Anyone consenting to a slow death covered in blood sucking leaches would love today’s subscription services. I’ve found that there’s two I can’t / don’t want to quit: Amazon and Spotify. My Netflix sub is about to be jettisoned thanks to their increasingly monetized ‘rental’ fees for classic films that should be

I’ll go out on a limb and not regurgitate all the tropes about slant 6's, Mercedes OM617 engines, Hiluxes blah-blah-blah. I’ll stick with what I know first hand:
My dumbass college pal Sean had a Mazda GLC that received zero maintenance, ever. He honestly thought an oil change was when you added more. One day on our

Until EVs can be as quickly charged, and charged from any station like a gas car, then they need to be taken off the road.”

Cops should be bonded like any other contractor and have skin the game. If not they should spend the rest of their lives with a garnished salary while stocking the shelves at the Dollar Store. Making the municipal taxpayers pony up for police murders and malfeasance is wildly unethical.

I was a month into my new life as an Engrish teacher in Japan and had never lived abroad which is thoroughly overwhelming and challenging, everything feels like a struggle. As anyone paying attention is aware, JDM cars are right hand drive which means shifting manual transmissions with your left hand. Japanese people

My thoughts exactly: two walk in, one walks out and the other gets a memorial service.

Anyone specifically considering an X1/9 is not cross-shopping Miatas. They’re probably also not looking at 1st gen MR2's. Anyone looking at the X1/9 is either chasing a dream from their childhood or buying another one to relive good times.

I agree, it debuted during a transitional period. The Aptera however makes it look like a garage hacker effort in comparison - and I kinda liked the Elio initially.

This assemblage of polygons is an insult to Deloreans everywhere.

You meant to type “Elio”. Aptera however are about to deliver a truly revolutionary, mostly solar powered car.

Same here. The pride I felt years ago seeing Teslas on the streets of Düsseldorf and watching Space-X rockets land themselves has been replaced with a grinding fear that billionaire sociopathic man-babies like Musk are the new normal.

My wife loves her Mazda B2300 pickup with steel wheels. I treated her by having them freshly powder coated with new shoes a few months ago, way better looking than any alloy wheel you could put on this Ranger derivative.

It is a bit pedantic to correct anyone calling them ‘steelies’ if they’re stamped alloy, but if

Admittedly I’m pushing people’s buttons by posting my amazing deal on a very limited purpose vehicle. Then again, I know its climb in value will be swift and chances are it’ll be as reliable as any Civic. I don’t recommend any single moms buy a 30 year old Z unless they have a safety net of some sort or write for

Well that’s reassuring. I feel I’m stepping into the void with this one.

Apropos of nothing, I once exited a relationship with a Corolla owner I wasn’t willing to fully commit to. I do admit a factory warranty & stellar history of reliability and thriftiness are compelling reasons to buy one.

Financing definitely has its time & place. Flip side is I know too many people who don’t necessarily need to buy a new $30k car but do so anyway because “warranty”. 

Similarly, a minivan is not the answer to our problem.

This $20,000 price point is absurd. Here’s our new-to-us $8k 300ZX. Patience, luck and an adventurous spirit pays off.

Fascinating topic, but the opening subheadline:

For the record, The Pike Factory Nissan S-Cargo is based on the B11 Station Nissan Sunny chassis produced from 1982 to 1990, not Micra. The S-Cargo shares the B11 Sunny’s front-wheel drive layout, 1.5-liter E15S engine, and 3-speed automatic transmission.
