Best I could do was this Porsche inline 5

Brakes. They really are a simple system and once you know how you can do them at home with good parts for 1/3 of what you would pay someone. Plus you know how to clean them each spring (if you live in the snow belt) to give them that like new feeling and keep them going strong. I love that nice, high, responsive brake…

NO_x isn’t a GHG, so if your aim is to reduce GHGs, you should be for more diesels, as they’ll emit less CO₂.

The big thing with traction control is it allows automakers to spec crappy OEM tires because the TC is supposed to compensate for that. So they ship you a car with low rolling resistance ECO tires that achieve their EPA ratings and when it snows 1cm you’re just supposed to lean on the driver assists. It’s friggin…

A junkyard one, of course! With bent tubes, to boot!

Use zero interest rates when they’re offered, and earn interest or invest the cash.

Don’t worry folks, This JEEP is in (Forward) Control.

“I have seven dollars.”

Old Audis: we need more of them on the road! That’s what I say.

if your answer is not Countach you were born at the wrong time

The answer is XJ. It is the quintessential “Beater With A Heater.”

Also, my landlord sold that damn Honda. Thank god.

You need to locate all the grounding points for the dash and check them for corrosion or broken connections.

Best? Jeep maybe?

Okay, I can stop you. Three words:

Anything that comes with a Peugeot BA10/5 should not cost 5 figures.

I imagine resale value will be quite good for a Wrangler pickup. Wranglers are probably the only other vehicle that holds its value as well as a Tacoma. The rest of that stuff, however, not so much.

If you want to build mainstream cars and be competitive, you have to build and ICE engine of your own. Specialty cars like Aston don’t matter as much, but Ford isn’t going to sell you an engine to directly compete with their own cars. If they did, they’d make it so expensive that you couldn’t compete or they’d give…

Shit, I must be old - when I was a kid, ALL of the school buses I rode on were manuals. I graduated HS in 1985.

This is starting to feel like a trap.

Looks like a clean XJ. Love me some Ecco wheels.
