/transmission combo but a proprietary “styled” part like a headlight or in-dash v…

This works until the vehicle is more than 10 years old and manufacturers are no longer federally mandated to produce replacement parts for said vehicles and then those expensive parts become obsolete and nearly impossible to find.  

Last car loan I had started in 2016 so it’s been a while, but I was told at the time the financing cutoff was 8 years old and/or 120,000 miles.

$22k? Man that Rad-Adjustment is a real and unpleasant thing.

In my family we have 5 vehicles, 4 of which are over 200,000 miles and I would not hesitate to hop in any of them and cross the country in a heartbeat.  The other one is my wife’s DD an 06 Camry that is about to hit 190k.  Maintenance on Japanese cars (and my wife’s TJ Wrangler) is super easy and worth a little…

My dad bought a C280 new off the lot in 1996, drove it for 200,000 but finally got tired of putting $2-3000 into it every year so he sold it to my daughter who drove it another 50k then sold it to my son who got maybe 20k until through the unfortunate neglect of the two of them it died in the driveway, never to run…

Number 1 most annoying car myth that I hear even in this, the year 2021:

My point is that given the physical size and strength of the chassis of a typical class C RV there would be plenty of room for more batteries to extend the range beyond 56 miles. I don’t understand why they would utilize such a small battery and assume the ICE would make up for it, just put a proper engine in it at…

OK while I have thoroughly enjoyed the few Guzzi’s that I have been lucky enough to ride, I’ve never really felt a lot of desire for one but wow looking at that green/silver V100? Yeah, my thing moved.

I’m not surprised by this, my guesstimation is based on the relative difference in scale between motorcycle engines which I am way more familiar with than automobile/truck engines.

I mean, you are deleting 700-900 lbs for a fully outfitted engine/transmission & 12v batteries plus the regular genset and house batteries would round that number out to an even 1k of weight savings and on top of that eliminating the fuel tank and a full load of fuel, not certain how the weight balance would be…
