Only a Nazgul can call another Nazgul, Nazgul.

Recently sold an old Poulan 42" rider to a guy who was planning to make a racing mower out of it and I kicked myself for not even thinking about it myself. This looks like wicked good fun.

I would agree in principle about the post-120k-mile German sedans but reality is that there is a robust market of second owners who see a luxury sports sedan for $20 grand and think “Man that’s a 100000 dollar car I can’t pass it up!” For reference, I submit the AMG 63c sitting in the weeds across the street from my…

Damn, at $2k adding a small modern juice brake up front wouldn’t be a tough upgrade and well worth it.   

Where I lived in Cypress as well as Katy prior to that most of the garages I went to for testing were pretty strict, going to far as to test headlight alignment and I had one fail me two years in a row first for having “dim” taillights and a second time for having a leaking power steering fluid reservoir. In the case…

Correct, lacking criminal intent and an apparent “good faith” effort by the driver (despite his horrid behavior leading up to the accident) to remain on scene and render aid I can kind of understand why the popo would have let him go home. However I thought TX had instituted rules that in the event of a vehicle…

And Texas HAS mandated annual vehicle inspections which while I don’t know enough about how diesel engines are tested, I know they take a pretty strict line on how much one can modify the intake and exhaust system of their vehicle before it triggers the big red light on the inspection computer.

One day the editor’s here will write a headline for Lordstown that we can sing to the tune of Camptown Ladies. I mean, what else is there to beat out of this particular dead horse? Let’s at least have some fun with it.

Having actually bought a PS2 along with Vice City on its release date, and then pre-ordering San Andreas (w/ Hot Coffee) these games still hold a tremendous amount of nostalgia for me. Alas my PS2 has long since gone to the great yard sale in the sky so I’m eager to see how well these will be ported to the Switch.  

Is this guy sleeping IN his car? I didn’t get that from the message but that seems like what the writers are suggesting to him. In that case buy a Tacoma with a bed tent. Don’t get me wrong I love my 4-Runner but with the Taco all of your gear can be chucked in the bed at the end of a camping trip nasty and smellin’…

I’m unreasonably excit3ed that these will be released on Switch, sorry but I am an Old and I don’t need all those wizz-bang features of an X-Bone or PS5

No, looks far too much like my college Toyota Tercel of approximate similar vintage, and that was was terrible.

I was hoping someone else would say this, I heartily agree. Alas what was available w/in Chrysler at the time, just the 4.0 TJ engine and let’s face it that wasn’t exactly a powerhouse. Torquey as all get out sure. Bonus perk is in about 30 years if Jalopnik is still around we would be getting a ton of articles from…

There are two problems with this argument.

Moose Fuselage was the name of my acapella folk music band in college.  

Best car for passengers is the one where they shut the hell up and enjoy the ride because they are passengers and as such they have no say, no rights and no power. No visors to leave down, radio controls are out of reach, vents will stay where the driver puts them and their arms are kept out of the way of wherever the…

I actually did live in a travel trailer last year during the pandemic (not because of, just happened to coincide) while I was working in TN and having camped extensively through West TX & Colorado it was way nicer than a tent and I enjoyed it more than staying in an extended stay hotel. When I picked it up from my…

If I wasn’t handy, I would never consider the option of owning an RV or travel trailer. Maybe as a large family to come together and buy one to defray the costs across a large group and see it get used more often, but for most people/families even if you are wanting to full-time live in one they are just a terrible…
