First Miata I had the opportunity to drive was a buddy of mine who had an NA in college, one night he got into a fight with his girlfriend and she wanted to go home but he was too drunk to drive and she couldn’t drive stick so I offered to take her and her friend home and I ended up unexpectedly spending the night…

3. The construction industry (of which I am a small cog amongst many large gears) has seen the scourge of “JIT” deeply affect all manner of scheduled work. Its great when you read all the books on LEAN and 6-SIGMA and The Toyota Way and how it can be applied to commercial building but given the nature of construction…

LOL @ dealer + “no charge” lolololol

This’ll land at the top end of the super bike pricing pyramid because “Its American Sportbike!”

Really angling for my son to consider one of these as he has been making noise that its just about time to buy his first new car but he wants relatively inexpensive and good economy. Currently driving an older Mitsu Mirage but its rusting away and he is borrowing mom’s car more and more lately to get out of driving…

I would honestly rather have the last two (planned) books in the ASOIAF series and worry about filling in the corners later.  I do enjoy the canon expanded world stories but get the main storyline dealt with then spread out.  

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.  

“Dodge Caliber, a very shitty execution of what is now a common vehicle type.”

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…
